Obama’s Manger: What if Kenya’s a Little Town in Hawaii?
Townhall.com ^ | May 20, 2012 | Doug Giles

Who the heck was Obama getting to hawk his books back in the ‘90s when he was doing coke and weed and hanging out with Marxists? Whoever it was, it is now causing quite a bit of consternation for BHO’s camp because they put on his bio that he was born in Kenya. This publication, apparently, even confused Michelle about Barack’s country of origin, as this video points out.

Kenya? Now, what kind of crap publishing company gets the nation of origin wrong for a rising star and does not correct it until 16 years later when he begins his bid for the Oval Office? Huh? I’ll tell you what kind of company: a sloppy company … a sloppy, sloppy company. Or … or … a racist company. Someone get Sharpton on this now that the Trayvon case is unraveling, as this could be fresh investigative fodder for the revered sleuth named Al.

I’ll tell you who else could have made such a ghastly mistake: a company run by women. Yep, that’s it. I bet a woman made that error because we all know how women can’t spell very good. Or is it goodly? Goodish? Hold on, let me check and see if it was a chick who made the mistake. Yep, one Miriam Goderich was the one who bungled BHO’s bio. Oh, I’m sure she “mistakenly thought,” as my buddy Neal said, “that Obama was from Kentucky, misspelled it, and it got auto-corrected to ‘Kenya,’ and no one caught the error before it went to press.” I bet she got fired and has never, ever done any work that relates to Obama since … or am I wrong about that?

Now, for detractors who are saying, “Well, Barack should have spotted the typo [the only glaring typo, by the way, on the entire brochure] and demanded his agency correct it.” All I’ve got to say is that you cannot expect a Harvard Law student to be busied with checking this type of minutiae as he was hard at it with macro issues, such as studying critical race theory, black liberation theology and Rules for Radicals.

It’s only low-level authors like me who’ve got the time to check for blunders, and thank God I did because on my most recent book my publicist—another woman—said I was originally from Tanzania instead of Texas. Women. #barefootandpregnantplease.

The fail-safe is that we have the mainstream media who will clear up this issue of Obama’s birthplace and get us back to the big issues of gay marriage, free rubbers for female law students and cars that run on algae.

"I wasn't born in Kenya, honest.

I just pretended to be, to get into Columbia and Harvard."

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it, until I evolve some more.)

Isn’t it up to Boner as House Leader to certify obozo as being qualified for this election or did Pelosi do it last time because she was the rat leader?

More than likely that is probably exactly what happened.

Problem for Zippo, he has been told his entire life that he is the smartest person in the world and white people are stupid.

He believed it, so he thought he could pull a fast one on the stupid white people and get special treatment by lying about where he was born what country he is a citizen of.

When his mother took him to Indonesia, she declared him to be a citizen of Indonesia. Indonesia apparently does not allow dual citizenship, so his US and any other citizenship was renounced.

The way I understand it, US law does not allow a parent to renounce the citizenship of a child, so IIRC at the age of 18 the child must reclaim their US citizenship.

If they do not reclaim their citizenship and declare themselves to be a citizen of another country, THEY as an adult have renounced their US citizenship.

More than likely Zippo referees to himself as a citizen of the WORLD because he is no longer a citizen of any country.

We need verification, yea or nay, that the AUTHOR wrote his own bio for that firm at that time.

We’re pointing fingers at the editor but the fault my lie with Obummer himself.

If he did write his own bio, which is/was common practice at most publishing houses IIRC, then he’s got no wiggle room at all.

“fault my lie with Obummer himself”

Miriam Goderich unbelievably has already taken the fall. But only a moron would believe her story! Is it proper etiquette for a President of the US to have previously held himself out as one born in Kenya? You might ask him if he read his own bio? That’s a start! Of course he could legitimately answer “It depends on the definition of Kenya”? Then of course we can all swoon and say see-see!

What is this shield around Obama all about? Very troubling! November elections very important.

“Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio;”
“This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me—an agency assistant at the time,”

No company would list his birthplace as Kenya without being told it was Kenya. And that was okay until he saw the chance of running for president. Then the lie came that he was born in Hawaii. He was born in Kenya and is in violation of the Constitution. I just wish there was somebody with the guts to call him on it who could.

Are those “Official Bios” of 1998 & 2007 also from the publisher/publicist?
