This is extremely odd. Some are saying he was trying to appeal to the married women's vote, but REALLY??? You would lie about your anniversary just for that and then spend the week calling your opponent a liar...lol. These folks have no moral compass at all.
Its the RWNJ's doing all of the lying here..... The date is October 3rd, multiple "actual" sources have articles from previous years showing the date is the 3rd.

This was in April 2010. I guess the media has been too busy picking on republicans to mention this, or maybe they "didn't have time to explain it."
Ask a bunch of Italians in the Italian Republican neighborhood I grew up in.......

Black U.S. citizens do not refer to Africa or an African country as "home."

There's actually a rift between African-Americans and Africans in the U.S. because there are significant cultural differences.
African vs. African-American

Dystel & Goderich was Obama's agency. That's a fact. Authors submit biographical data for agency bios. Why would Obama, being a lawyer himself, allow such a VERY obvious error about his birthplace to persist over a time span of 16 years and through several updates and revisions in the bio his legal representative in the literary world presented to the public?
16 years worth, well that is impressive, did you read that information on the internet too?

Do you speak for all African-Americans?

You can see it with your own eyes. The 2007 version of Obama's Dystel & Goderich author bio:
Dystel & Goderich Literary Management :: Client List

Why would Obama, being a lawyer himself, allow such a VERY obvious error about his birthplace to persist over a time span of 16 years and through several updates and revisions in the bio his legal representative in the literary world presented to the public?

Oh yes, of course, the bio, that makes total sense because it is on the internet so it must be true....oh wait, I just found a follow up on that bio and it is on the internet, so it must be true.
Literary Agent Says 1991 Booklet was a Mistake

Literary Agent Says 1991 Booklet was a Mistake

Breitbart News reports on a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency which describes the author as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

Miriam Goderich issued the following statement to Political Wire:

"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."

Full disclosure: I am a client of the same literary agency.
Hmm, who to believe, you or the person who pointed out their own error with your link....tough one cause they are both on the internet, which one is true? How could anyone make such an error?

There have been several famous but under the radar folks who have had to come out publicly and declare themselves NOT DEAD when someone, somewhere reported it and it "went viral" even in the days before computers. One slip, one typo, one unchecked fact. Even us regular folks have things like this happen to them ALL THE TIME and once something is out there it just multiplies over and over and it's hard to put a stop to. I don't know what date they were married, I don't care, and I don't believe for a minute he is "lying" about anything. It's pointless, and even though people claim that as proof that he is a pathological liar it's really just proof they are gullible and want to believe what they believe regardless of the truth.

Hate the man for his politics but the CONTINUAL over the top conspiracies, insults, grips over nothing, make you all look like a bunch of .... which of course you are.
