Perhaps. But how did it get in there in the first place? Did Obama say he was born in Kenya? Or did the agent simply think it made a more interesting bio, and Obama didn't bother correcting her?
It was a convenient error, at least until Obama set his sights on the presidency. It supported the persona he wanted to project. He knew it was to his advantage to seem unique and exotic. And his prospective publisher knew his unusual biography would help sell the book. As he said in his 2004 keynote, which was basically his introduction to the nation:
Tonight is a particular honor for me because, lets face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father -- my grandfather -- was a cook, a domestic servant to the British.
It wouldn’t be the first time that somebody confused a father’s bio with that of the son, particularly when they have the same name.

Hope the link works; if it does, forward to/pause it at the 2:19 mark and compare the side-by-side shot there. I found the resemblance compelling, but of course ymmv.
If the link didn't work just search eww-toob for Dreams From My Real Father and pause at the same point.
Sorry not getting the resemblance.
I think obama looks like Malcolm X
We can agree the person who is “claimed” to his father is not. Personally, I am not convinced Dunham is his mother.
He is, at best, Black, Red, White and Blue. Whatever else he is, he identifies himself first and foremost as Black.
Fair enough. MMV.
“Total BS!
“He was born in Kenya, adopted and became an Indonesian citizen, came to this country on an Indonesian passport and never became a naturalized citizen.
“He’s an illegal alien!!!”
We have a winner.
I, too, believe, and continue to believe that Obastard is an illegal alien.
” The United States and many other countries require an immigrant to renounce their citizenship before they are issued a Certificate of Naturalization.”
You cannot renounce your “citizenship” before being naturalized because before being naturalized one is considered a permanent resident and, therefore, not yet a citizen.
“Where is the evidence that Stanley Ann Dunham ever asked for or received Indonesian citizenship?
Where are the adoption papers? Where is the U.S. Certificate of Loss of Nationality for Barack Hussein Obama, II?”
I’ve asked myself the same.
Why is O’Bastard hiding these documents
Obama was a permanent resident alien from 1971 to 1983.
