Dystel & Goderich Literary Management

April 3, 2007

BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American 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, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.

This is a link to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. It is a copy of the website of Obama's publisher (Dystel & Goderich Literary Management) dated April 3, 2007. It says that Obama was "born in Kenya."

This does not mean that Obama was born in Kenya. Instead, what it does mean is that on April 3, 2007, his publisher said that he was "born in Kenya."

In 2012, a former employee of his publisher said that this was a "fact checking error" that happened in 1991.

If this was a "fact checking error," where did this false information originate?

Why did this false information remain in place for sixteen years?

Why did it only get corrected when Obama announced that he was running for President?

I work in publishing. Our authors receive questionnaires for us so that we may write their bios, unless they have established bios. Either Barack was born in Kenya or he told people he was born in Kenya. George O’Leary was fired at Notre Dame for fabricating his resume. Doesn’t sound any different to me.

You could have a movie of Hussein's head popping out of Stanley Ann Dunham in an obvious kenyan setting and the dims would claim it was "hysterical nonsense" while the do-nothing twins of McConnell and Boehner would just look on wondering when Happy Hour begins.

You apparently think that SOMEONE should uphold their oath to Defend The Constitution, but you won't find anyone in DC.

... This does not mean that Obama was born in Kenya.

Right, he might have been born in Hawaii but lied to obtain favored foreign exchange student status. This would be a good reason for sealing all school records. Everything about Obama appears to be a fraud.

It is incomprehensible that they keep hammering on the possibility that he was born in Kenya. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

But nobody pays attention to the fact that his father NEVER was a US citizen.

Is there not one congresscritter who fully understands the meaning of being a ‘natural born citizen’ or is it just that their jobs are more important to them than the welfare of this nation?

What a bunch of numbnuts.

I think he is an allusion. What with the halos, the shiny balls and all.

Obama’s father: Overstayed his student visa, and used two differnt DOB’s on government paperwork.

Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt: Using public housing in Boston, the result of falsified paperwork.

Obama’s half brother: Found to possess multiple SS numbers....the result of falsified paperwork.

Obama as a child in Indonesia: Attended a government sponsored school, reserved for citizens....maybe not falsified paperwork, if Soetoro adopted Barry, but would make Barry inelegible to be POTUS...so the only other possibility is mom falsified paperwork.

Falsifying paperwork, in order to work the system is in Barry’s DNA.

I think he was born in Hawaii. I also think Barry lied on student aid forms and said he was from Kenya. Its something that would make mom and dad proud...and all his other deadbeat freeloading relatives. There is no way his bio page said he was from Kenya (for 16 years), without Barry’s approval. So there you have it, Barry is the FIRST birther.

Exactly. BO accused the Navy Seals that are coming out against him as being birthers. He still hasn’t shown his original BC and this bio says it all.

HA! Rip Van Winkle...

Yeah, I was wondering if something had happened since the last time this went around.

I have no idea how to find it but at various times people have posted here at FR news articles from his past referring to him as the “African-born senator from Illinois”. Several, from a variety of publications.

Which doesn’t mean he was born in Africa but does mean at one time it suited him for people to think he was born in Africa. Gave him a patina of exotic, perhaps, made him more interesting than he was.

Then when it no longer suited him to be known as “african born” all that disappears and now if you take him at his (former) word, you’re the crazy one.

No, what it means is that Obama filled out the biographic sketch stating he was born in Kenya, gave it to the publisher and approved it for publishing. Was he lying then or is he lying now? Either way, he's a liar.

Early in our search there were several. Some disappeared before we could capture or send to others. As we searched they became fewer and then only in off shore publications. Personally found three: Two in African article and one in Indonesia.

At one time there was a CSpan video/Alan Keyes. Then it too was edited out. The Way-Back machine SHOULD have a plenty of such articles.

He, along with Hillary, was on the six member Senate Committee to determine if McCain met the definition of Natural Born Citizen. That committee brought in Chertoff and all seven (including McCaskill who wants it struck from the Constitution) that the definition was being born in the US or US soil and of TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS. He agreed to the definition (hey, wow, there really is a definition, Congresscritters!) and signed off on the committee's findings. That was Senate Resolution 511 which was approved by the Senate to which he signed his name to once again. Funny how McCain was vetted but this clown wasn't, huh. Gee whiz, wonder why that slipped passed Congress in '08 and continued to swept under the rug now four years later. It couldn't be because they all were a party to treason against us and they all have skeletons they don't want brought out causing them to lose their fancy pants offices along with all the perks.

It was probably forgotten as ancient history until one of Obama's handlers found it and had an "aw sh!t" moment. They quickly tried to make it go away - but not before the older versions were cached in the Wayback Machine. BTW you're absolutely correct: the information, whether the truth or a lie, could only have come from Obama. Too bad the lapdog media won't put Obama or Carney on the spot about it.
