Breaking 17May2012: Obama's literary agent's '91 material has him born in Kenya

[DrScholl]

Just stop, this desperation is embarrassing. Really, if you are going to post, post something that is worth discussion.

What desperation?  Nobody is suggesting that Obama was born in Kenya.  It is a bit bizarre, though, that Obama's literary agent would say Obama was born there up until just before Obama decided to run for President in 2007.  Where did Obama's literary agent get the idea that Obama was born in Kenya from in the first place?

This story is up top on Drudge.  Even though you think it's not worth discussion, this story will not be ignored.  The administration will likely have to respond at some point.

Did you miss that Obama provided his birth certificate? There is nothing to respond to and it's not worth the discussion since it's all conspiracy theory nonsense. That's just my opinion.

The article goes out if its way to disavow the "conspiracy theory nonsense".  This is part of Breitbart's vetting Obama series - something the media and McCain campaign did a terrible job of in 2008.  The relevant question is who gave Obama's literary agent the false impression that Obama was born in Kenya?  From where did they get this information?  If it was from Obama himself, why did he want to say he was born in Kenya?

Miriam Goderich claims Obama did not give her the information that resulted in her "mistakenly" placing his birth in Kenya.  OK, but she so far fails to state who did give her the information.  This is an omission that cannot long survive.

Btw, I'm not a Birther.  I note that Birtherism originated among Democrats -- Hillary supporters -- and it never gained the currency among Republicans that, for example, "9/11 Trooferism" gained among Democrats.

What she stated is that it was fact checking error on her part, she never mentioned anyone giving her any information or even hinted at it.

More than a few Republican members of Congress have subscribed to birtherism, so it's not true that Republicans didn't embrace it.
