How can you not know that? Why are you dissing birthers if you’re not even aware that Obama and his literary agents were the first so-called birthers? Are you really that uninformed? If so, you need to apologize. You’re in no position to demean people so much more knowledgeable than yourself.

A year before the bio blurb came out there were articles about Obama being elected President of Volume of the Harvard Law Review in the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and Chicago Tribune. Those articles all said that he was born in Hawaii.
For example: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html

Literary Agent Responds to ‘Born in Kenya’ Obama Bio: ‘Nothing More Than a Fact Checking Error’

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.”
