Claim: A 1991 literary promotional booklet identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya.

Example: [Collected via e-mail, May 2012]

Breitbart News has obtained a 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."

The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

ORIGIN:In May 2012 the web site Breitbart published a copy of a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by the literary agency Acton & Dystel showcasing their roster of writers, among whom was a young man named Barack Obama. This booklet was of particular interest because it included a brief biographical sketch which described the future President as having been born in Kenya:

I’d appreciate some sort of attribution. I suspect most readers would.

You registered yesterday as a user on FR. Is that correct? Or were you a poster here in times past under a different username or names?

Point is, if you do some homework and investigating into the FR archives utilizing the search feature, you'll find plenty of pictorial evidence to satisfy your need to know about 0's use of makeup and his appearances without it.

Plenty of history available on the servers here, even though you appear to prefer disseminating your own brand of misinformation and insults without knowledge.

“And then, on September 11, the world fractured. It’s beyond my skill as a writer to capture that day and the days that would follow—the planes, like specters, vanishing into steel and glass; the slow-motion cascade of the towers crumbling into themselves; the ash-covered figures wandering the streets; the anguish and the fear.”

Bill Ayers may have been a vicious and violent communist nutbag, but you have to give the guy credit, he is an excellent writer.

So was Frank Marshall Davis. I bought a copy of his book, "Livin' the Blues" and the writing in it is very good.

The lies in Dreams concern Obama. He is the subject of the memoir, and the focus of the lies.

he took back the lectern and stated, “President Obama was born in the United States, period.”

[DiogenesLamp]

Yes, if this is such a ho hum and fringe issue, why does O'muslim send out his pink-pantied key board 'warriors' to defend his 'legitimacy' or 'legacy'? /s

Some of these people aren't prostitutes, they're groupies, intent on defending their Charles Manson like leader.

Did you notice how Obama wants everyone to drop the subject? I think it makes him nervous.

[Fantasywriter]

Yes, I believe corruption is the essence of our current government. And yes, I believe you are an Obot troll. Just being honest with you. Fwiw.

[Resettozero]

...he took back the lectern and stated, “President Obama was born in the United States, period.”

Yes indeed he did. DJT today agreed with Obama's narrative, the press' narrative, the DNC narrative. And most in the DNC media seem greatly upset that he did and still cannot get their stories straight this evening about why they're so angry with his comment.

(DJT did not use the wording "I think". He just "finished" the controversy that the Clinton team (Sid Blumenthal) began in 2007-2008.

It’s all just nasty name-calling with you, isn’t it? No regard for truth. No regard for common decency. Just one unsubstantiated claim after another. You’ve seen the COLB. You’ve seen the long-form birth certificate. You’ve seen several confirmations from the state of Hawaii. After several years now, no credible or legal challenge has been made to these documents. Does that really mean nothing to you? You’re effectively calling the officials who’ve issued these documents a bunch of liars! I just don’t see how that jibes with a conservative Christian mindset.

Yes, you're definitely an Obot Troll. Conservatives are of two minds about this. Those that very much believe there are serious problems with what we've been told, and those that simply do not care about the issue. There are none vehemently supporting Obama's legitimacy.

As for the Long Form, it has been demonstrated six ways from Sunday to be a fabrication, and so far as Hawaii telling the Truth about birth certificates is concerned, no state tells the truth about Birth Certificates regarding AN ADOPTED CHILD.

There are seven pieces of circumstantial evidence that demonstrate Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in 1965, and when Obama came back to Hawaii in 1968 or 1969 to live with his grandparents, some sort of legal guardianship status had to be worked out for him.

A lot of people believe that 1971 visit by Barack Sr. from Kenya was to establish custody under Hawaiian law, which he could then sign over to the Dunhams.

The point is, It is not unusual at all for a state to produce a fake birth certificate for a child that has gone through an adoption process.

That's why Obama's released birth certificate has so many obvious flaws. It's the product of government employees who don't really give a crap about the quality of their work.

It was meant to fool children and Schools and such, not stand up to intense scrutiny.

Gotta go. Back later.

I don’t recall the exact citations re infants flying in the early sixties. I recall Obots by the dozens mocking the idea that Stanley Ann could/would have flown with a newborn from Africa to HI, but I don’t have links. Hopefully someone does.

[Fantasywriter]

So according to you, ‘they never lived there,’ means, ‘they lived ther,’?

I had forgotten how dense Obots are.

[Herman Ball]

Honestly,they are all in bed together and running this country like a Fraternity!

[RipSawyer]

“It doesn’t make any difference now.”

Yes and no, I would say that his success in becoming president even though definitely NOT constitutionally qualified is what makes people such as Cruz and Rubio believe that is does not matter that they are not natural born citizens.

you are making a distinction that is not significant. If trump reserves the interpretation that you suggest, then he is for all practical purposes deceptive.

That being said. The last i read there were about 6 digital document ex[perts who said the form issued by the WH was forgery. Is that still an active possibility?

This announcement today by trump will become the majority opinion and the issue will be difficult if not impossible to resurrect.
