Now the argument on the other side is, ‘But it was different for Obama’. Meaning it doesn't matter what the industry standards are or what other authors are asked and expected to do; everything is always different for Obama. Special rules apply and special treatment is given.
I know that this actually is the argument because I have had long dealings w Obots and moonbats. [Not calling you either one; just citing my credentials.] At some point that ‘argument’ runs out of steam. An honest person is going to acknowledge that standard rules applied and Obama damn well did know what his bio said—he approved it.
Now the question becomes, did he lie then or when he claimed to be born in HI. I used to think he lied re: Kenya. Evidence is mounting, however, that the Big Lie concerned HI. Get back to me after the next Zullo/Arpaio presser, and let's talk again. I expect to have an update right about that time.
I think it's doubtful that Obama wrote what's in the pamphlet. I suspect it was created by the agency from information that he gave it. But however it was created, it's certainly possible or even likely that the shorter version got back to him and he saw no need to revise or correct it.
