So this is made up? I can see Obama bragging against Keyes he is MORE AFRICAN American because he is from Africa.

Yes, allegation that Obama told Keyes he was born in Kenya was simply made up. The fact that Keyes, himself birther, has yet to confirm it, should clue you in.
As to the article you linked to, the reporter simply got his facts wrong. Reporters, being human, sometimes make mistakes. That goes double for reporters at second-rate organizations such as the Sunday Standard.
