“More than 60% think Obama was born in another country”
Message the MSM wants to send on this - “you republicans are so stooopid!”
The real message - Barack Obama has a hopeless credibility gap.
<<”More than 60% think Obama was born in a foreign country”>>
What’s forgotten is that when Obama was a younger man, trying to get his book together, His literary agent put out an intro to the new author (obama) stating that he was born in Kenya.
I don’t believe he was born in Kenya, but I do believe he lied about his origins to make him seem a little more “exotic” and “interesting” to readers who might see themselves as “global citizens.” Obama has never made any correction of that specific record. And from that original dishonest claim, the whole “birther” controversy grew.
Here’s the Snopes “urban legend” skeptic site saying the literary agent’s blurb did in fact happen:
