A short bio which is one of 90 such bios in a pamphlet sent only fo some publishing companies is hardly "prominently marketed." But then to you, the words "born in Kenya" are like blazing, flashing lights obscuring any other context or consideration.
but they never asked him if this was true.
It seems not, as we all can reasonably figure Obama would have told fhe agency the same thing he told the Times, Post and Tribune -- that he was born in Hawaii.
They never told him they were advertising him this way.
Perhaps focusing on getting the book written and published took precedence. And perhaps this little bio blurb didn't have the monimental significance you're desperately trying to give it.
They never discussed the book with him that was hooked with the ‘born in Kenya’ opening line,
The book as a whole no doubt got discussed, and the absence of any "born in Kenya" statement in the book as actually written suggests that any "born in Kenya" approach which was pitched was tossed out.
Newsflash to Fantasywriter!! The year before the agency drafted this bio blurb, Obama was the subject of national media reports which reported he was born in Hawaii!! I'll bet you didn't know this. (Maybe it's less about crow here and more like ostritch.)
Now you’re getting surly. It makes you sound desperate.
The idea that the agency would dare to advertise Obama as Kenyan born without his permission, much less without his knowledge, is beyond absurd. The only way you can put forth such a claim is by forgetting you’re not posting on Fogbow. In the real world agents don’t make up fake countries of birth for their clients. They don’t describe a Journey that begins in Kenya and ends in Harvard without their client’s complicity. The client is, after all, the one who has been advanced money to write this Journey.
The more you argue that it all happened without pure, honest, innocent Obama’s knowledge the dumber you sound. The surlier you get, the more desperate you sound. Lets see how far you can go in either direction. You’re doing great so far.
PS: You keep confusing Journeys with Dreams. It makes you sound stupid.
