....the literary agent made a mistake *GASP*
What literary agents do is sell their clients. But those clients are the ones that give the information to the literary agents and have final decision on how they are being sold. There is no way that literary agent could have pulled 'Kenya' out of the air. It came from Obama.
But let's say he lied to the litarary agent and for some odd reason wanted to spread the rumor he was born in Kenya....so what???
You are kidding, right? Telling lies about himself in order to try to make more $$ off people?
Sure .. so what ... that makes him just like every other politician.
So much for his walking on water, eh?
I love the lengths you guys reach for...you can't buy this kind of comedy.
One question...in your mind...is there any way possible that this is a mistake made by the author of the bio???

If it were published once in 1980, yes, that's certainly a possibility. See my post on it being a coincidence.
But the publicist kept updating the bio and even as late as 2007 referred to the senator from IL as being born in Kenya.
So no, 27 years of updates, this "mistake" would have been caught.
Corrected by who?
Do you think Obama looks at every single bio ever written about him?
It's quite possible this literary agent honestly thought Obama was born in Kenya. Since everyone is speculating...why not join into the non-sense. Perhaps Obama never mentioned his birth place to this person...only where he grew up as a child...and from that the agent made an assumption. OR...maybe the agent just honestly thought they heard Obama say he was born in Kenya.
But no...no....that isn't a possibility...this is 100% absolute proof of a cover up.
The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.
Wouldn't he have to approve something like this?

Absolutely. A young author is going to go over this sort of thing with a fine tooth comb, over and over and over it. Believe me. I've been there personally. There is no way that little bio wasn't gone over with the attention given to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty . . . by a young guy nursemaiding his first book.
Back in 1991 I'm sure he did. For he was still an ever humble Law Student back then. Articles written about him as the First Black Pres. of HLR in the NYT and other papers across the land. Hell, know is tendency towards Narcissism, he probably plastered his apt. with said articles and bios.
They got it right apparently and yet this agent perpetuated a fable for decades. To sell books? To sell Obama?

Ladies and Gentleman...we have another certified psychic...he knows exactly what Obama would have done over 20 years ago...he knows the exact situation and knows there is "no way" Obama didn't treat a small insignicant bio like it was the bible.
I just love how you guys just "know" things.

Oh don't kid yourself...it's a birther issue.
Of course...we all know the birther issue has deeper reasons...reasons where logic is abandoned and hatred blinds reason.
So...when do you think we will see this information on Romney's campaign trail??? If it is so legit as you say it is...I'm sure he will pick it up...won't he???
If he doesn't...why don't you think he will?
Just one big ball of confusion surrounding which story to sell and to believe.... Basic information is pretty simple stuff..

I asked the same question when the McCain and Clinton campaigns backed off of Obama due to outside forces. Everyone dropped the ball with Obama in 2008 from the media all the way through the GOP. NOT AGAIN!!
Unlike you. The only *real* psychic on this thread.....
Honestly O-K...it's mind boggling to read the double standards you post here.

why don't you explain why this brochure reads like it does!
It has been explained by people on this thread over and over. Try reading the thread. The information had to go to the literary agent from Obama. So Obama either lied to the literary agent about his background or he has been telling lies to the American people about his eligibility. Either way ... HE LIED.

I don't believe I have made any psychic mind readings like others have.
This is one bio out of many about Obama...and this one has a...wait for it....a "mistake".
Mistakes do happen...human error and all that.

The big question is why they dropped the ball, they knew, they all know.edit on 053131p://bThursday2012 by Stormdancer777 because: (no reason given)
