I just find it amusing that the mistake that was made in 1991 was still on the books until 2007 before someone discovered it or had it changed.

Simple Question. Do you believe he was born in Kenya?


I actually did not under any circumstance until I read his literary agent's bio of him, a bio HE paid a literary agent to write some 17 years before he ran for President. Now I am not sure.

So now that I answered your question, why not answer mine? How and why would this have been printed by an agency that Barack Obama himself hired, and where would they have gotten the idea that he was born in Kenya?


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

That question has already been answered in this thread.
"Kenya", did not exist until 1963. Prior to that, it was called "British East Africa".

With all his gray hair lately, was he really born in 1961?  Hmm.

Quoted Text
Miriam Goderich, who helped edit a 1991 booklet for Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which erroneously stated that Obama had been born in Kenya, has issued a press release--first reported by her own client at Political Wire:

Quoted Text
"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."


Political Wire is run by Taegan Goddard, a client of Goderich's agency, Dystel & Goderich.

Goderich's statement fails to explain why the "fact checking error" persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystel's website, and through at least four different versions of Obama's biography.

It persisted, in fact, more than two years after Obama became a United States Senator, and until after Obama had declared his campaign for the presidency in 2007.

In addition to the 1991 biography above (#1), here, via archive.org, is a screen shot of Obama's biography (#2) on the Dystel.com website in June 1998, in which the text has been updated but the birthplace error has been repeated:



Here, again via archive.org, is a screen shot of Obama's updated biography on the Dystel & Goderich website in February 2005 (#3), updated to reflect the fact that Obama had become a U.S. Senator--but not corrected as regards his birthplace:



And here, once again via archive.org, is a screen shot of Obama's biography on the updated Dystel & Goderich website in April 2007 (#4), revealing that the text had been modified slightly--but the birthplace had not:



Breitbart News attempted to contact Goderich and senior partner Jane Dystel several times over several days prior to publishing our original story. They chose not to respond.

The real mystery is not where Obama was born--which has long been settled--but why Goddard failed to ask her agent a single relevant follow-up question about how the 'fact checking error' occurred in the first place.

Quoted from Henry


Buck do you watch Game of Thrones ?


I try to, but there are WAY too many characters and WAAAAAAY to many plot lines to try and cram into 1 hr.

I do like that line however  

It's something to fill in until Camelot starts back up in June and it sucks that I have to wait until January till Sparticus returns.

I hope 'Falling Skies' improves this summer as well

I just linked it bro. You can mock me all you want. Still doesn't change the fact that obvious damage control is obvious.

it doesn't really matter where he's from(except by rule of law)...because he is still nothing more than an elbow rubber afraid to lose what he has to talk the talk
of the sanctitiy of the individual

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Ok, ok, ok....

So MAYBE the literary company made an 'error' that took well over a decade to correct. Let's, for the moment, assume that's correct.

How about a major news organization? Maybe say....Oh I dunno....The Associated Press.

They couldn't make that same mistake, could they?

Oh wai...

Know what I find sadly hysterical?

The Washington Post can dig up stuff from Romney (proven to be false) from nearly 50 years ago but totally miss stuff like this.

It's very difficult to find anything when your not looking and it's even harder to hide the things that are found accidentally.

Tommy and Boxy must be trying to 'batphone' Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (aka Syphilis Suzy)/DU/Media Matters for talking points.
