Obama 'Born in Kenya' Booklet Raises Questions
Yahoo News ^ | May18, 2012 | Mark Whittington

Posted on 05/20/2012 4:28:14 PM PDT by lbryce

A 1991 information booklet printed by Barack Obama's then literary agent that states that he "--was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii" has surfaced, according to Big Government. This has lit a torch under the birther movement.

To reiterate before we go further, the booklet in no way "proves" the theory that President Obama was born in Kenya, is therefore not a natural born citizen, and therefore not legally president. He was born in Hawaii, therefore a natural born citizen, therefore the constitutionally elected president.

But then the question arises, why suggest that the young Barack Obama, then an aspiring author, was born in Kenya when he was not? Hot Air suggests that the motivation was to embellish Obama's biography to make him more interesting. One of Obama's former agents claims that the listing was the result of a fact-checking error and that the biographical data was not provided by Obama himself. Big Government maintains that this error persisted at least until 2007, when Obama was a United States senator and candidate for president of the United States.

Obama is not the first public figure to have had his biography goosed up, even though at the time the object was to sell a book that he was working on at the time and not get him elected to public office. The fact that the embellishment has surfaced to bite the president over 20 years later is an example of what happens when one cannot keep lies straight.

Obama did not provide his biographical information to his then literary agent, then who did? Why was the false information not corrected for 16 years, by which time the impression that Obama was born overseas would be an impediment to his being elected president?

Either Obama was lying back then - or he’s lying now. The MSM will run interference for him for which ever time he lied... (creepy little suck-ups that they are...)

Being born in Hawaii does not make one a Natural Born Citizen,despite the media’s ignorance in saying it does.

“Agreed - This publisher’s description does NOT prove Obama was born in Kenya”
_______________________________________

Yes, it does not prove that he was born in Kenya, but it has not yet been proven that he was born in Hawaii.
It can not be settled until document experts can see the birth certificate, or records are released from Kapiolani.

If Obama was born in Hawaii, what is in it for him to keep the mystery going?

Whereever he was spawned, Obama is a fraud, a liar extraordiare. If he has a scintilla of integrity, he will give the LBJ speech and fade away.

The only thing the booklet proves beyond any doubt is that Soetoro screwed some innocent little brown boy or girl out of a racial set aside that was rightfully theirs.

What a country we live in, eh?

“Obama was born in Hawaii. He created and promoted the Kenya fiction to get himself into college and further his career. We won’t see the school docs because they show he lied.”

Bingo. Here is the thing. They now had 3 plus years to forge those documents. They are going to play that card soon.

“Show me the birth certificate and I’ll believe you. “

Show me film of his mother in labor in a kenyan hut and obama voters still won’t care. Nobody is going to fall on their sword to attempt to remove him even if you get that film because of the implicit threat of mass racial violence.

Stick to something more plausible like he was puffing up his resume to sell a book and you will get a lot of traction. But the born in kenya stuff is a wild goose chase. Enjoy your hobby.

exactly! what’s in it for the commie to keep hiding the hawaii thing. He has spent millions not bringing it out. Which hospital? The breitbart exposure of the kenyan thing has the commie scurrying. I believe many more crumbs will be falling out to the world now. Sheriff Arpaio has another announcement early june, professor kengor has a book coming early july, breitbarts say they have a ton more, and peeps have awakened to the kenyan fraud.

The only thing that is becoming more and more clear every day is that everything everyone thinks they know about Obama’s origin and past is based mostly on lies. Journalistic ethics are a thing of the past. The news media promotes an agenda; if a story doesn't fit the agenda it is either ignored or distorted until it does.

Typical liberal Elizabeth Warrenism.

Back in the day when I was in college, it was the fashion for liberal profs on campus to sponsor third world students. They would bring them to school, get them admitted, and then and parade them around. And they were soooooooo exotic and brilliant! There was an African and a couple a Central Americans. Peruvians I think. Mexicans would have been too pedestrian. One of my English professors had a Palestinian girl that he kept as a pet. She used to walk around with one of those stupid checkered head scarves and wore PLO T shirts. We didn't have very many Jews and I doubt there was an Israeli within a days drive. It was pretty pathetic. For all I know her name was Lisa and she came from Akron, OH. Anyway, I always suspected this was the angle Zero was playing. Even though Harvard is full of douche bags, it's still damn hard to get in to. Barry from Hawaii with a B- GPA and JV grade hoop skills was never going to cut it. But Barak from Kenya? Now, that's the ticket!

I think BO senior had documents from Kenya. Around 1971 BO senior made the trip to Hawaii to get Jr. out of Indonesia.
