Wow, they dropped the ball, didn't they? Truly an epic f-up that you can't get someone's place of birth even on the right continent.
You guys must think lizards are alligators.
This is a trivial error that probably wouldn't even get a junior copywriter spanked. That you are focused on this rather than real issues just shows how completely the wheels have come off the conservative bus.
"We" is the group of people who have hired literary agents. Basic reading comprehension, Steve. I guess this explains your SAT performance?
And there's the rub. You have a hard earned reputation for believing what is false and not believing what is true. As such, you really should work on breaking the bad habit of using yourself as a standard by which to determine what neural normal people understand from their experience.
It is very likely to be different than yours.
Back to that SAT performance again. Answering such a question always should start by eliminating the answers that are obviously wrong. First on that list would be Obama himself. He certainly told them he was half Kenyan. he certainly told them his father was Kenyan.
But the detail that he was born there? That's an original **** up of their very own.
As we know, press regarding Obama's selection as Harvard's first black Law review president already had been getting the details correct for a year. Like the New York Times in 1990:
So whatever the proximate cause for the mistake, it certainly was not because Obama was going around telling people he was born in Kenya.
What an incredibly dumb question. You think it would have been more reasonable to name Zimbabwe and Malaysia instead of the countries that Obama actually was associated with?
The breathtaking idiocy of that question robs a three county region of oxygen.
Your post is laced with falsehoods and denial. Agents have their clients fill out a questionnaire before they go shopping for publishers in order to promote the client. Obama gave the information in all likelihood or again, someone in his inner circle. In Obama's book, he recounted how his last two years of high school were a drug and alcohol induced blur. Under such circumstances it’s unlikely he had the requisite grades/SAT scores to enter college as a graduating American. Maybe as a foreign student from an underdeveloped country, he received favorable consideration without regard to grades or preparedness. The answer to all this is pretty simple:
1. Obama was born in Kenya when it served him.
2. Obama was not born in Kenya when it served him.
Even the most trivially left leaning liberal can understand this. HistorianDude, don’t you know it’s a test of true intellect to be able to accept that two contradictory facts are both true? Well, maybe not as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates in your posts. So what's the next step HistorianDude? I know. Let's see his college records and see what they say!

If born in Hawaii then natural born. If born in Kenya, then birthright but in that case also he qualifies to be US citizen because of his mother. but you agree that he is US citizen even if he was born in kenya?
If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if
the U.S. citizen parent has been "physically present" in the U.S. before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and
at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent's fourteenth birthday
Obama's mother was US citizen. she has lived in US atleast 5 years in he life before obama was born. atleast 2 years after she was 14 years old.
now where is the problem?????Is there any other clause of natural born which deny obama president office????

Obama should get his money back for such crappy service. Think he will?
Not sure what page you're looking at, but Page 74, year-ended June 30,1962 shows 21 people orginating from Kenya and arriving by sea or air in the United States, including SEVEN CITIZENS.
100% of them arrived by sea as it explicitly indicates. Zero arrived by air.
And not even the nuttiest Birther suggests Obama's mother took the slow boat from Kenya.
actually, my mother-in-law has that problem. i made the mistake of telling her it was just alligator lizards ( which they are ) getting into her yard. she only caught the alligator part and told her neighbor...... who then sent out an email to the entire retirement community to be on the look-out for a 5 foot alligator prowling the area. a search party was formed.
off-topic but just had to share.
( altho, in a lot of ways, i can see a parallel with how the original birther rumors expanded and spread thru the web. )
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.
A fact checking error based on no facts. LMAO
