I happen to be listening to a radio show with Keyes as a guest. He was asked about Obama admitting He wast a natural born citizen and Keyes HIMSELF said he doesn’t remember that happening. He wished it did but he isn’t going to make things up

I read the transcripts of two of their debates and that isn’t in there anywhere.

It's funny to watch people cling to this as true, rather than simply admit that it never happened.

When the rumor was originally circulated back in November 2008, the claim was that it had taken place during a regular debate, and that video existed of it. Just a few months back, in his informercial, Gary Kreep claimed that there was tape of this.

Of course, eventually people watched the footage and read the transcripts, and saw that it wasn't there. Keyes' own people said it didn't happen. So did the rumor die for lack of evidence?

No, the rumor just changed. Instead of taking place during the debate and being broadcast, some people started claiming that it was edited out of the broadcast. (Considering that political debates are often live, and never edited for content, that's odd.)

But of course, that created problems too. Because the transcript shouldn't be edited, and it's not in any transcript. So then some people started claiming that it didn't happen during the debate at all, but offstage sometime after the debate. Which, of course, runs directly counter to the folks who insist they saw it on TV.

So now you have some people claiming they saw it broadcasted, some people claiming it was edited, and some people claiming it happened out of sight. And the only evidence any of them have is their own memories; and given that people also claim to have witnessed Obama say he wanted to change the National Anthem to a Coke jingle (which originated in a satire column), that's some awfully weak evidence.

But they refuse to simply concede that it never took place. So Kreep says it on TV, and Pidgeon puts it in his press release, and they both look like fools.

Are you referring to this admission on his website that he was born a citizen of Kenya:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children. Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”
