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:

Obama's greedy attempt to sell his own book glorifying his foreign birth and rags to glory story was the birth of the birther movement?

Most of us saw this 7.5-8 years ago, and were ridiculed, sometimes here, for daring to object to the leftists’ god’s “credentials”.

All I know about this “birther” crap is that, immediately after Obummer got on the ticket way back then, his own grandmother said she witnessed his birth in Kenya. The neighborhood where he was born even had a sign up that read something like “birthplace of Obama.” Shortly after that, it was changed to “Boyhood Home of Obama.” Something has stunk from day one, plus he and his wookie wife bragging in his senate days that he was the first Kenyan to get in the Senate.

He is a foreign national, illegal alien, and a traitor.

Others who were featured in the booklet said they wrote their own bios, so Obama probably wrote this himself.

Even if we had eyewitnesses to his birth, told in the first person, it would not have made any difference...........oh, wait, WE DID! His fraternal grandmother said she did!...................

Oh, CR@P. Are we going to hash this all over again? Where’s ButterDeZillion when you need her? It was a severe case of tainted evidence that went nowhere, is going nowhere and will go nowhere. Too many footprints.

He claims a foreign national as father, so he is not a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.
Children of foreign nationals are not natural born citizens.
One is naturally a US citizen when one can’t possibly be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
He could have been born in Canada and been just as eligible as Cruz, not eligible at all.

R-E-L-A-X. It is perfectly fine to rehash it here on FR, just as long as DJT stays away from the issue now and let’s us voters bring it up it’s all good.

The Dems just want to make Trump the focus of attention. Since Illary staff brought up the subject in 2008 it appears to be back-firing.

Jim, This is like revisiting history. This was my first introduction to FR back 2008. No one would listen to us. I figure we’ll see justice in history. Obama will become a pariah, a usurper in office. Today, though, all we can do is grimace and just focus on defeating Clinton. The lies, the damage they have both caused America are unforgivable.

Obama is an (Raila) Odinga Kenyan. Everyone knows it. Our old friend Kenny Bunk was a scholar on the subject. He knows it. He got into schools because of it. There’s no question about it. Either you understand the “Birther” (Long form / COLB / hospital) issue... Or you think “trhere’s nothing to it he was born in Hawaii. Trump did scholarship and his own legacy a great disservice today.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
