Obama’s Lit Agency Used 'Born in Kenya' Bio Until 2007 [New article - not a duplicate]
breitbart.com ^ | May 17, 2012 | Ben Shapiro

According to archive.org, a website that caches websites on a regular basis, the Dystel.com website – the official website for Dystel & Goderich, Obama’s literary agents – was using the Barack Obama “born in Kenya” language until April 2007, just two months after then-Senator Obama declared his campaign for the presidency.

Archive.org shows that the Dystel website used the following biography for Obama as of 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."

Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007.

By April 21, 2007, the Obama bio had been changed to state that Obama was born in Hawaii:

"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 Hawaii 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."

Obama had already been a national figure for three years, since the Democratic National Convention in 2004, by the time the biography was changed; he had been a sitting Senator for over two years.

And especially when the entry had been updated and still included the Kenyan birth in it.

This proves “someone” wanted him in the WH very badly. And lots of people, like mccain, knew it was going to happen.

And if it looks like he's going to lose, those very same people are going to want him out of the WH very badly.

I don’t understand why the dems don’t let some of these charges stick and get rid of him and save their party. Really strange, the protect at all costs mentality the left has over BO. Very weird. Do they really threaten everyone to keep them in line?

Truly is amazing how they were lucky enough to have something like Trayvon to gin up the black radicals before this came out.

Just keep telling yourselves IT”S ALL JUST A COINCIDENCE.

Since the spin machine is desperately trying to sell the “Hey, it was just an isolated mistake made in 1991!” excuse, maybe this article ought to be promoted to Breaking News to counter their ongoing efforts.

I guess the brokered convention will be on the Democrat side then.

“Plugs” is already ill. I just hope his condition doesn’t worsen to terminally stupid. I like him as “challenged stupid”. He’s just so amusing.

It’s too bad conservatives can’t understand the virtue of loyalty. Dems will at least dance with the horse they rode in on, or something like that.

Bill and Hillary know where the bodies are buried....looks like it’s “Go Time” for them.

It may well be that King Barry has similar information. Stalemate.

One Secratary of State or one state legislature requiring a birth certificate in order to authorize the November ballot could upend the whole Democratic party.
