Why Kenyan Birth Claim Was No 'Fact Checking Error'

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.

another poster said what you are attributing to me.

That's why italics or at least "quotation marks" are our friends, and keep you from looking like a plagiarist.

It's going to get uglier from here on.

obama is finished. If he's the demonrat's nominee, he'll lose. There's no way he'll be reelected, regardless of who is running against him.

In fact, I'll be surprised if he's on the ballot.

The only way they keep him is if it looks like he'll raise a LOT of money for them.

That's still possible, but obama is a floater in the toilet bowl and whoever makes obama dance has one hand ready to pull the lever and send obama on his last swirling ride down and out.

Thank you for that most excellent post!

Lots of meat to chew through with the obama standard indigestion to follow.

[onedoug]

Thanks, Y. Very curious to the point of being damning.

"Who wrote the checks for Obama’s education?"
"A LOT of possibilites lurk in THAT statement!"

Look no further than the same evil people who financed his father.
Look at the sources from post #32.

If you're wondering about where the money came from, think about this.
Look at all the financial supporters Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. had.
"In 1959, Obama Sr. received a scholarship in economics through a program organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya.
The program offered Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students.[22][23][24]
Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk,
a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.'s early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University.
Funds provided the following year by John F. Kennedy's family paid off old debts of the project and subsidized student stipends,
thereby indirectly benefiting Obama Sr. and other members of the 1959 group of scholarship holders.

Yes, it's quite clear that money wasn't a problem for the Marxists Revolutionaries.

Barack Hussein Obama II, aka "Barry Soetoro" is nothing but a Fabian Socialists puppet.

Obama’s Occidental College transcripts provides concrete evidence to annul his presidency.

Here's a link to the bumper sticker.

Because he has lips which are fuller than yours? Of course he does. His father was African. That's not what I was talking about.

You can see a little bit of Sr.'s eyes in Mark, but he doesn't have the typical Lao or East African appearance of Sr.

So why would Jr.?

[Fred Nerks]

That's LUO not LAO and Mark looks like his father - and so does zero, it's just not the SAME man.

You know it, so stop lying.

[luvbach1]

..."look, he was born in Hawaii, so can we please talk about something else".

As bad as his ineligibility for the presidency is, even worse is the complicit lying that enabled, and continues to enable, this unprecedented, egregious fraud.

[samtheman]

I agree. As bad as it is to have an illegal president (and one who hate us and our country) what’s worse is the institutional blindness of the media, political, legislative and judicial segments of our civilization. The emporer has no clothes but armies of PC sycophants of all political persuasions obediently see him dressed in the most fashionable garb of the day.

It is an ongoing nightmare. It makes me willing to accept Romney. He may be a RINO puke, but at least he’s a f*ing American!

[dandiegirl]

Romney will pull a McCain and will never talk about the lying BO POS. However, a Super Pac could do a fabulous ad putting all the lies starting with his birthplace together to run daily in every state.

[dandiegirl]

Fortunately for BO everyone that knows anything about his past-familywise-are all dead. The grandmother death was really strange.

[Flotsam_Jetsome]

"If we do not demand that a potential President (let alone someone who has already been elected to that Office with dubious credentials) meet the requirements of our Constitution, then it stands to reason that whoever occupies that Office is going to defy, rather than comply with what that Document states, and to it’s meaning.

And that is exactly what we have been witnessing since 20 January 2009."

THIS.

That is a very astute observation, and one that I've made a number of times on this forum. If the guy knows he's ineligible, and he knows that lots of people who could do something about it also know that he's ineligible and yet do nothing about it, he has carte blanche to do pretty much any unconstitutional thing he's of a mind to, and no one will dare stop him.

Truly a MAD doctrine.

We don't know anything for certain about who's who's father, and won't unless and until more evidence comes out.

Your photos don't provide any compelling evidence that Mark is more Barack Sr.'s son than Barack II is. They could be father and son, but there's no smoking gun there, no obvious indication that they would have to be, or that they were especially likely to be.

I don't know what your theory is, but if it's the Malcolm X one, it's obviously wrong, and insulting to the intelligence in so many ways.

First, cross-racial identifications are always tricky. People fixate on the obvious similarities between people of a different race and don't see the subtler differences.

Second, people are stupefied by the way that one picture of a head of a certain shape and size taken from a certain angle can be morphed into another picture of a head of a similar shape and size taken from the same angle. It's like cats captivated by shiny objects. They aren't examining other likenesses of the two men.

Third, of course a mixed race child may resemble other mixed race people more than the parent of one race or the other. The particular racial characteristics get lost in the mixed. You could as well say that Obama couldn't be Stanley Ann's child because he didn't look much like her.

Fourth, how does an East Coast African-American religious-separatist leader and a White Seattle school girl get together? And why? Surely each of them had more likely and appealing prospects closer to home. People are fixating on Malcolm because he's a well known figure and Obama's imitated him to a degree and letting common sense and probability go out the window.

If you've got some other theory, good for you, but don't give support to a particularly silly one.

[Mr. K]

look at the pictures, dude- HE looks JUST LIKE Malcolm X

I put a bunch of pictures up on-screen of X and asked my daughters who it was- all three of them said “Obama” (they dont know who Malcolm X is- I wanted a fresh set of eyes)

They see it, I see it, don’t you?

[exnavy]

Gee, maybe Burlap Hessian Yomama may have actually been born in ... Kenya? Who knew?

[JoeFromSidney]

For each book I've published, biographical information came from me, and was checked by me for accuracy. Dystel and Goderich is lying, to cover up another lie.

If D&G were the only literary agency left on Earth, I would not deal with them. If they'll lie FOR a client, I can't trust them not to lie TO a client.

[South Dakota]

I’m sorry beaversmom but i disagree.

Malcom x is obama’s father.

I checked out the old pictures of X on a web page dedicated to him and one picture, since removed, was a dead ringer for obama
