Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this? By Tim Stanley US politics Last updated: May 18th, 2012 16 Comments Comment on this article

Conservatives claim that Obama manipulated his Kenyan roots to gain attention Whatever you think of Breitbart.com’s punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart’s revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they revealed tomorrow that he’d had his own cross-dressing-themed sitcom on primetime TV in the 1980s, I wouldn’t be surprised. The latest find is a fascinating inversion of the birther conspiracy. Breitbart.com has discovered that in 1991 Barack Obama’s literary agent (who also represented New Kids on the Block) published a booklet that included a biography of the future President. The audience was “business colleagues” in the publishing industry and it was designed to promote Obama’s anticipated first book (later abandoned) called Journeys in Black and White. Here’s how it describes the author’s origins. Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation.

Nothing was missed. They did their job and covered-up for their candidate and dismissed the Constitution. This is where their heart lies.

The agent now says it was her mistake and Obama never told her that.

Yet that “mistake” started in 1991 and continued on until 2007 when Obama decided to run for President. So for 16 years it was never “corrected” even though Obama had to know, it was printed on his book publishers promos all that time...

Right... We’re that stupid...

From ABC News OTUS site (whatever that is, linked on Drudge):

"Obama's former literary agency misidentified his birthplace as Kenya while trying to promote the then-Harvard Law grad as an author in 1991."

Oooopsy, our bad, misidentified. Never happened, nowhere near the crime scene, nothing to see here MOVE ALONG.

How did Pelosi, Reed, McCain and the GOP congresscritters miss this?

And how is it that these idividuals and Romney still ignore that fact?

There can little doubt that the reason we are not allowed to see DumBO’s college records, is that he committed fraud on his college admission as a foreign student from Indonesia or Kenya. It is likely he stated he was born in Kenya.

They are not only fully aware, they are the enablers, McCain himself being foreign born helped on the ballot by Zero and Hillary. Ruling class elites could care less about pesky Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. They are all traitors, the Republic has been usurped. Prepare for war.

The MSM ‘missed’ this because democrats who feed the New York Times their tips, didn’t ‘feed’ them negative stuff on Obama... There’s no other explanation that makes sense.

So we’re supposed to believe his literary agent made up out of thin air that obama was born in Kenya.

The least damning interpretation for Obama is that he lied about being born in kenya to embellish his “exotic” appeal.

The most damning interpretation is that he was telling the truth then and has been lying ever since about being born in Hawaii.

Of course, either way he’s a liar.

If George Bush had stuff like this out there about him - born in a foreign country etc... and hadn't corrected it for years - the Washington Post would have ignored it, right?

I wonder what Obama put on his college applications? Sounds like he either lied then or is lying now.

“Obama this” and “Obama that”

What’s utterly laughable is the press hacks, kool-aid dispensing idiots are using a name without any verification.

What is the legal name for Zero?

It’s unknown.

He’s used many names/variations. Barack Obama, Barak Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Dunham, Steve Dunham, Soebarkah, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama...

That pretty house in Hyde Park, Chicago on Greenwood Ave doesn’t have his media name on it. It’s in the name of Harrison J. Bounel. It doesn’t have Zero’s name on it because Zero is undocumented. Zero has no credentials. Hence phony Selective Service, phony Social Security number, etc.

He’s a foreign born illegal alien. American mommy wasn’t old enough to transfer citizenship being only 18, and Section 301 (a)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was the relevant citizenship law at the time of Zero’s birth.

Requirement was that the parent had to have been physically present in U.S. at least 19 years old to confer citizenship. Stanley Ann Dunham was born Nov 29, 1942 and was 18.

How did they miss this and every other aspect of Dear Leader's life which we know NOTHING about?

That's a no brainer:

These are put on horses to keep them from being distracted:

th

These are put on INTENTIONALLY (themselves) by the majority of the FAR LEFT, BIASED, CORRUPT, In-the-tank-for Dear Leader, Lame Stream Media so as to not have concern themselves with having to look into the Community Agitators background and still keep their "conscience" (not that Libs have one) clear:

“They” knew-—and they hid it. Two DIFFERENT Certificates of Nomination went out, thanks to Pelosi and Germond.
Time for this to finally bite Pelosi in the botoxed butt.

“The “Official Certification of Nomination” that was presented by the DNC in all fifty states for the 2008 Presidential election, in which Barack Hussein Obama became the new President of the United States, was almost identical, and it too was singed by Chair of the DNC Convention and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, DNC Secretary Alice Travis Germond and Notary of Public Shalifa A. Williamson, dated August 28, 2008.”
