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.

I’m led to understand that Toot was a no-nonsense gal, who in her sunset days would not so blithely have countenanced a wholesale Barry denial-of-himself (and -her) among his anti-capitalist beginnings with their Marxist and anarchist/terrorist friends.
Of course her untimely death a few days before the election—apparently hanging on for several days before Barry would eventually come to visit her—before she could be interviewed on such subjects. OTOH, was she truly never interviewed in the 90’s as Barack began his meteoric rise? Has no budding Pulitzer winner in the MSM not dug up such interviews, perhaps among those others wearing (figurative?) cement galoshes at the bottom of the Chicago River.
Then again, death is rarely blithe.

“We KNOW Obama’s eligibility documents for the 2008 Indiana Primary were forged. People are currently under indictment for that”.
“WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN FORGED”?

“The case raises the possibility that the president’s campaign and that of Clinton’s, could have been legally challenged in Indiana if the alleged forgeries were discovered during the race”.
“Carruthers said Ramsey County is still investigating all the names and has asked that more investigators be hired to complete the process. “So far we have charged 28 people with felonies, have 17 more under review and have 182 cases still open,” he said. “And there is a good chance we may match or even exceed their numbers.”
Democrats who witnessed fraud in 2008 nationwide produced the film documenting organized fraud intended to steal the election for Barrack Obama;

‘It is clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race’. This sounds like a political pigeon hole that Obama and his enablers foster. I hope this is not a game that is being played on Akin.
