Why Kenyan Birth Claim Was No 'Fact Checking Error'
American Thinker ^ | MAY 18, 2012 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 05/18/2012 11:33:25 PM PDT by RobinMasters

No sooner did the literary agency brochure in which Barack Obama was said to be Kenyan-born surface than the media went to work to deep-six it.

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me - an agency assistant at the time," Miriam Goderich, now a named partner in the literary agency, Dystel & Goderich, wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News, which was then picked up ABC News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

This confession rings false to the point of preposterous for any number of reasons. Let us start with the obvious. At the time, 1991, the Acton & Dystel agency listed 90 clients, Obama among its least significant. How likely is it that Goderich would have remembered enough about a 1991 "error" to know it was hers, especially since it went uncorrected through several revisions until changed in 2007? To make this claim credible, there would have to be an existing paper trail leading to an Obama submission in which he lists an Hawaiian birth. I am confident that there is no such submission.

Limbaugh has said on many occasions that this regime is doing things to destroy this country that many people can not get their heads wrapped around.
I am thinking that these otherwise very intuitive people Levine and Limbaugh are just having a really hard time even conceiving of such deception, it is even beyond what they think is possible, (which I feel is the case with many people).

Barack Hussein Obama II wrote that brief biography himself,
and everyone knows it.


And his college admissions applications will show him to have indicated that he was a foreign born student...

Meet Mark Obama:

He's Barack Sr.'s other mixed race son. Notice that he doesn't look much like Barack Sr. either. Pronounced racial characteristics don't carry over when people of different races intermarry. If his mother had blond hair and blue eyes the child wouldn't have those either. I'm not saying that Sr. and Jr. are definitely father and son, but they could be.

Go to totallylookslike.com. You'll find plenty of pictures of celebrities who's pictures can be morphed or mashed or smoshed together to produce animated gifs or jifs that somebody will be sure proves that they are related.

To follow up on that, I don’t see a large portion of FReepers beating up on these conservative icons because they aren’t on board.

I, too, am in disagreement over usconservative’s position because it diminishes the import of the Constitution. Said and done. Leave it at that and let’s stop beating each other up over it. Such activity just causes more animosity and division in our ranks (and it’s the animosity I’m more concerned with).

IOW, he’s said his piece, we disagree. Stop including him in the “to” line and he’ll stop responding (which, I am certain is out of politeness).

B.O.A.C. to Vancouver and then crossing the border into Seattle makes complete sense, that’s why the feint on the false Hawaiian birth by Obamaites.

“On a recent show, maybe Friday (but definitely after this claim of Kenyan birth was released), Rush stated in no uncertain terms that he believed that Obama was born in Hawaii. “

Yeah! Why do Rush, Levin, Coulter, etc. defend Obama’s eligibility with such a passionate allegiance? For Rush to say that it was “conventional wisdom” that Obama was born in Hawaii and then spin some convoluted reason for the “born in Kenya” literary bio, was very strange to say the least.

Obama made choices in his life and sought out mentors (FMD, Bill Ayers, other radicals, J. Wright etc).

FMD initiated the 0h0m0 that we know today, a Communist fagg0t! That's the worst combo I could think of to be the most powerful "man" in the world!

In 0h0m0's case, I use the word "man" loosely.

It was so easy to manipulate a week personality like an animal that understand a reward system by the other communist terrorists that indoctrinated 0b0z0. Tell him to do this and that and reward him through his rear-end!

At last, 0h0m0 came out of the closet and admitted what he really is, the greatest enhancement in a Democrat's resume, ever!

After coming out of the closet, 0h0m0 can display the occasional smile that features folding his bottom lip behind his upper lip, permanently!

My guess is there are a lot of young people with time on their hands due to no jobs. College archives can now be accessed through students computer links. There must be at least one conservative on Haaaavaaaard campus. Find him and you find the source....(wink)

As to the Dunham family involved in the CIA only if CIA stood for Ciss Ignoramus's Azz.

When our government recognizes that BO is no longer an “employee” then he will be escorted from the building.

Lack of tangible proof. We have seen articles. We have been told stories (usually second hand or hearsay) We have circumstantial actions (faux documents etc) BUT none of us, MSM included, has that smoking gun or blue dress.....Closest we've got so far is a blue pamphlet.

BO sitting back in his lounge chair saying "So I lie....prove it!"

This will all come out in his ‘legacy’.

By that time it will not matter how, what, or who he is.

He and his ‘handlers’ will be bragging about who they are, what they did and how easy is was to do it.

I dunno, Rush is a master at beating the media at their own game:

If Rush goes along with the conventional wisdom that barryo was born in Hawaii, he escapes the instant "birther label. The media knows that when they can apply the birther label everything else that was said, the real subject matter becomes moot.

Rush is concentrating on the fact obama has not and will not release his records, that is where so much info on obama could really shine the light on the whole truth and it cannot be escaped or impugned with a "birther" lable.

And at the same time he is still letting the news out to his listeners that there are really valid questions as evidenced by this latest revelation, yet keeping the pressure on the media and obama to release his records at the same time.

Rush is not stupid, I think he has a strategy in this whole thing and knows he has to be careful how he plays this.

This is a dangerous game with incalculable repercussions, I think he know it too.

Just my $.02.

To be a natural born US citizen, both your parents DO NOT have to be natural born US citizens themselves.

No, but they have to be citizens. (naturalized or natural born).

If BHO Sr. is his daddy, BHO Sr. was a Kenyan, never a US citizen, and certainly not at the time of his birth.

Lack of tangible proof.

With a D0J headed by a h00d, you're right.

The biggest tangible proof for all to see IS the ongoing destruction of the Republic. That's the job of the fifth column MSM to investigate, expose and demand the impeachment of emper0r 0b0z0.

By fomenting violence to keep 0h0m0 in power, the MSM earns the wrath of Americans and should suffer MORE than we will, physically, that is.

If we have to end a civil war forced on us, the MSM and the communists should be taught a lesson they won't forget for the next 235 years!

If we don't, then an enslaved population is our fair share, quoting our Dear Reader!
