National Public Radio has joined Snopes and UPI among websites that have changed their archives regarding Barack Obama to bring their stories into alignment, in NPR's case eliminating a statement about the "Kenyan-born" senator "since Obama was born in Hawaii."
WND reported recently when the archives of the subsidized broadcast outlet referenced Obama's birthplace as Kenya and called him a "son of Africa."
But the records were altered shortly after the WND story was posted, and NPR ombudsman, Alicia Shepard, has explained, "I would hope they would correct factually inaccurate information since Obama was born in Hawaii."
She explained further. "I have looked into it. Someone writing a summary of a story that aired on NPR incorrectly wrote that the story said Barack Obama was born in Kenya. The story said Obama's father was from Kenya."
However, she declined to explain what documentation or evidence provided the reason for the change.
Blogger Todd Starnes also asked NPR about the issue, and was told the statement was a "typo."

He could have been born in Hawaii, Kenya, or smack dab in the middle of the Lincoln Bedroom and it wouldn't make him Constitutionally eligible. He admits his father was a Kenyan - - - that's the end of his eligibility right there.

What’s that first picture of? What was the conclusion of who might have been photoshopped out of these?
I hold the same view, but the last time I checked, the Federal Government was not obligated to comply with my opinion. The courts have not ruled on this issue to the best of my knowledge, and they are certainly behaving like they don’t want to rule on it. They will probably be content to let the politicians and the voters sort it out. One more Constitutional provision conveniently ignored.
Does anyone know if it is possible to investigate the flight manifests of airliners coming out of Kenya in 1961?
Just asking....
America, th enew home of the Iron Curtain!
If you recall, in Orwell’s 1984, the occupation of Winston Smith was to go back and change news accounts to reconcile them to current political positions of the fascist state.
He was about 30 years early, but Orwell was correct in his predictions.
“Does anyone know if it is possible to investigate the flight manifests of airliners coming out of Kenya in 1961?”
AFAIK, our conclusion is that the airlines wouldn’t let a 9 month pg Ann board nor would they allow a newborn fly. Ann’s friend Susan Blake (Botkin) said that Ann had sent her a postcard from a ship. FR is thinking The Black Star Line but that company has gone out of business so not much luck finding manifests from there. Check out:

I didn't know his father was also a US Senator, which in itself is problematic, since he was not a US citizen. :)
A typo is when you misspell a word and the mispelling is a different word. Or when you write "there" and mean "their". You don't make a typo that says "Kenyan born" when you meant "his father was Kenyan".
Then of course there are all the other stories, many from Afrika, saying that the Senator was Kenyan born, and the transcript from the Kenyan Parliment where the Minister for Lands stated that BHO Jr was "not even a native American", on March 25, 2010, less than a month ago.
All these "mistakes" sort of strain credulity way past it's elastic limit.
No real reason to keep those for so long. Entry and exit information from Immigration/Customs OTOH might still be around, since the government keeps everything forever.
Of course there would be no record of a young woman with a baby arriving in a car from Canada, if the car had US plates they'd just wave it on through, and it's only 2 1/2 to 3 hours drive from Vancouver BC to Mercer Island, WA. There might not be any record of any US Citizen re-entering the country, even on a plane or a boat. Probably would be of non-national like BHO Sr.

Thanks for the ping.
This has gone beyond ridiculous! Between this and the Kenyan government scrubbing the minutes from their website...
flight manifests can be found at Natl Archives, the microfiche of them is scattered throughout the US.
I've seen this said around here a lot in recent weeks, but I can't find anything to support it. Where are people getting this from?
Here is the transcript quoting crissy:
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you, Congressman, it seems to me back in 19 — or 2004, when I first heard him speak and I was taken with his speech, he talked about his story, Barack Obama, and he said only in this country is my story possible, where a guy comes in here, he`s an immigrant. He`s basically — he`s not an immigrant but his father was.
- Back in 2004, all sources stated that Obama was Kenyan born. It simply sounds like Crissy forgot himself momentarily. Good heads up Migraine. The flasback that Crissy was referring to clearly suggests that only in this country can an immigrant like Obama hit the big time. Oh, that’s right. In 2004, all media sources MISTAKENLY believed that Obama was born in Kenya.
More from an old Newsbusters thread:
Page: “Well, my wife certainly thinks so. She agrees with Maureen Dowd on this and about everything else. But we would talk about this at home. I’m not so sure. I think, actually, it’s a great time for a woman or a black candidate, but, but Johnny Apple may very well be right, simply because of circumstances right now. Hillary Clinton carries political baggage with her right now, and as somebody said, ‘Obama hasn’t even got a carry-on.’ Was that in your piece?”
Klein: “No. It wasn’t in mine, but it was a good line.”
Page: “Yeah, he’s, it’s a great line, absolutely.”
Matthews: “She’s got a trunk.”
Kay: “To what extent, also, does it make a difference that he is from Africa? He’s not an African-American, I think it was you said that...”
Maybe you have an Aunt that pees on the couch and talks to herself, a nephew who wears a hat with a swastika, or an uncle who doesn't bath anymore. But everyone has agreed, without open dialog, just quiet consent, that everything is normal.
Its not. We have a problem. A Kenyan president. Ignoring it is not making it go away.
