Shocker! Obama was still ‘Kenyan-born’ in 2007
WND ^ | MAY 18, 2012 | Drew Zahn

While some quickly dismissed as an anomaly yesterday’s explosive revelation that Barack Obama’s former literary agency billed him as “born in Kenya” back in 1991 in connection with a book he never wrote, WND has discovered much later published references – some dated as recently as 2007 – used to promote his highly touted book “Dreams from My Father.”

As WND reported, Breitbart News originally found a brochure from two decades ago in which literary agency Acton & Dystel promoted Obama as the author of the never-produced “Journeys in Black and White” by declaring Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Twelve years later, however, the Dystel of Acton & Dystel was busy promoting Obama’s new book, “Dreams from My Father,” and still touting the author as “born in Kenya.”

Through the Internet archive Wayback Machine, WND found an August 2003 listing of Dystel & Goderich’s author bios, including the following: “Barack Obama was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii and Chicago. His first book is ‘Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.”

So, he is not qualified to be the President of US? So, whats the hold up with his resignation?
How does the Military (which he commands) or the Federal Government in General or the Citizens recognise him as President?

Yes, he was Kenyan-born, but time to get over it because nothing whatsoever will ever be done about his usurpation of the presidency.

I’ve posed the same question to an election-strategy expert (that would be me) and the best explanation that he (that would be me) can give is that, since McCain was born in the Canal Zone, he (that would be McCain) realized that raising the question would lead to a counter-argument that he also was not a natural-born citizen.

My election-strategy expert has also posed the question as to why the Clinton’s did not run with this story - you know that they had to have uncovered it. What does Obama have on the Clinton’s? Perhaps he knows what Sandy Berger really extracted from the National Archives? There’s so many possibilities

2) They are the only nation that does not believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

I think the majority of people in this nation do believe "the one" was born in Kenya, and not just the "birthers." Obama supporters just don't give a damn whether he was born in Kenya or not.

And does it matter if he was a foreignor? Why is it so important anyways?

You may answer: US Consitution.

Next question: What do these same Obama supporters think of the US Constitution?

You see? They have succeeded showing that the Constitution no longer matters.

In Dreams from My Father published in 1995 he says he was born in Hawaii.

I guess by that time he had started to lie about it. He had his eye on the prize.

Exactly. I don't get the argument over this, particularly in this thread. Guy wrote a book in 1995 saying he was born in Hawaii. If, in 2007, the publisher is still carrying an old blurb regarding that book, and the blurb says that he was born in Kenya, then the blurb is obviously an i>error. It almost proves that the damn blurb was not proofread.

Exactly? Then show us what page does Obummer state he was born in Hawaii in “Dreams from My Father,” and put up the proof.

I don’t know where he was born, I do know where he belongs.

Not really born in Kenya? Just a decade-and-a-half-long error.. common in publishing happens all the time.

Now about another error (two down and 492,682 to go).

Another (likely) MSM denial: Bill Ayers' mother was to blame for the false information of the Ayers family's Obama connection. Thomas and Mary Ayers anticipated the issue of them knowing a future controversial president and alerted son Bill back in the mid-1990s that Mary Ayers misspoke when she said foreign, she meant to say help "for him" referring to a young black man who the Ayers encouraged to enter college. The hoodie-wearing young man, who the Ayers believe may have been Obama, was caught trying to break into their home.

Plagiarizing ME from before:

In view of the, by now, favored status that minorities enjoy in American life, I am certain that the ‘foreign-born’ feature of “O’s” personality was intentionally and very proudly publicized. It was played for all it was worth as a definite and absolute edge against political rivals. Given America’s institutionalized hysteria in favor of political correctness, his rivals would find this ‘foreign-born’ factor an insurmountable obstacle,

It only became a problem when the ‘candidate’ (and finally the office holder) succeeded beyond all initial expectations.

Once again, the Liberal pattern of assuming the American public is gullible and apathetic enough to ignore and possibly altogether overlook the eligibility issue as relating to a Presidential nomination ... they forged ahead AS IF the qualifier was incidental.

With the criminal complicity of the MSM and general dread Americans are conditioned to feel about the charge of ‘intolerant’ (no matter how groundless), further success was assured!

Or to force a change in candidates?

...from a practical standpoint, I believe the Dem's are stuck w/ Obama as their candidate. Blacks would simply would not show up to vote if Hillary was put in, endangering every down-ticket Dem relying on more than 8% black support.

I’ve never read O’Dumbo’s book but you bring up a really good point.

So even in 1995 when the book was published, it doesn’t mention EXACTLY where he was born?

You can likely take it to the bank that Obama doesn't say he was born in Hawaii anywhere in that book. I also haven't read it. However, logical induction tells that it does not. After 4 year of arguing with legions of OBots, and I've read many excerpts and heard many excerpts, of that book tells us it is not there.

The Obots and Fogbums would have long ago pointed that out to us. And in the last 24 hours, if Obama did state he was born in Hawaii in the book, the Oboma crowd would have been screaming it all over the Web and showing you what page and paragraph it is written on. Breitbart.com.com tried more than once to get the publisher to comment on the booklet before they went public. The Obama publisher ignored Breitbart. If it was written in the book, it would have been logical for the publisher to say so by answering Breitbart, which would have given some credence to their now lame excuse after the fact that it was a “literary error” before this became public.

As Sherlock Holmes said to sidekick Dr. Watson, "Elementary my dear Watson"... in the movies.
