Born Again?

Now what?
Of course must be a right wing thing...
Guess you can call Joe and tell him cancel the news conference next month.

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.
It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

Someone wrote it so it must be true. I bet if you used a Uzi in a barn you still could not hit anything.

I guess the other thread died of old age? Or perhaps lack of interest?

It is a contemporary account--from 1991--long before the "birther" controversy. That alone sets its apart, and done as a promo for the young Barak--not as an attack piece.

What it may show, more than anything, is that Barack Obama's "story" was very flexible, and has changed over the years as political requirements changed.

The interesting thing is, as MS Fowler indicated, it was written well before Barack was on the radar.
And I think it was Granny Obama who said a long time ago Barry was born in Kenya.
That in itself takes it out of the 2008 conspiracy theory circle.

Can you imagine if it were ever found true that Obama didn't fulfill the requirements of the office, yet still was voted in??

How in the hell could we reset everything??

That's why I think the important thing is NOT the "born in Kenya" part of it, but the way the story of Barak changes over time.

I suppose this could be handled the way Marco Rubio handled his family history, no?

So what do the Agents that produced this flyer have to say about it?

I guess we will never know since the Agency went out of business years ago. There is a successor company, but it is a different company.

It always helps to use a source than cannot be checked out if you are worried about someone checking out your source.

So YOUR focus here is on the truly IMPORTANT thing: DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the same lie.


Ok.

Got it, got it.
