MSNBC reporter Chris Jansing claimed President Barack Obama’s keen interest in this week’s African leadership summit stems from the fact that “he’s from Kenya” — an assertion that took over ten minutes for her to reverse.

Jansing spoke to MSNBC’s Joy Reid about the ongoing meeting of American and African leaders in Washington D.C. “The White House is clearly, I would assume, hoping this will be part of the president’s legacy, given his background,” Reid said.

“Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya,” Jansing replied breezily. “And the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them.”

The reporter realized her misstatement about ten minutes later. “Yeah, and — and just obviously to clarify, I misspoke at the top — before,” she said. “It is obviously the president’s father who is from Kenya. And you clarified that.”

“But he has a real connection,” Jansing continued. “And there has been a great expectation that great things could happen with this president and the African continent.”

Reid shrugged off the gaffe, but at MSNBC headquarters the rumors must already be swirling. Is Chris Jansing secretly a birther?

Everyday he wakes up in the White House is proof that he played most Americans like the “adult learners” they are.

You make a good point. Otoh, remember how much help Obama’s deception enjoyed. Not only did he have 100% of the Dems & the MSM, he also had pretty much all the Republicans. I remember writing to my ‘conservative’ Rep (he enjoyed that reputation widely, at least until this last primary cycle) early in Obama’s term. I asked him why we the constituents shouldn’t be allowed to view Obama’s birth certificate, since we were footing the bill for the WH, AF1, security, paychecks, lavish parties, even more lavish vacations, etc. etc. [This was pre-Trump, when O refused to show us anything at all.] The Rep wrote back that Obama was born in Honolulu and that this had been confirmed. No advantage in pushing it beyond that point.

So yes, the voters got played. But Obama couldn’t have done it alone, & he couldn’t even have done it with only the Dems & MSM. He needed GOP collusion also...and he got it.
