The bio also stated that Barack Obama was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii AND Chicago, which was also incorrect. So stating that he was born in Kenya was NOT the only error in that bio. So did he also lie about being raised in Chicago? Is that going to be the latest conspiracy theory of the birther nuts that he is somehow hiding being raised in Chicago?

tip o'neil's bio lists him as becoming speaker in 1976. close ( jan 4, 1977 ) but still inaccurate.

curious if there are other errors in the booklet.

Well that makes Tip O'Neill a big ole LIAR. We need to investigate because obviously if its in this pamphlet that means that he lied about when he become speaker. He tried to trick us. Was he even born in America? Hmmm, O'Neill...probably born in Ireland. Someone get me his birth certificate, NOW....that liar!

Obama was not a senator in 1991.

He also wasn't raised in Chicago.

The source of the errors in the bio has been explained by the literary agent's assistant who made them. MOVE ON.

Yes - we now have to invalidate every piece of legislation that was passed by the House while he presided over it!

You were opining about how busy he was when he wasn't. I will not move on from this topic.
