I’m going to let you figure it out. All I’m doing now is putting information on the record.
But thanks for asking.
Obama started bragging, alternately, about his African and Indonesian birth in elementary school. He kept it up in college, resulting in a deal to write a book that began with his Kenyan birth. He accepted both a 6 figure and a 5 figure advance to write this book. It was only when Obama had choomed away both advances that Michelle gathered up all the notes and dumped them on Ayers.
This is not the history of a person selected at an early age to be a Manchurian candudate. It’s the stupid behavior of a pothead. Yes, things turned around for him after Ayers wrote Dreams. But Dystel and Goderich still listed Obama on their website as born in Kenya. That only changed when people finally decided there might be a presidential run in Obama’s future.
Thanks for “just the facts” - much appreciated. Speculative ideas about what people “would” have done or “would not have done” due to various purported or imagined motivations may be interesting to some, but are not helpful in finding out the facts.
