This does not mean that Obama was born in Kenya. Instead, what it does mean is that on April 3, 2007, his publisher said that he was "born in Kenya."
In 2012, a former employee of his publisher said that this was a "fact checking error" that happened in 1991.
If this was a "fact checking error," where did this false information originate?
Why did this false information remain in place for sixteen years?
Why did it only get corrected when Obama announced that he was running for President?
I work in publishing. Our authors receive questionnaires for us so that we may write their bios, unless they have established bios. Either Barack was born in Kenya or he told people he was born in Kenya. George O’Leary was fired at Notre Dame for fabricating his resume. Doesn’t sound any different to me.

To fool the people.
Thanks Grundle. Nice...
... This does not mean that Obama was born in Kenya.
Right, he might have been born in Hawaii but lied to obtain favored foreign exchange student status. This would be a good reason for sealing all school records. Everything about Obama appears to be a fraud.
It is incomprehensible that they keep hammering on the possibility that he was born in Kenya. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
But nobody pays attention to the fact that his father NEVER was a US citizen.
Is there not one congresscritter who fully understands the meaning of being a ‘natural born citizen’ or is it just that their jobs are more important to them than the welfare of this nation?
What a bunch of numbnuts.
He’s lying now or lying then ping
I think he is an allusion. What with the halos, the shiny balls and all.
Obama’s father: Overstayed his student visa, and used two differnt DOB’s on government paperwork.
Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt: Using public housing in Boston, the result of falsified paperwork.
Obama’s half brother: Found to possess multiple SS numbers....the result of falsified paperwork.
Obama as a child in Indonesia: Attended a government sponsored school, reserved for citizens....maybe not falsified paperwork, if Soetoro adopted Barry, but would make Barry inelegible to be POTUS...so the only other possibility is mom falsified paperwork.
Falsifying paperwork, in order to work the system is in Barry’s DNA.
I think he was born in Hawaii. I also think Barry lied on student aid forms and said he was from Kenya. Its something that would make mom and dad proud...and all his other deadbeat freeloading relatives. There is no way his bio page said he was from Kenya (for 16 years), without Barry’s approval. So there you have it, Barry is the FIRST birther.
I have no idea how to find it but at various times people have posted here at FR news articles from his past referring to him as the “African-born senator from Illinois”. Several, from a variety of publications.
Which doesn’t mean he was born in Africa but does mean at one time it suited him for people to think he was born in Africa. Gave him a patina of exotic, perhaps, made him more interesting than he was.
Then when it no longer suited him to be known as “african born” all that disappears and now if you take him at his (former) word, you’re the crazy one.
No, what it means is that Obama filled out the biographic sketch stating he was born in Kenya, gave it to the publisher and approved it for publishing. Was he lying then or is he lying now? Either way, he's a liar.
It was probably forgotten as ancient history until one of Obama's handlers found it and had an "aw sh!t" moment. They quickly tried to make it go away - but not before the older versions were cached in the Wayback Machine. BTW you're absolutely correct: the information, whether the truth or a lie, could only have come from Obama. Too bad the lapdog media won't put Obama or Carney on the spot about it.
Great find. Yes...why did they wait 17 yrs to change the “born in Kenya”
Instead of trying to run out a conservative Senate candidate in Missouri....maybe its time for so-called “Conservative” talk-radio and GOP media to start treating the Obama Eligibility issue much more seriously. At least, we would have explanation for all these Obama “birth” issues...instead of more questions.
Has anyone interviewed any of the vast numbers of authors with blurbs on this list, to find out how THEIR bios were produced? If the responses for authors who first had bios in the same time frame that Obama’s “born in Kenya” language first appeared demonstrate a pattern (e.g., submitting a bio you wrote yourself; answering a questionaire, etc.), that would be quite relevant. Typical industry practices, crap some employee says in 2012, etc., are not definitive.
Obama manages to hide from the obvious question some “courageous journalist” needs to ask: “Did you submit your own bio to Dystel & Goderich when you started promoting the book that became Dreams?” My guess is that Obama has told this born-in-Kenya lie so many times that he almost believed it himself until it became inconvenient.
It is annoying that you posted this old information. Those of us who make a point to keep up with this issue are well familiar with this bit of data.
