The Obama Record: The discovery of the president's false book bio claiming Kenyan birth fits an increasingly disturbing pattern. We've long described Obama as radical, but he's also deceitful.
The mix of these two traits in the Oval Office is toxic. But the Washington media are anything but alarmed, still believing as they do the mythical savior figure they created in 2008.
The other night, MSNBC's Chris Matthews argued on his "Hardball" show that Americans would be wise to re-elect Obama because he's "the candidate we know." He claimed he's a trusted brand who "is who he seems to be."
He went on to describe the president as "a fairly pragmatic progressive" and "tough defender of the country." Therefore, he argued, he's the safer choice vs. GOP foe Mitt Romney, whom Matthews warns is an unknown commodity — "Brand X" — who could turn out to be a nutty puppet of the "radical right."
Of course, Obama isn't at all who he seems to be. And judging from Obama's sinking poll numbers, this is becoming more apparent to the electorate — thanks in part to the new media's revetting of Obama after the old media's half-hearted attempt in 2008.
Voters who don't watch MSNBC are starting to see that the president's public persona is merely a hologram created by media shills like Matthews, who define his identity and ideology and redefine it when facts disrupt the carefully constructed narrative.
The latest fly in the ointment for Team Obama is a promotional bio Obama's book agent put out in 1991. The old copy, dug up last week by Breitbart.com, says he was "born in Kenya." Asked about the mistaken birthplace, the agent claimed it "was nothing more than a fact-checking error."
But that's not just any error....

"Northwestern University professor John McKnight said a desperate Obama approached him for a letter of recommendation to Harvard, because he couldn't get any of his undergrad professors to pen one due to underwhelming academics.
McKnight was one of Obama's radical Alinsky trainers and a key mentor, but not one of his professors.
The embellished bio makes the circumstances surrounding Obama's Harvard admission curiouser.
And all the more reason to demand this president do what every other modern president has done, including Democrat candidates John Kerry and Al Gore, and turn over his academic records for public review."
*******
I wish a reporter or talk show host would interview this professor McKnight to find out if the statement above is true.
If McKnight says that the story is true, then it raises questions about how Obama was admitted to Harvard Law if his college grades were just average at Columbia.
That is, did Obama tell Harvard that he was born in Kenya in order to give himself a better chance of being accepted at Harvard Law?
Actually its like this, “Obama is who we demand you to accept, or else”
This seems to be the latest narrative. That Mr. Obama wasn't actually born in Kenya but that he simply lied about it. Why should we believe this any more than the rest of the Obama story?
This literary agent hot dog needs some grilling.
“The notion that his author’s bio, which played up high the phony foreign-born status, was simply a typo is about as credible as Obama claiming he never heard his radically anti-American preacher say anything unpatriotic while sitting in his pews for over two decades. Or that he hardly knew his Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist who launched his political career from his living room. And who sat with him on the board of a few radical organizations. And who claims to have actually written the very memoir Obama and his agent began promoting in 1991.”
“Obama is a chick flick...’
No, Obama is a BAD chick flick and if I had to pick the movie, it would be Titanic.
This has to be an act on Matthews part. No one can be this stupid. It is almost as if this whole pundit thing is a theatre production where the director says, “do you want to be on the liberal side of the argument or the conservative side of the argument?”
The tingle down Chrissy's leg is the feel of urine running down it...
Does someone know whether or not this biography was run by Obama for his approval?

Read later.
All the articles on the Obama 16 year bio seem to start with a disclaimer like this that presumes a Hawaiian birth for Obama. Even Breitbart does it and it is getting a little tiring. Try as he might, Obama has not established his birth in Hawaii while he spends millions preventing others from getting access to the records that would prove his case - if he actually had one.
Maybe he let Bill Ayers handle the bio as well.
You give more details of the circumstances surrounding the Illegal and Moochelle surrendering their law licenses than I have read at any other place, and I’ve done a lot of Googling to try to learn the details. Do you have any sources and links? If so, please post them. Thanks.
We are rehashing old stuff here. I fear we are falling into a vast Team Obama distraction. Any reporter worth his salt could have written this story from 2006 forward.
Any reporter worth his salt could have covered the disgraceful (and completely illegal) Obama effort to bankroll Odinga and campaign for him in Kenya. 2,000+ dead Christians who were the direct result of this campaign are apparently not worthy of mention.
Look that up. Or work and focus like hell to get this guy out of office.
In the case of BHO, Jr. or (II) {an alias} one could easily see on the original bar app, based on subsequent revelations, was that he was clearly deficient in the three areas I mentioned. There may well be others. What is not known and should never be, is the name of the other attorney (s) who issued the original complaint that caused the bar to take any action.
Michelle's case, being a court-ordered suspension and subsequent surrender is a matter of open public record.
Chrissy was a speed writer for Jimmah Carter.
I wonder how much input Chrissy had in the creation of the CRA?
He sure needs an epiphany of his own, IMO.
“I’m wondering if the rookie Hussein falsified his college admittance forms to show he was a Kenyan just for the financial goodies. That would be fraud. “
IMHO...this is where he and Elizabeth Warren (Fauxcohontas)intersect....
