Obama Born in Kenya?

By Larry Johnson on May 17, 2012 at 5:06 PM in Current Affairs

I know. Look, as I have written all along–BARACK OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII.
That said, we also need to admit that there was a time in his life when he was willing to play the Kenya card:

Is this cool or what?

It is time for the press to fully explore why Obama lied about being adopted by Lolo Soetoro and why he has covered up his trip years ago to Pakistan.

Do I believe he’s a closet muslim?

NO, and HELL NO!! He is an arrogant, self-absorbed narcissist of the first order and is an intellectual chameleon.

Breitbart’s site has the full story. Take time to read it.

This is great, though. It will force his campaign to deal with the whole Kenya matter.

The literary agent is out with a bullshit statement:

“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”

Really? Why did she ASSUME, in the first place, that Obama was born in Kenya? How do you make a fucking mistake like that? Is she a moron? Did she just make it up? Or did she ask him?

This thing needs some answers.

tamminator

This isn’t the only Kenyan claim. The associated press referred to him as Kenyan born in this 2004 article. Four years before the election.

There have been a number of other claims about obama being born in Kenya. Even Michelle talked about his “home country of Kenya” in a speech…why would she say that if he were born in Hawaii?

Michelle’s speech:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M7Rp_Ghv6k&feature=related
samb1

Rememeber the interview with ” O’s” African
grandmother, where she announced
she was at ” O’s” birth?
What ever happen to that little piece of video?

Deapster

And what pray tell happened to that hapless Kenyan journalist website before the 2008 election based in Norway who claimed he had constitution rocking news about Obama before the election, but somehow he never quite crossed the finish line with it and slithered out of sight. Or what really did happen to him and his “proof”.

The hapless journalist claimed it was something Michelle Obama told him personally in an irate phone call. Anyone else remember this sideshow circus that provided hours of distraction at a time when many of us simply could not believe a nation was poised to elect this complete fraud as POTUS.

If I remember right,
they played it like it was a scam.
Deapster

Here it is – straight from Africa Press International who scooped everyone with their latest entry on this ongoing story:

EllenD818

Kenya never made sense. What American girl is going to a 3rd world country to deliver her first child?

I believe Obama added many embellishments to his background as he went along. Whatever got him what he needed at the time. He just made it up as he went along.

stodghie

well for starters his mother jmo didn’t play with a full deck. she was a romantic about the men in her life who probably used her. so would she do something like trapse off to africa like she did indonesia, the answer is yes till obama proves otherwise. just for the record i didn’t believe he came from kenya or really begin questioning all this till recently. there is something rotten in denmark, kenya and dc.
elizabethrc

An American girl who hated America. It doesn’t sound like Stanley Ann was enamoured of our country.
KenoshaMarge

I suspect a girl like Stanley Ann, a young woman in search of herself, would think trekking off to Africa to have a baby romantic.

That doesn’t mean I think she did. I, along with everyone else, just don’t know. I lean towards not believing but am willing to listen and learn. I’ve been wrong before.

jrterrier

you mean like when angelina jolie went to namibia to give birth?

samb1

Ann D. made unusual choices in men,
she learned from her father and these men the communist doctrine that would one day go on to influence her son.

This is on Obama, he has created and covered
up all information, Why?

All immigration records are missing from the time baby Obama and Ann D. entered the U.S. Why?

I don’t believe Ann D. was stupid,
she wanted her son born somewhere
other then the U.S. and adopted and schooled somewhere else other then the U.S, due to her contempt for this country.

This would make her decisions well thought out.

BTW- Personally, I have seen the Grandmother’s interview she was serious and proud about her statement.

And to think they called Bill Clinton a liar.

Kenya lets him be a foreign student. Can Columbia and Harvard be pushed to confirm his student status – it will be on his academic record (another scandal for Harvard). Basically he is a chancer!

EllenD818

What is the advantage of being a foreign student? It usually costs more.

stodghie

well he used the legacy of his “father” to get placement in harvard. he used foreign student loans to help pay for his education. look at the dem candidate running for the senate seat. she apparently lied to get placement as well.

EllenD818

I understand using Alumni status from his father to get into Harvard but he didn’t need to be a foreign student to do that.
Can anyone enlighten me about Foreign Student Loans? The only foreign students I knew of their parents were rich enough to pay the non-resident rates.

Deapster

Was this document concocted to get him his foreign student status? You can get any ID document you want in the streets of LA for $10 bucks. A little bakish in Kenya might well get you this: http://africanpress.me/2012/03/09/president-obama-will-be-forced-by-circumstances-to-apologise-genuine-birth-certificate-surfaces-americans-have-been-led-to-believe-otherwise-revelation-to-change-the-political-landscape/

“Why did she ASSUME, in the first place, that Obama was born in Hawaii?”

Did you mean to ask why his literary agent assumed that Obama was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii? What gave her that impression at the time? Naturally Big Media will accept her apology without question and not even bother pursuing this story.

shelldoll2

Thank you. It makes no sense. Authors have the final say-so about bios their agents put out.

Why would Obama tell an agent that and she somehow mis-understood? Either her hearing is faulty or she’s a moron.

Kenya? Yeah that’s a country I’d just pick out of thin air – NOT.
http://noquarterusa.net Larry Johnson

Whoops. Shouldn’t write before I go to bed.

Hokma

All very good questions at the end Larry. And the response from the Obama campaign will be the same to the Jeremiah Wright ads – racism.

Unfortunately it is becoming the like the person who always dried “wolf.” Too many racism charges and no one buys it anymore.

Another question. Where the hell was Clinton’s and McCain’s opposition research 4 years ago?

How did the assistant come up with Kenya????? I am really starting to think that is where he was born (Kenya). Why wouldn’t I? It says it right there in the pamphlet!

binky354

Going against majority thought, I believe he was NOT born in Hawaii, but in Kenya. There’s no other reason to spend a fortune putting his documents in lock-down to prevent the American public from seeing them. It’s just common sense in my point of view.
Deapster

Hey, it says so right here too:

It all a very confusing mess. I you can’t believe what is in print about his life what can one believe. And now we can’t even believe in HOPE & CHANGE!!!!! Its like all everything we thought we knew about BO is bogus. What is one to do? Oh mercy me!!!!!
DianaLC

Well, here’s the thing. I know a lot about narcissists, having been married to one for far too long. They actually believe what they are saying when they open their mouths. If you, however, make the mistake of calling them on the fact that what he or she is currently saying does not match what he or she said before, then you become the liar. You obviously mis-heard what you heard before. You are always the one who is crazy, not the narcissist, who–in his or her mind–is incapable of doing anything that is not perfect.

No one will ever get at the truth of O’s life story because he doesn’t know it himself. The truth to him is whatever he thinks it is at any point in time.

If in the future–after he is thankfully long gone from the public eye–someone tries to do an accurate biography of him, that person better have a keen mind and great perserverence in order to find the evidence and set it out.

Give the POTUS a break–at that time he thought he was born in Kanya, so it was true at that time. (YES, I am being facetious here.)

Malcolm_Reynolds

Maybe the White House and their drones in the press corp will explain all this away by saying that his literary agent was, dare I say it, a RACIST for having the GALL to assume that he was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii.

Am I right that 0zer0 sealed his academic records and birth certificate by executive order?

If that is the case, cannot a new incoming president abolish, withdraw, or whatever it is called in getting rid of that executive order?

Justine00

Excellent question. Would an incoming president have enough courage to do so, or would he use the excuse that to “heal the country”, he won’t?

Actually an article by Obama on the meaning of treason would suffice. To be edited by the Supreme Court, of course.

TeakWoodKite

For all I care he was “born in the back seat of a greyhound bus rolling down highway 61″.

I do not believe he is an NBC, barring any documentation that has been certified as a legally authentic by a US court of law.. LJ, there are none. Just Campaign images.

He is a serial liar as well, so it doesn’t matter where he was born. He is not an NB American citizen.

Why would a person publish the Kenya meme unless BO told her he was born in Kenya?

Malcolm_Reynolds

What’s puzzling is where the literary agent got the impression to write in the brocure that BO was born in Kenya in the first place. His books had not yet been published at the time, and he wasn’t even a newsworthy person at that time unless the info in the bio was first given to her by her client. Wasn’t she supposed to show him the final copy for approval before it got printed out and distributed? Inquiring minds would love to know.

binky354

And didn’t he use this bio until 2007 – he sure didn’t bother to correct anything. He is not NB.
BuzzLatte2

Exactly. Someone started the lie. Perhaps it was a young man with huge dreams and enough felonious minded DNA to say anything to get himself ahead. Sound like anyone in the WH?

stodghie

assume he lies about everything else but this one subject???? hmmm, again let him prove who is really is like everyone else. do i give him the benefit of a doubt? no i won’t. i have to show a real birth certifcate and so should he.

stodghie

i find it odd that you assume he is indeed american born. that has not been proven either. it is his reponsibility to do so and he hasn’t . in fact he provided a fraud and threw it in the american people’s face. until he proves otherwise, i am not convinced he is indeed american born. for heaven’s sake we all have to prove who and where we came from. let him do so or pack his bags and resign.

TeakWoodKite

I don’t believe he can prove it legally and has gone to great efforts to hide his documents from his past. So no, I do not assume he is… TGIF.

Bottom line: Somebody lied either about being born in Kenya or in Hawaii. Who could have started that lie?

Anyone who had something to gain by

Deeper than that. Obama would have had to agree to perpetuate the lie. Throw Michelle in there, too.

samb1

Agreed!!!

http://twitter.com/VeronicaVerona1 Veronica Verona

Deeper than that II: Nancy Pelosi signed off on his eligibility for the 2008 run. If indeed he was born in Kenya, what sort of crime did she commit?

If he was born in Hawaii but is still unable to produce a bona fide birth certificate that meets with document forgery experts approval, is he still eligible to run legitimately?

What’s interesting is this has been hashed about on birther oriented blogs for almost four years and NOW it comes to the mainstream?

Maybe finally we can get back to vetting Obama? Back in 2008 I wrote here on NoQuarterUSA about Obama’s citizenship and eligibility. Still unanswered questions:

1. Since Obama did not get his first U.S. passport until 2004 AFTER entering the U.S. Senate, under whose passport did he previously travel overseas? (For example, trips as an adult to Indonesia, Pakistan, and Kenya)

2. Did Obama renounce any foreign citizenship, and when, and do you now hold solely U.S. citizenship today?

3. Can Obama confirm or deny his name change as a youth from Barack Hussein Obama II to Barry Soetoro when he was adopted by your step-father in Indonesia?

4. Did Obama legally reclaim his birth name? When and how?

5. Why did Obama not list his adopted name Barry Soetoro on any forms associated with his brief legal profession or others that ask for any other names he have ever used?

6. Did he apply and attend school as a foreign student? Who paid for his schooling?

felizarte

My bigger question is: Why did the Bush Adm., with authority and access to Obama’s passpsort application not look into this at all? Or is it because they really wanted him to win and not Clinton or McCain?

They did. And Quarles Harris, Jr. got dead for it.

This is unbelievable. I believe he was born in Hawaii, but was using the Kenya angle for whatever beneficial reasons… just like that Native American Elizabeth Warren. It does say something about a person’s character… to lie to get ahead. Shaking my head.

Deapster

Maybe O’Bambi got this document created so he could qualify for something else:

Was this the birth certificate Ayers said O’Bambi was staring at?
Madame_deFarge

I agree completely. He worked the system from day 1. He is whatever he needs to be to get what he wants. He was probably born in Hawaii and used the narrative of his father to give himself a Lefty identity. Just as Warren has done. It is goes along with Cloward-Priven as well…game the system. The purpose too is to confuse the issues whenever things get tough.

Why did he need a literary agent in 1991 ?

Hard to explain when his management firm from 2007 again has him listed as follows —

BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the
dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He
was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review.
He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan
finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His
first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.

It should say born in Kenya to a stupid commie tw*t that like to diddle around in third world countries and a drunken, dead beat muslim commie. He was born in Kenya. That’s why the records are missing of who came into HI around the time he was born. And a Kenyan cannot be a African American.

Larry… I begged President-Elect Obama, in an open letter on my blog back in Dec 2008 to answer about this Kenyan birth question, becuz I figured it was going to come back and haunt him and the nation later.

Several sources say BO was born in Kenya:

(I don’t believe he was born in Kenya..I think he is Malcolm’s kid, but
these stories he and others told show that everything about him is
suspect)

Literary agent says so:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/The-Vetting-Barack-Obama-Literary-Agent-1991-Born-in-Kenya-Raised-Indonesia-Hawaii

Michelle said so:
Michelle’s speech:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

The associated press referred to him as Kenyan born in this 2004 article. Four years before the election.
http://web.archive.org/web/200…

Also Alan Keyes said in 2008 that BO had admitted that he was born in Kenya, but when Keyes was asked to find the video/audio of the exchange between the two of them, he said it was lost. At the time in 2004, I think, the two were running for the Senate…and BO said he didn’t need to be a NBC to be a Senator.

birdie87

Not true. The video of all of Keyes and Obama’s debates are available on Keyes’s website. As well as the transcripts. There was no such exchange. That said, I still think Obama was born in Kenya, but you have to stick to the facts of where this has been said.

sowsear1

I have a pretty good memory and that exchange was reported in 2008…also the part where Keyes said he could not find the exchange. Someone questioned Keyes saying it had to be among his records…but no one pressed him on it. Undoubtedly he was being pressed from the other side too…and like so many of the records…not there anymore..parts deleted, etc.

Even if Miriam was employed at the agency in 1991, when the brochure was written, she was a low level employee, who’s work must have been verified by her superiors.
She became a partner only in 1995.So, this is pure bullshit.

If she did not write the brochure then who did? If she had nothing to do with it why is she apologizing?

Why did John Edwards’ key aide claim that Johnny’s illegitimate baby girl was his, humiliating his own wife in the process? Prodigious quantities of greenbacks or a plum political sinecure appointment yielding same are usually the answer.

Malcolm_Reynolds

Good comment from the Hillary is 44 website:

“So what can we conclude from Promotional Bookletgate?

1. Miriam Goderich, who created the booklet from bio information provided to her by Obama (where else would she get his bio from?), was totally incompetent and allowed the booklet to go out at great cost without the final copy being first reviewed by him and rewarded by becoming a partner at the literary agency firm. Or…

2. His Magnificence, not having the foresight in 1991 that he will run for POTUS someday, decided to lie to Goderich in his bio form in order to beef up his credentials with the left-wing Chicago political big-shots when his future books at the time would be published. Or…

3. Not having any idea that he would run for POTUS at the time and just glad to have the chance of publishing a book, filled out his bio form truthfully when he got it in the mail and gave it to Goderich, who wrote the booklet based on the info on the form without making a mistake.

So which scenario is more likely? My money is on the third scenario.”

Deapster

This would require Obama being smart enough in 1991 to know he was too stupid to run for POTUS in 2008. I guess that didn’t happen either.

Retired_from_SPOnaj

Obama’s records, including the literary agent’s website, began to be professionally scrubbed in late 2006 and continued into 2007 and beyond. Who were the people that did the professional scrubbing, and who paid for them to do it? People like this don’t work for free. The answer to this question will be highly expository of who pushes Obama’s buttons.

HELENK2

very good question. Do you think we will ever get the answer???
BronwynsHarbor

Retired, you use the word “professionally” to describe the scrubbing of the agent’s website.

Why? How can you tell that it was professional as opposed to … what? Amateur? Non-professional (and what would that mean?)?

Retired_from_SPOnaj

Bronwyn, A very good question. There are consultants, some of whom were formerly with CIA’s cover creation and maintenance unit (as I have been) and/or it’s allied technical servies unit, some of whom are private investigators, usually with a law enforcement scientific investigation unit background, who provide a very specialized and esoteric service to politicians of performing a deep due diligence investigation of what information is available from various sources on their background and then “scrubbing” derogatory or politically damaging information from these sources. Such operations leave “fingerprints” that other professionals can readly recognize but, if the “scrubber” is very good, can’t be explained to the general population in a politically viable way. Mr. Obama’s “scrub” left such fingerprints.

Let me offer you one generic example of such a professional scrubbing. A draft card on file in Selective Service System records may be identified by a professional as a forged fabrication because it uses a date stamp format that was not in use by Selective Service at the time that the card was supposedly sent in three or more decades ago. The reason for having to fabricate this format is that 30 year old date stamps are not generally available and the scrubber doesn’t have access to the very expensive forgery artisans that could produce one, so s/he just produces his own date stamp from materials available in 2005-6. This shortcut can be pretty easily identified by someone “in the business.” A common mistake when this methodology is used, for example, is an upside down number eight with the large “goose egg: on top and the small “goose egg” on the bottom. An actual date stamp from the era would be exactly the opposite.

The professional document forensics that yielded the detection of the forgery, i.e., describing how the fake stamp used in the forgery was constructed, is far too technical for easy consumption by the average, nontechnical and somewhat apathetic and canard-weary citizen, therefore, an accusation of forgery is not politically viable by the opponent. To a professional, though, who understands how documents are fabricated (i.e., forged)at various levels of forgery resources, the “fingerprint” is clear.

This type of service isn’t cheap, because the professionals involved in it know that the states (i.e., political office at various levels) are high. The higher the stakes, the more extensive and expensive the service.

You may draw your own conclusions on how much a thorough scrubbing of a candidate for the most powerful political office in the world might cost. And what conditions would cause such a scrubbing to begin before that candidate even declared his/her candidacy for that office.

Are you vomiting yet? Welcome to a peek at my world.

Flop_Flipper

Professional scrubbing seems to be the only rational explanation for it. Docs that were accessible to the general public in 2008 have been disappeared. Though a good amount of freebie google bombing lent to the effort.

This all sounds like an intriguing novel. If only there were a protagonist and this wasn’t based upon a true story.

Since they failed to
“fact check” the information provided to them that Barack Obama was born
in Kenya, what was the source of the un-fact-checked information that
led you to erroneously publish that Barack Obama was born in Kenya? I
mean, you didn’t pull it out of your ass, right? Where did you get this
mistaken information from? I’m sure that since you have such clear
memories of this remember 21 years later that you can provide us with
the source of the faulty information, right?

They even forgot to fact-check the authorship. Bill Ayers in fact wrote the book. Sloppy, just plain sloppy.

Help me sort this out: Obama was born “African” in Hawaii to a white mother, but Obama also claims if he had son his son would look like Trayvon, who looks like a gangsta thug.

African Press International is at it again with their recent juicy threads claiming a few months ago all of this will be revealed in Obama’s upcoming book, which they predicted last year would reveal all. How did they know that? Don’t leave API out of this current loop because they need the eyeball hits for their website.

Has anyone seen Bill Ayers lately and does he show signs of writer’s cramps again? Michelle and O’Bambi did a quick calculation – more money made ghost-writing books than sitting in the Oval Office.

Keep the former POTUS perks without the headaches of actually running a country while you hit the book tour circuit with your own Secret Service slaves …for life. How sweet it is.

Found this comment at ABC News’ site about the agent’s apology for her “mistake”:

“A long time ago, as a new lawyer, I was mentored by an older lawyer. One of the things he said, which has always stuck in my mind and I used whenever the circumstances allowed, was that “paper never lies.” If we were in court, the burden of proof would shift to Obama to explain this document.The obvious questin arises, “Were you lying then, or are you lying now?” The problem with Obama, is that the answer to this compound question is, “Yes.”

KenoshaMarge

One of the problems we as a society face is that sometime in the past we allowed ourselves to be convinced that when a politician “lied” it was all right to refer to it as “spin.” It was also okay to simply say, as the media frequently does, that everyone does it.

Thus our national “character” was polluted. Was it simply media trying to be PC instead of calling a pol a lying POS? Or were they trying to protect one of their favored pols?

Either way the casualty was the truth. The other casualty was a public unwilling to excuse liars.

Our mother’s raised us better than that. At least mine did.

elizabethrc

Marge, this goes hand in hand with a general dumbing down of America, our standards and our expectations.
I read that in one Florida school system, because too many kids failed a test that was given, the school’s solution was to lower the passing grade.
I call this fatal to America! If we don’t accept this nonsense and stand our ground in town meetings, PTA meetings, and wherever our officials gather to make policy, it’s just going to go on and we’ll see America continue to devolve. American exceptionalism will be just a distant memory, if at all.

KenoshaMarge

Agree Absolutely!

I see it up close and all too personal with several of my own granddaughters. Four have graduated from High School and 3 are now college students. We were all so proud since this is the first generation for us with college educations.

However two of the four who graduated from High School are so ignorant it nearly breaks my heart. They cannot read, except in texteese and know little history, geography or math. Yet they think, as most young folk do, that they know everything.

Chances are they will go through life with a cell phone, provided by the state, in their ear and their heads in their asses.

Two of the older girls who actually applied themselves and are fairly well educated in spite of the public school system, not because of it, refer to their sister and cousin as the “dolts.”

While I scold the name-calling, I sadly agree. They are ignorant dolts.

What a waste. They were once such bright little girls with a world of opportunity in front of them.These two took the course of least resistance and chose to be dolts. The system allowed them to be dolts with a High School Diploma.

The other two became responsible adults. The dolts never will. Now they are Julia.

The lady’s excuse is pretty lame. As narcissistic as Obama is, it is next to impossible to think that he wouldn’t read carefully any and everything about himself and this is no exception.
Didn’t Michelle once call Kenya something like “the land of his birth”? I’m parapharasing what she said and perhaps someone can come up with her complete quote, but the substance was that he was a Kenyan.
What happens if it turns out that he is not qualified to be President according to our laws? I’ve read people saying that it would just be too much trouble to nullify the laws, executive orders and whatever edicts he’s enacted, to do anything about it. That sounds to me like “let’s just let him stay in office because we’re too lazy to do our jobs, no matter how vitally important it is to the nation”. Can you imagine the infighting that will take place in Congress?

Poor, stupid useful idiot — Larry’s not a birther, he’s saying Obama pulled a Liz Warren.

I’m not surprised Obama lied about a Kenyan birth to make his dull, middle class upbringing by his grandparents (including attending an exclusive prep school since the 5th grade) seem more interesting & exotic (not to mention scholarship money to Columbia & Harvard & mysterious trips to Pakistan). Lying about himself to advance his self-interest & soothe his ego is all he ever does.
http://twitter.com/beyondpartisan beyond partisan

Anyone who looks at this objectively will see there is a problem here. Either Obama lied about his birthplace to promote himself back then or he is lying about his birthplace now. Nobody lets a factually incorrect bio of themselves stay up for that long unless they want it that way! So you seem “desperate” that the issue just won’t go away…
Hokma

whatever your name is today828 or 454 – - - if anyone is a “birther” it is Obama himself according to the facts. It’s not a matter of where he was actually born – it’s a matter of who the hell is he? What really has been his life? He uses different birth places – a composite girlfriend – is a loyal member of Jeremiah Wright’s church and then he isn’t - he’s a barely C student throught out his education but is able to get into Harvard Law and magically becomes smart - and on and on and on.

Romney’s life is fully documented and pretty impressive.

Obama’s life is still a deep mystery and hidden and very UNimpressive.

Now go back into your basement and and contemplate.

I’m having a hard time getting all worked up about this. While I enjoy yet another episode of That Obama feller Lied I don’t for one moment believe that this revelation will make a bit of a difference. To me it’s just another distraction, like gay marriage. Show me some juicy proof that Obama is an asshole baby and I’m all ears.

I’m with Romney. Obama and his folks are the experts at character assassination and that’s their game plan. I may change my mind, but at this moment I think taking the high road leads to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

My initial disaffection for Obama started back in Feb 2008 when I attended one of his early rallies and watched him “cure” a fainting lady only to learn fainting ladies were stock in trade at many of his early rallies.

He lost me from that moment forward. I never learned to regret my early snap judgment about this political charlatan.

Apparently that is because the firm inovolved didn’t get around to correcting the “mistake” until 2007 (according to reports today) – after it was decided he would run for president. Elizabeth Warren would not have corrected her “mistake” eitheer, had dit not been caught. I wonder if it is too late now as the pejprative “Birther” label is pretty sticky.

I understand why Breitbart is pussyfooting around the issue – but in this case the simplest explanation is probably the most likely one – he was born in Kenya.
