Not a PING!

The text editor of the 1991 literary agency booklet that described Barack Obama as “born in Kenya” said Thursday the line in question was “nothing more than a fact checking error.”
Miriam Goderich issued a statement to the Political Wire saying the future president never suggested “in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii”:
“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”

‘The Hand of Clinton in Obama revelations?’ (updated and bumped)
Includes video interview of Jack Cashill (very interesting)
IOW, she's claiming she pulled it out of her behind... and never ran it past Hussein to get his ok... and her boss and Hussein let it ride for 16 years... and it wasn't fixed until the scrub crew noticed it after there were questions about his NBC status. Yep, uh huh, and I have some oceanfront property for sale in Kansas.
In response to the agent’s claim:
“...[A] fact-checker does not make up text. A fact checker receives a text written by someone else, and then determines whether the factual assertions are based on the verifiable truth.
So the question remains: who submitted the text that was insufficiently fact-checked by Ms. Goderich? Who, in other words, first offered the assertion that Barack Obama was born in Kenya?”
Evidently, the original coverage of the story came from the Breitbart web site and they stating that they don’t actually believe that Obama was born in Kenya, but that they published the story to illustrate the fact that Obama changes his public persona at will. In other words, he deceives people about who he is and he presented himself as a cosmopolitan Black man for so many years that it finally came back to bite him in the 2008 election campaign.
The idea behind publishing the bio was to point out that if he lied about his birth place, what else does he lie about? Where are those college grades? Who were his friends? Who is he, really?
Andrew Breitbart left us knowing more than he had time to disclose to us.
What did he know that we need to re-discover, document and publish?
Why are ALL of Obama’s important early documents forged?
Where was Obama during his “Lost Years?”
Why are there so few known Obama childhood friends?
How many of Obama’s childhood buddies are still alive?
Was Obama a FOREIGN student at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard?
Who wrote the checks for Obama’s education?
Where these question that Andrew Beitbart knew some of the answers to?

To tie the above with some speculative food for thought, please indulge me, (but DO ponder the speculations), as I re-post one of my recently updated comments as follows:
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently, at least 40 % of polled American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his arrogant dictatorship.
About 47 % of American voters pay NO Personal Federal Income Taxes. These voters are the “fair share” voter base for Dictator Obama. We, in the 53 %, then are paying this 47 % to vote for Obama by virtue of us paying taxes for ourselves AND them.
In this manner we are supporting the voters who vote for Obama, and they will vote to do so again in November.
Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is to be re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he has already achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.
Obama’s obvious arrogant and deep hatred of America could have only come from what he was taught in his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible documents that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the Interpol, CIA and the FBI.
Will “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy the latter two US tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculations: what does your gut tell you?

Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Dictator, (in his own mind), Obama grows louder:
regulate —— control —— destroy —— Regulate —— control —— destroy —— REgulate —— control —— destroy —— REGulate —— control —— destroy —— REGU
Thanks for the ping; link(information on Arizona); thread. Humorous and serious. BTTT!
FUBO
Someone had to mention Kenya since the guy reportedly NEVER lived there.
Somebody is lying and it would appear to be the fink in chief who told black voters that the Selma march brought his parents together.
ABC News sat on the story until there was "plausible deniability" from the publicist.
Obama wasn't vetted is a lying jive turkey.
The question remains, did he fraudulently seek loans or acceptance at schools as a "foreign student"?
At the time of this posting, ABC News is the only mainstream U.S. media site even mentioning this new wrinkle in Obama’s paper trail.
Mark Steyn had an editorial just go online at the OC Register:
http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/obama-354827-ever-white.html
Salon, Media Matters, and Politico have weighed in.
Atlantic Wire (Atlantic Monthly’s blog) has a snarky attack on birtherism in their headline.
Everything is either a blog or UK press.
No one ever wants to address the FACTS that this man is a FRAUD.
Joe Biden got drummed out of the 1988 president campaign because he was caught plagiarizing quotes.
IF this is a simple fact check error, where is the corrected version?
Obama was okay with this erroneous bio being circulated?
A publicist who cannot get basic facts right would be out of work.
Not a PING!
I loved those records as a kid.
Some blogs are calling it a “typo”.
Someone must’ve tried to type KANSAS but it came out KENYA.
At that time he wasn’t even supposed to write an autobiography. This was the book BEFORE his publisher allowed him to shift course and tell the life story about someone nobody knew. “I ate dog, snorted cocaine, and had so many lady friends that I’ll have to combine them into one person since nobody would believe all my conquests otherwise!”
Obama was born in Hawaii.
Obama was always born in Hawaii.
SOP would be that the author drafts a bio. This would be a part of the initial book proposal or manuscript draft that was either prepared or edited by the author and/or his/her literary agent. The publisher would then "fact check" only after the book had been acquired and put on the next "list" for publication. These sales handouts, often referred to as BLADS [book layout and design], are prepared by the marketing/publicity departments. They receive headshot and bio information from the book's editor at the publishing house and the resulting handout is precirculated to the book store reps for pre pub orders.
I can tell you from direct experience it would be rare for the marketing/publicity departments to "fact check" a bio that was handed to them by the in-house editor, UNLESS they had no such bio to begin with and they were tasked with writing such a blurb. In that case, they would consult obviously with the author or the author's agent. They wouldn't go looking on Google, for heaven's sake.
WOW... I wish when the CIA told BushII about the nuke labs in Iraq that the Democrates would have called it “fact checking error...”
You know a lying cop out of liberals from miles away...
A liberal is never wrong, even when his head is up his arse.
Always? Oh, I get it. How many times then?
It was a vague literary reference...Orwell’s “1984”.
