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

[ingemann]

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.

Obama father was Kenyan economist, something which easily transform when it has been through a few people (like in the telefon game) to "Obama was born in Kenya to a Kenyan finance minister", especially as Obama wasn't important enough at that point, that anyone cared to fact check it . That's a much easier explanation than any conspiracy.
