No sooner did the literary agency brochure in which Barack Obama was said to be Kenyan-born surface than the media went to work to deep-six it.
"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me - an agency assistant at the time," Miriam Goderich, now a named partner in the literary agency, Dystel & Goderich, wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News, which was then picked up ABC News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."
This confession rings false to the point of preposterous for any number of reasons. Let us start with the obvious. At the time, 1991, the Acton & Dystel agency listed 90 clients, Obama among its least significant. How likely is it that Goderich would have remembered enough about a 1991 "error" to know it was hers, especially since it went uncorrected through several revisions until changed in 2007? To make this claim credible, there would have to be an existing paper trail leading to an Obama submission in which he lists an Hawaiian birth. I am confident that there is no such submission.

Yeah, the old trick of the Communist tactic of changing the language ever so slightly, as in Hope & Change, I bet.
Who ever wrongly claimed that to be a NBC your parents have to be NBC? The eligibility Conservatives never said so; therefore, it must be the NBC TV network!
His so-called life story is a lie and a composite... Or should I say compost?
Compost is innocent. It’s important for growth!
Where, by the way, is the feckless Congressional Republicans? I have not heard one of those...things, people,...even mention the question that millions of their constituents have regarding constitutionality of the Kenyan to hold his post. Not a single person. But they will let Joe Arpio twist in the wind doing the right thing. Sheriff Joe has a bigger set of nuts than the entire republican congressional delegation. They should all retire in shame....with a few exceptions.
I know, compost is good stuff. Maybe the nightmare we are in will become good compost for the future.
“Barack Hussein Obama II wrote that brief biography himself,
and everyone knows it.”
This information in the 1991 Booklet
Glorified Obama as a “Foreign Student”
who made it..... all the way...... to Pres. of Harvard Law Review being a “Foreigner”!!
Perhaps still on “Foreign Aid”
When it no longer suited him in 2007 being born in Kenya , this information could be a detriment to his political position & it was changed to being Born in Hawaii
Obama let this information stand without correction form 1991-2007
Was this because he was attending college as a Foreign Student on Foreign Aid?????
Of course he lurks here, or at least his staffers do. I can’t count how many times a story broke on FR, and the next day it was one of Rush’s talking points.
You can't...the truth is, Obama is a manufactured President. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that Obama himself doesn't know what the truth is on a host of things.
Rush is not stupid. I think he has a strategy in this whole ting and knows he has to be careful how he plays this.
This is a dangerous game with incalculable repercussions.....
In the light of a curious attitude on the part of many of the general public, Rush knows full well the pitfalls. You will be aware of the instances I give, but to get my point across I mention them. Dan Quayle had many strong personal characteristics, yet he honed the contempt of the usual suspects on his "Murphy Brown" statement. This on the value of two parents, not a single one. One move on spelling potato the old fashioned way and he was flattened.
They are just waiting for a major so- called "gaffe" on Rush's part. He will not give 'em the chance. Bill Cunningham's radio show on Sundays, allows that "only ten percent of me, believes the president was not born in the US. " Pretty smart tactic here. He then allows all and sundry to fire away on the subject, including Joseph Farah of WND. Callers are allowed full rein and sound like Freepers in some cases.
Bill thrown under the bus by Senator McCain, as he warmed up the crowd for the nominee. As most people will recall, Bill used the name Hussein to introduce the now president. Senator John tut tutted and appeared most perturbed over this.
And that cost him a lot of credibility with me. Real tough guy - afraid the MSM will call him a "Birther". Oh, horrors.
IMO, it’s the media and nothing but the media IS totally responsible for this and the ongoing destruction of the Republic.
Imagine if it were a Republican who wouldn’t have made the ballots, much less to the presidency!
Good post, I heartily agree.
I think we some times as posters here forget that we are in an entirely different position then some one like Rush is...that is we have about zilch influence even collectively vs the shock waves Rush can cause. IMO, he caries a very heavy burden and has to choose words carefully.
We can individually speak freely without consequence (other then a zot), Rush has no such luxury.
Not to mention we do not have anything to lose by speaking what we think is the truth, Rush, and those who similarly do what he does, do.
Yep, you don't last as long as he has without being able to our fox them at their own game, and he has.
Just another reason they hate him so much.
I think the term "birthers" is the real distraction here.
Once the phrase is uttered all else goes out the window and your point becomes moot.
In sales when your customer presents an objection, you concur then go on to pull them to your product by illustrating how it benefits them, IOW, you don't argue with them you lead them to the conclusion you want by letting them discover it on their own.
Rush is doing that by leading skeptics to ask why obama will not reveal his true past ie college and other records....which would probably lead to more about obama then we can imagine.
He is using this as a spring board to not only get this message out but also getting people to think about other things as well.
All the while not being distracted by the "birhter" pejorative.
You don’t think they’re afraid? I have a one word answer:
Breitbart.
If you think the leftists are nicer than the Bolsheviks, you need to take off your rose colored glasses.
I have enjoyed listening to Rush. I would enjoy him even more if he would more often take the time to express his appreciation to our Creator.
Do you think his audience would favor or disfavor his beginning each show with maybe a short nondenominational prayer?
