A "fact-checking error" -- again, and again. And again
Breitbart ^ | 5-17-2012 | Breitbart News

Posted on 05/18/2012 5:54:46 AM PDT by tellw

Goderich's statement fails to explain why the "fact checking error" persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystel's website, and through at least four different versions of Obama's biography.

When it served 0bama’s purposes, he was born in Kenya and was “a foreign student”.

When that “fact” was detrimental to him, it was no longer “true”.

If Obama got any kind of student “help” financially because of his foriegn status...would he not be liable for fraud!
and would that not be high crimes and misdemeanors?
Just saying

I went to that agency site and found this. Basically it says the author is the one who has to submit the information. So, if Obama’s team hasn’t locked it down, there should be a source document from Obama.

Here’s a bit of what I found under Submission Requirements:

Submission Requirements

Contrary to popular belief, we like our unsolicited queries to be concise, well-written and well-proofed, and as devoid of gimmicks as possible. Tell us who you are (past writing credits or celebrity status is helpful to know about but not mandatory), what your project is (a summary paragraph is good), and whether you have submitted this project to the entire publishing community already.

In order to get your foot in the door remember that appearances count. We don’t like to see handwritten queries with coffee stains on them. We don’t like our names misspelled. We don’t like a lot of typos in general. We don’t like generic “Dear Agent” letters, but we don’t like overly chummy greetings, either. Photographs generally don’t help – unless you’re George Clooney. Plain and simple works best for us. Don’t try to convince us that you’ve written the next GONE WITH THE WIND… we’ve heard that one before. Let your project speak for itself.

Enclose a cover letter, outline or brief synopsis of the work (with word count if possible), a sample chapter, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope for our response. Please type all of your correspondence and double space everything other than the cover letter. E-mail queries are fine, but keep them brief and make sure your cover letter is in the body of the e-mail. We won’t open attachments if they come with a blank e-mail. Please be sure to query only one agent at this agency. We will not review queries sent to more than one of us.

(there’s more at the site)......

So in theory, the agency follows its own protocol, there should be a source document FROM the President himself at that time. THAT is what would be telling. I suspect the DNC has fired up the Photoshop engines in turbo mode right now and it may take a couple days but we’ll see an altered submission....

Funny how the same “mistake” about his birthplace shows up in multiple docs, from multiple sources all over the place? How ironic that unrelated sources would make the same mistake over a period of several years.

I got into an argument with a Liberal neighbor about this last night.

I asked him, “Obama at some point claimed he was foreign-born to get into an Ivy League school. If Obama was born in Hawaii, he defrauded an American education institution. If he was born in Kenya, he defrauded the American people. He can’t explain away both, and he can’t have it both ways.”

He got red in the face and started bashing me for being a racist, fascist, bigoted, etc.

“Either way,” I said, “your boy committed fraud.”

He threw back the last of his glass of scotch, walked back to his house, and slammed the patio door without saying a word to me.

If sanity ever prevails again in this country, and if the future leaders of this country have the honesty, integrity and courage to admit what is probably the most egregious and flagrant coverup (likely rivaling what really happened with the philanderer JFK), perhaps this stain on our heritage can be corrected for future generations to ponder and learn from.

It's a case of: IS HE LYING NOW OR WAS HE LYING THEN?" Let's see his college records and see what they say!

... and fails to explain how she now knows that he was not born in Kenya.

Typical Democrat. Logic is a complete unknown to them. When confronted with it, the only response is racism and bigotry. A rather pathetic comment on the advancement of the human condition.

The fake birth certificate and fake Selective Service registration aren't enough for you?

Lost in all this birther crap is the whole purpose behind the “natural born citizen” clause of the Constitution.

The founders wanted to ensure that the executive power of the people was placed in an individual imbued and familiar with America, its way of life and its institutions from birth.

Obama, though probably born in Hawaii, is essentially a foreigner, with ideas foreign to American heritage. His aristocratic bearing is an affront to the American character.

There is something deep in the American charachter that recognizes and rejects this and I hope, always will. That republican spirit that says “hey, who the hell are you. Well get in line like everybody else!” will hopefully throw him out on his ear in November and not look back.

As Americans we’ll say “well I don’t care who this guy is, he sucked. Next!”

The question to me is “How did this ‘fact checking error’ get there in the first place"? No one has inadvertently suggested that I was born in Kenya. Why Kenya; why not France, or South Africa, or Australia? Why was this statement on the brochure?

Some people just can’t handle the truth. No more scotch for him.

I don't even know why the legitimacy of this issue is even challenged anymore:

His unchallenged biography clearly says he was born in Kenya,

His grandmother said she witnessed his birth IN KENYA,

The site where he was born had a sign posted "BIRTHPLACE OF OBAMA" which was quickly changed to "BOYHOOD HOME OF OBAMA,"

He, himself, has admitted in his own words that he was born in Kenya,

The newspapers declared that he was born in Kenya when he got into the Senate,

His rather porcine wife says he was born in Kenya, etc.

Do the members of congress hold the office of the president in that kind of utter contempt to not stop this monstrous fraud and jail these thugs?

though probably born in Hawaii

So far, ALL the evidence presented to support this has been proven to be forgery. Born in Hawaii or not, he is, without question, a pathological liar and fraud.

It’s like calling out someone for something they’ve been hiding and thinking that no one noticed. I truly, in my heart of hearts, believe that millions of Obama supporters secretly believe and accept that Obama is a criminal of the highest order, but they want to feel better about themselves and support him.

I’m as white as driven snow, but I harbor no guilt for the plight of the black man. I will never understand this mentality that we have to give them unlimited handouts as some sort of reparation for ills to their ancestors. That’s exactly what this comes down to, IMO. White people feel guilty that blacks had been subjugated for over 100 years, and to somehow cleanse themselves, they support an out-and-out criminal for President of the United States.

This country is irreparably damaged from 60 years of Democrat rule and this Marxist faggot in the White House. Nothing short of revolution and a complete do-over of the American experiment will fix this problem.

Like the tradition Americas bow to no one until Christ's return.

“Because the president you supported obviously committed fraud to get where he is, _I’M_ a racist, fascist, bigot? I’m not sure I follow your logic.”

It would take at least 30 years for anyone to have the guts to uncover this fraud.

I don’t think we have that long.
