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:

He’s a Kenyan, Jim.

And gaining the Presidency through coercion and deceit is really nothing to be proud of, Michele.

Your belief is based upon a fraudulent birth certificate?

Assuming you are correct, the only valid logical conclusion that can be reached from your assertion:
“Obama claimed Kenya as his birthplace during this period was because he applied for and received foreign student benefits.”
then, is that based on those claims Obama (if that is his real name) is a liar and thief.

Your theory doesn’t explain the fact that Obama’s mother and baby Obama never resided at the address listed on the birth annoucements and the cut-and-paste birth certificate. Nor does it explain the fact that no one can place Obama’s mother at any other location in HI during or immediately following her pregnancy, either.

I think it’s safe to call Barack 0bama a bald-faced liar
it’s just not easy to say which of his stories is a lie in any given instance.

He very well may be a Natiral Born vitizen, but who are his real biological parents ? The world may never know. There’s so much more to this story ...so many tangled lies.

The problem is we have had a soft coup d’état. They feed us small snippets of information that hint at some sort of truth, then the media blesses it by ridiculing anyone who doesn’t believe it.
We have multiple examples of the three branches of government doing their assigned tasks incorrectly,
the judicial branch making laws, the executive branch making laws and the Congress and Senate going along with anything so they can get a gold-plated pension and health care benefits unavailable to the deplorables.
Its over if Trump doesn’t win, even he will not be able to do much. The commies will grind us to a halt with BLM and gender inequality, gun control.
Maybe its time to stop caring and get out and do more hunting and fishing.
Commandant Zero was not born in the USA, of that I have no doubts.

That's the legend. It's a lot less clear-cut if you actually listen to the recording. We don't actually hear her saying it. There's a lot of confusion and people yelling, and the interviewer claiming that's what she said when it's not clear that she did. McRae keeps switching between "your son" and "your grandson" so it wouldn't be surprising if she were confused.

When this story first came out, I rushed over to the website that was announcing the scoop and I listened to the audio recording.

The woman obviously did not speak English, the Guy asking her the question made it deliberately leading and confusing, and when the woman said "Yes" he interpreted this as "proof", despite the fact that once the question was repeated to her once more in her own language, she then adamantly said "no."

It is not at all cut and dried. It was clearly an attempt to set her up to agree with him, and she did initially but immediately recanted that answer.

I wanted this story to be true, but I have to say this myth is busted.

Hi guy. I hope you are doing well.

Philip Berg does some opposition research and comes across this gem. He tells Hillary’s operatives and Cankles says let’s go with this. It’s my turn and no negro upstart is going to take it from me.

PIAPS operative relays this to Berg, and he files suit (or was it quashed at the Clerks office?) in Philly.

Thanks, Jim, for this documentation.

This is an example of free speech via the internet, which we are in highest jeopardy of losing post 9/30/16.

That's the truth. And same for both Bill and Hillary. Word-weasels the lot of 'em.

‘They lived in the bungalow behind the main house.’

Only in your Obama-shilling/defending/serving inagination. Even when Stanley Ann lived with her parents, her ‘quarters,’ consisted of a “makeshift” ‘room’ in the hall outside her parents’ bedroom. She never lived in the out building, Obama-flack.

Nor does it explain the fact that no one can place Obama’s mother at any other location in HI during or immediately following her pregnancy, either.

But we *CAN* place her in Seattle Washington on August 19, two weeks after her baby was born.

We can also point out that the airline regulations of that time period would not allow a two week old infant to fly, so how did Stanley Ann get to Seattle on August 19 if Obama was born in Hawaii?

Excellent question! Could it be Stanley Ann was already in the neighborhood?

Or if not, why go to the trouble and expense of leaving HI at all? Had she been in HI, she’d have simply continued her education there.

But if she was already close to Seattle, and the baby was too young to fly, then she might enroll at the University of WA for a few additional credits.

Mark Levin refused to discuss this the day it came out.

Your ignorance is breathtaking. The myth that Stanley Ann lived in the out building lasted exactly as long as it took for several Obama-friendly biographers to descend on HI. After which, actual research discredited that baseless claim.

Obama, he’s jus’ a victim of his, his, his, his....

CONSTANT LIES.

Was he lying then, or is he lying now?

One thing is for certain, Obama is ALWAYS lying.

And Hillary supports and supported him. And she lies, too.
