What this latest revelation suggests is that Obama has manipulated his past to suit his goals at the time. Was he really born in Kenya? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he was presenting himself as "born in Kenya" at one point in his life and later realized that would work against him and changed his story. That is the picture that is emerging.

How can anyone be trusted who has fabricated parts of his past to suit his goals? I listened to Obama during the last campaign season and I never did trust him as my radar always said, "This guy isn't what he seems to be."

You dummies try to bring up a prank from 50 years ago but we cant talk about what Obama's own agent wrote?!?!
Deflectors all operate the same way, just sometimes with some different words.

You bring up a most excellent point.

unlikely since this is the first paragraph of the article:

"Note from Senior Management:
Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961."

Which part of that oh so long link did you read? Oh, none, I am sure but you have been hard at it attacking the messenger and calling him names. I sure hope this turns out to be false, but I won't stop reading links if it does.

You read the biographical information the author submitted where he says his father, Barack Obama Sr was born in Kenya. You're just scanning the more extensive material because you're in a hurry to get the synopsis done, and this author is a nobody, not even published yet, and you mistake Barack Obama Sr for Barack Obama Jr.

And please use "synopsis" correctly. You are supposed to be a writer, remember?

interesting new birther claim tho. will look into it further.
Now can you come up with a link to anything Obama wrote while the President of the Harvard Law Review? It will be tough since it seems that he was the only person to ever hold that position to never have written anything for the publication. I really do wonder why that is.

Andrew Breitbart promised a thorough vetting of Obama this time around since the media did not do it the first time. I would take that to mean, "We're going to look into his past and let the chips fall where they may."
