What 29-30 year old is so full of it, er himself, that he's writing his AUTOBIOGRAPHY at that age?
His communist mentors were carefully positioning their marionette at least that far back!
According to Breitbart's Ben Shapiro, Obama's literary agent firm, Dystel & Goderich, didn't get around to correcting the Kenyan birth detail until sometime between April 3, 2007 and April 21, 2007. That was based on a search of the Wayback Machine. Zero launched his presidential campaign in February 2007.
I can't imagine that the source of the Kenyan birth factoid could have been anyone other than Obama himself. He obviously thought it was a useful component of the legend he was trying to build. He probably simply forgot it was still out there waiting to be found by Google. I wonder who reminded him that it wasn't useful in a presidential campaign?
I don't buy the stuff about applying as a foreign student with an Indonesian or Kenyan passport. I don't think he needed to do that. Columbia and Harvard probably thought he was the ideal affirmative action applicant. Black. Unusual international background. And, as Slow Joe Biden said, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
