“A book publisher came out three days ago and said that in his written synopsis of his book,” Trump went on, “he said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. His mother never spent a day in the hospital.”
“That’s what he told the literary agent,” Trump insisted. “That’s the way life works… He didn’t know he was running for president, so he told the truth. The literary agent wrote down what he said… He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia… Now they’re saying it was a mistake. Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, ‘Oh, I mean Hawaii.’ Give me a break.”

I’m like Rush, although I don’t pay the people who listen to the garbage and let me know what’s out there. I don’t think I could stand listening to all the garbage myself. I can’t even listen to most the “conservatives”. There’s something about disinformation and stupidity that’s a big turn-off for me.

Duckworth working to win
By Will Hoover
CORRECTION: A correction on this story was published on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2006: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. A Page One story last Sunday contained incorrect information about his birthplace.
Looks like the "truth" squad got to it. I wonder if Tammy Duckworth was also corrected about her recollection?
So if he has evidence why say “he’ll release it soon”, why not right now, this minute?
Trump is a publicity whore. I’m sorry, I know people will not like me saying that but it’s true. He stays silent about everything when his show is on the air, and as soon as his show is done, here he comes again.
He likes the attention. Nothing more, nothing less. He likely is right about this, but he has no evidence.
I remember reading that article here on Freerepublic but I don’t remember the source.
That is indeed the bottom line and must be what this election is about.
The time to use Obama's birth certificate and Rev Wright was before he was elected President and after that between election cycles.
If he is somehow elected again you can bet the Birther in me will be back.
Great stuff Jeff! Needs to be tweeted!
Hwy BZ, you seem to be the Freeper who would know.
It amazes me that so many reporters/media types around the world make the very same mistake. I mean all BS aside, what are the odds that they’d ALL get his birthplace wrong and later have to correct them once he decided to run?
Has anyone ever counted them all? It seems like dozens of these things are/were out there and in all the stuff I’ve read on it, I’ve never seen an article on any conservative site do an actual count. That would make an interesting article. Also, whether they were true or not doesn’t matter as much (for this purpose) as how so many ‘professionals’ got it wrong with this one guy, when nothing even close has ever happened in the history of journalism.

Excellent post, Jeff. At this point, I’m kind of giving up hope. Someday, however, the truth will be known.
I’m pinging butterdezillion because I know she (he?) has been on the forefront of this issue.
I still shake my head that the U.S. elected a self-professed Muslim after 9/11.
That’s excellent, JeffHead.
I looks to me like he went to Punahou as Barry Obama...and under his name, before someone tried to wipe it out, was written 'From Kenya'.
Proves nothing about where he really came from, 'from Kenya' just conveniently ties him to the kenyan student who wasn't his father.
I wonder what the social or financial benefit would have been for him to claim he was born in Kenya?

Foreign student preference. It got him into Harvard and Columbia.
they’ll have to contend with Trump’s money working against him.

Has Trump given anything to the Romney Campaign? Does he finance a Super Pac? He could match Bill Maher’s $Million that Maher gave Obama, and not blink an eye. But, I think Trump is probably “tight” with his money.
Obama’s slicker than a greased pig. Donald is doing good things, IMO.
The Clintons could be behind any dump Obama stuff.

Bill wants to see Obama dumped and Hillary in the Oval Office. If they’re gonna make it happen, they better move quickly. The Dem Convention is in 3 1/2 months.
1. He was born in Kenya and used U.S. opportunities to get an education here.
2. He was born in Hawaii. He claimed to be a foreign student to get a free ride through college.
3. By his own self-incrimination, "on drugs and rarely went to high school his last two years" --> How did he get into any college in the first place ?
