Why Kenyan Birth Claim Was No 'Fact Checking Error'

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.

I recall reading that Zer0 was with mom, Stanley Ann, who was taking courses at the University of Washington. They were there for two years. I believer that Stanley Ann was receiving state assistance from Washington State. They should have information about Zer0’s birth circumstances on record in their state archives if indeed, they did receive state assistance.
I wonder why no one has not requested those records?

I’m not convinced Stanley Ann was on state assistance. I think her family had enough money for her to go to college. Besides, a lot of those kinds of assistance programs didn’t really exist until the late 1960s. Here’s a great opportunity, though, to chase this down. Good luck. Share your findings.

The clatter of tiny pebbles youre hearing is the beginning of an avalanche. I would like to agree with you about the avalanche part. Unfortunately, the public takes this approach to the facts:

The clatter of tiny pebbles youre hearing is the beginning of an avalanche.When people like Limbaugh and Levin are fighting the "birther" movement tooth and nail, who's going to keep this rolling? The MSM? The GOP-E?

Limbaugh and Levin will have to admit that the evidence now is far, far more than circumstantial. They’ll be on the wrong side of logic if they continue to avoid the elephant i the living room.

I have no way of knowing for sure, but I think Rush seriously follows this issue, given some of the hints he drops in his on-air conversations. It’s possible he even lurks here.

He would be a natural born US citizen in that case.
Please flame away, cuss and swear, even toss out a few made up case in point anecdotes, but don’t try and defend your idea. It’s wrong and it’s not even close.
To be a natural born US citizen, both your parents DO NOT have to be natural born US citizens themselves.

Have you read this?
I think it's worth your time.
Also, Here's you some more sources and FACTS.
Barack Hussein is an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, pure and simple. People can go to www.scribd.com and read their pages 20 thru 32 ,
For those of you who don't know, remember this:
The Democrats knew about this BEFORE Obama was elected in 2008!
8 Congressional attempts from June 2004 to February 2008 to alter Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution, proves to me
that the DNC knew that Obama was born in Kenya.
Read it for yourself.
Then look at these links.
1. June 11, 2003, Rep. Snyder, Vic (D) 108th congress, H.J.Res. 59
2. Sep 3, 2003, Rep. Conyers, John Jr., (D) H.J.Res. 67
3. Feb 25, 2005, Sen. Nickles, Don (R-OK) Senate Bill 2128, counter the democrats Natural Born Citizen Act - but Defines it wrong
4. Sep 15, 2004, Rep Dana Rohrabacher (D)(R-CA46) H.J.Res 104
5. Jan 4, 2005, Rep Conyers, John Jr., H.J.Res. 2 109th Congress
6. Feb 1, 2005, Rep Rohrabacher, Dana (D) (CA-46) H.J.Res.15
7. April 14, 2005, Rep. Snyder, Vic (D) (AR-2) H.J.Res. 42
8. Feb 28, 2008, Senator McCaskill, Claire (D) Attachment to a military bill Senate Bill 2678 Titled Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act.
DNC Presidential Candidate Senator Clinton and Senator Obama were cosponsors of this bill.
9. April 10, 2008, Sen McCaskill, Claire (D) (MO) Senate Res.511 passed declaring Senator John McCain a Natural Born Citizen.
But it was never in question. It was cosponsored by DNC Presidential Candidate Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
Just before the 2008 election
Barack Obama's election team spent $1.4 million blocking access to all of Obama's records.
Barack Hussein Obama II is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED.
There were
8 attempts by Democrats to try to "Change the Qualification Rules" BEFORE Obama was elected.
They KNOW Obama's ILLEGAL ... AND .... UNQUALIFIED!
Obama's record is hard to find.
Think about
this.
"On August 4, 1961 Obama's mother, father and grandmother were attending a Muslim festival in Mombasa , Kenya .
Mother had been refused entry to airplanes due to her nine month pregnancy.
It was a hot August day at the festival so the Obamas went to the beach to cool off.
While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was rushed to the Coast Provincial
General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961(what a sad day for the USA!).
Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth."
Here's
something to ponder.
I think it more likely that the trip from Kenya actually occurred in August 1961, shortly after BHO-II's birth at the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa. Ann and her newborn son flew from Nairobi to London, via BOAC Flight BA162 and then took the non-stop BOAC flight from London to Vancouver, Canada. She then traveled the 110 miles or so, across the border, to Seattle in time to start Fall Semester, night-school extension classes at the University of Washington.
The trip would be challenging for a new mother, but she was young, healthy, intelligent, and capable. BOAC was very accomodating to mothers with young children back in the 1960s. No real problem!
From the Airline Timetable Images - List of Complete Timetables, the cost of BOAC from April 24,1960 until October 1, 1962 was:
From Vancouver to Nairobi cost in Canadian Dollars: Single Return
DL 1115.00 2026.80
F 1055.50 1918.80
T 764.00 1396.00
Y 701.00 1282.60
Passanger Fares could be "FLY NOW AND PAY LATER".
Arrangements could be made whereby residents of certain areas may, on payment of a 10% deposit, travel immediately and pay the balance of fare in monthly instalments.
If you're wondering about where the money came from, think about this.
Look at all the financial supporters Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. had."In 1959, Obama Sr. received a scholarship in economics through a program organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya.
The program offered Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students.[22][23][24]
Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk,
a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.'s early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University.
Funds provided the following year by John F. Kennedy's family paid off old debts of the project and subsidized student stipends,
thereby indirectly benefiting Obama Sr. and other members of the 1959 group of scholarship holders.
Yes, it's quite clear that money wasn't a problem for the Marxists Revolutionaries.
Passanger Information for that time frame can be found here.
Connections from Nairobi - Lusaka - Salisbury can be found here.
The BOAC World Routes Map is found here.
Departure arrival times from Britian to Nairobi are found here.
Departure arrival times for London and Vancouver are found here.
Now think about those facts,and statements.
The forgeries I'm aware of, are the three Birth Cretificate Barack Hussein Obama II has forged.
I don't trust evidence put forth by Obama supporters.
The disappearance of too much evidence on Obama is strong enough for me to know that he was born in Kenya.

Quite plausible that Communist friend of the family, Frank Davis Marshall, was the father or a friend of the father. Nude photos of Stanley Ann Dunham were taken and sold by Marshall. The relationship was more than platonic.

The First Bastard?
In an irony worthy of pulp fiction we may now wonder of our President, Whos your real Daddy? Joel Gilberts full-length documentary, Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception, regards Obamas paternity and will soon be in full release.
To: RobinMasters
Furthermore, why didnt BO himself ask for a correction back when he read it in 1991?
There was no need. It was and is the truth. It has been stated too many times by too many sources who never realized that it would be an issue due an election.
We have been duped, the whole GD nation. But he will get a pass.

Barack Hussein Obama II wrote that brief biography himself,
and everyone knows it.
Obama's only fooling the dupes that want to be fooled.

All the FReepers who fell for the Orwellian “birther” spin and propaganda are oddly silent. Embarassed, perhaps, for being such weak minded, easily manipulated sheep?
To: RobinMasters
These people probably got the Fact he was Born In Kenya from his College applications that have Been sealed.Sort of the same thing with The 1/32 Cherokee in Massachussetts.
Obama applies as a Foreign Student to get aid,The Indian applies as that to get Preference.
There has to be a Reason The Marxist signed an Executive order to seal all his records,Funny how The so Called curious Journalists have NEVER asked him that simple Question,Why Mr. Obama have you had your records sealed? That My Friends is the 64,000 dollar Question,someone NEEDS to START to ask It,HEY you Incompetent Rino Mitt,wake up you Putz.
To: dr_lew
Its an incredible development. How can you get around it? The same way Obama's getting around not talking about the economy. Bring up anything else to act as a diversion. This included.
All this proves is that Obama will go to any length to not talk about his record. Bringing the birther issue again helps him do just that, and he gets to re-brand his enemies as nothing more than "birthers."
Don't fall for it folks. The more talk there is about the "birther" thing again the less focus on Obama's abysmal record on the economy, jobs, taxes, foreign affairs, and the list goes on, and on and on.
Stop enabling Obama's strategy of distraction and focus on what matters at this point in the election: IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!
That's what the American people understand and feel in their bones. They see their spouse under/unemployed, they see family members and friends unemployed, losing their homes, etc. THAT and ONLY THAT is what we need to focus on to get rid of this POS.
Not birther issue again. Yes, it really is that simple. Stop being tool's of Obama and Axelrod's campaign of distraction!
