Promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

While on a plane, returning from Africa in 2006, Obama stated to Lynn Sweet
Excerpt:
Obama’s next big international journey will be in 2007—he’s looking at China, India and Indonesia, ``where ironically I actually have more of a childhood than I do in Kenya.’’

“If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation,” Orengo posited, “how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?”

Kenyan Ambassador admits Obama born in Kenya

Excerpt -—
Radio Host:
One more quick question, president elect Obama’s birthplace over in Kenya is that going to be a national spot to go visit where he was born?

Kenyan Ambassador:
It is already an attraction. His paternal grandmother is still alive.

Radio Host:
But his birth place, they will put up a marker there?

Kenyan Ambassador:
It will depend on the government. It is already well known.

Refuse to buy BO’s book. BUT have been thinking. Isn't there a paragraph in it where he tells of finding his BC and his shot records. That his BC was not what he had been told.

We cannot witness our own birth. We only know what we have been told.

[Political Junkie Too]

Setting aside Vattel, what do you make of Thomas Paine writing in 1791 that the president cannot be "half a foreigner" and that the president must have a full and natural connection to the country? Wouldn't Paine be an accurate chronicler of the plain meaning at the time?

I am distantly recalling an executive order that Obama passed once he got into office that was related to privacy.

Executive Order 13489 of January 21, 2009

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2009-01-26/pdf/E9-1712.pdf

Authors write their own bios, and after it’s printed they are asked to review it for accuracy. This is specifically true of the literary agency in question and of the industry as a whole.

The bio that ends up on the book jacket? This was promotional material. The book may not have been written yet, for all I know. The employee may have guessed based on what she thought she remembered.

I guess Obama could have been another possible the source of the error, making different claims at different times. He could even have written the part about his father being Kenyan Finance Minister.

I got into the discussion just to say that if there was an error made, it was most likely to involve material that was already known to the employee about Hawaii and Kenya, rather than pull in something new about Obama being born in Sweden or France. In other words, if she did make a mistake, this was the logical one to make.

[Fantasywriter]

This is not a bio that was included on a book jacket. Even if it was, however, the facts would have come from the author. No literary agency employs detectives or even fact checkers to learn [on a cold case basis] about prospective authors. They ask new and would-be authors to write their own bios and submit them w any sample chapters, book proposals or other materials related to publication. The idea that standard practices were waived in one case only, Obama’s, is bizarre and irrational. He would have provided the agent w his biographical facts AND he would have been asked to review the final draft; there's just no way around it.

[Brown Deer]

So why would it be logical for the publisher to make that guess about an unknown author back then?

[dinodino]

Obama himself was most certainly the source of the “error.” Other authors with the same agency have come forward and stated that this firm requests the bios from their authors. Also, the bio went through multiple revisions between ‘91 and ‘07! Are we to believe that, in all these revisions, Obama himself had no input and that never once in those sixteen years did he actually read one of these bios?

The exceedingly inconvenient fact for Team Obama is that he either lied about a Kenyan birth, or lied about a Hawaiian birth. Either way, he’s a giant liar, and of all things, about his own nativity! Obama is the original Birther.

Seen this? Another Corsi interview:

Another item I discovered awhile back, reflecting how Zero mentioned his Kenya story as Senator:

In the popular vid on youtube several years ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V1nmn2zRMc

a poster and Zero kool-aider DrWizardMan,
(Now deleted profile)
http://www.youtube.com/user/DrWizardMan

stated deep in the long comments:

“I met Obama in Chicago in the early 2000s, while he was still a state senator. I was discussing some issues and mentioned my sister’s husband is from a native Kenyan; he laughed and mentioned how he was born there, as well.

I don’t dislike this man, in fact he’s doing a pretty good job as president, but it’s pretty obvious he’s lying about his birth certificate.”

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[arthurus]

Well, we already know he is quite unprincipled. Either Romney or the Kenyan- the prospects are bleak. Either way we get socialized medicine. Romney has already said he means to keep the “good” stuff And he does have a record on the subject. Socalized medicine locks the chains on the society and ends the possibility of avoiding full blown socialism for a while longer.

Does all tht legalese eventually run out? At some point does the executive privilege expire?

Reply to 23

Think about what it took to print something back in 91. Computers weren’t widely used in offices for regular typing. That pamphlet had to be gone over a hundred times before it went to the print shop.

[jdirt]

Does anybody here have vaccination forms? I don’t. I went to Catholic school and we didn’t have any vaccination forms. I am about the same age as Obama.

[dinodino]

I have vaccination forms. I lived and traveled abroad as a child and I have a yellow cardboard record of all my shots. I even received smallpox vaccinations twice!

[Brown Deer]

Did you travel all over the world (without a U.S. passport) most of your life?

[ladyjane]

Applying Occam's Razor, I've always believed Obama was born in Hawaii.

You're forgetting pregnant girls in the 1960's always went away, usually to visit an 'aunt' to have the baby. Plus, there are no pictures of Stanley pregnant and she showed up in Seattle shortly after he was born. My razor says she went to Vancouver to have the baby.

[El Sordo]

No.

Obama was born in Hawaii and the 2-parent argument still has no legal basis regardless of how appealing it might be.

I have changed my opinion on Obama having ever claimed to be born in Kenya (or at the least having encouraged the idea) because an actual piece of evidence has been produced that he has plausibly done this.

Actual evidence that the claim had to have come have come from BHO or at least been known to him. Not conjecture, or implausible speculation, or wild assumptions that require ever expanding conspiracies.

This might have actually gone somewhere if Birthers hadn’t so thoroughly and completely poisoned the well with their stupidity.
