    And it's now looking like Obama did submit his bio for the literary agent. I went to that agency site and found this. Basically it says the author is the one who has to submit the information. So, if Obama’s team hasn’t locked it down, there should be a source document from Obama.

    Here’s a bit of what I found under Submission Requirements:

    Submission Requirements

    Contrary to popular belief, we like our unsolicited queries to be concise, well-written and well-proofed, and as devoid of gimmicks as possible. Tell us who you are (past writing credits or celebrity status is helpful to know about but not mandatory), what your project is (a summary paragraph is good), and whether you have submitted this project to the entire publishing community already.

    In order to get your foot in the door remember that appearances count. We don’t like to see handwritten queries with coffee stains on them. We don’t like our names misspelled. We don’t like a lot of typos in general. We don’t like generic “Dear Agent” letters, but we don’t like overly chummy greetings, either. Photographs generally don’t help – unless you’re George Clooney. Plain and simple works best for us. Don’t try to convince us that you’ve written the next GONE WITH THE WIND… we’ve heard that one before. Let your project speak for itself.

    Enclose a cover letter, outline or brief synopsis of the work (with word count if possible), a sample chapter, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope for our response. Please type all of your correspondence and double space everything other than the cover letter. E-mail queries are fine, but keep them brief and make sure your cover letter is in the body of the e-mail. We won’t open attachments if they come with a blank e-mail. Please be sure to query only one agent at this agency. We will not review queries sent to more than one of us.

    (there’s more at the site)

    So in theory, the agency follows its own protocol, there should be a source document FROM the President himself at that time.

    which is exactly why she never flew to or from kenya in 1961.

    was that really a serious question?

    except of course it's been verified by the issueing authority, the state of hawaii, as authentic. why would the issueing authority provide him with a forgery?

    lol, interesting. i'm pretty sure obama is still president, you birthers have lost every single legal challenge to date. making it 117 to 0. let that sink in for a minute. you even lost to an empty chair in georgia.

    birthers are retarded. they make moon landing nuts look legitimate.

    ok apuzzo, now show us where it says that the author of the bio has to be who the bio is about? Show us where it says obama submitted this bio.

    come on apuzzo, don't run away. I'm sure your latest sock will be banned soon, so I'd like you to answer before that happens.

    Its a glorious Saturday and I have things to do rather than spend any serious time pointing out that Birthers are idiots, and keep trying to pretend that speculation, innuendo and lies are facts.

    I will point out- that of all the things Obama would love his opposition to spend time on- this has got to be it- an obscure pamphlet from 30 years ago- rather than the economy.

    Go Birthers Go!

    Would finding out he misrepresented himself cause you not to vote for him?

    Who's Who. Bio's for appearances. Bio's for company presentations. Bio's for course instructor. As a matter of course the person whose bio it is is asked to approve the copy else they could get sued for false information.

    What is the premise of your assertion it was obscure, obscure to whom? It was national recognition that late could be used to advance his career.

    So where did the claim originate from and what did he do to correct it. Did they get it from his school records? Well how did it get into those records? Here is a man whose ONLY claim to fame is is heritage and here he was getting probably his first national recognition, maybe the first public outside of school publications and he let this be printed or if it was done without his permission he did not protest.

    It makes no sense on it's face.

    I have no earthly idea who this apuzzo is you keep refering to. One thing is clear, Breitbarts team said they have more information on this and will be releasing it soon so my advice to you is to stay calm. Here is someone who blows the lid off the literary agents excuse. He is a writer himself on the professional level. Take a look,

    Obama Born in Kenya Bio Was No Fact Checking Error; Submitted by Client:
    http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/05/why_kenyan_birth_claim_was_no_fact_checking_error.html

    This confession rings false to the point of preposterous for any number of reasons. Let us start with the obvious. At the time, 1991, the Acton & Dystel agency listed 90 clients, Obama among its least significant. How likely is it that Goderich would have remembered enough about a 1991 "error" to know it was hers, especially since it went uncorrected through several revisions until changed in 2007? To make this claim credible, there would have to be an existing paper trail leading to an Obama submission in which he lists an Hawaiian birth. I am confident that there is no such submission.

    Former publisher Tom Lipscomb does not buy Goderich's explanation for a New York minute. "As someone who has run a number of top bestseller publishers, I think this is an amazing MIRACLE," writes Lipscomb emphatically on Power Line. "It is the ONLY case I have ever heard of in which an editorial assistant INVENTED a biographical detail. I have heard of typos, wrong dates, misspellings of names. But to pick a really weird country of origin like Kenya for an author?"

    The Breitbart people followed up with a piece by Steve Boman, a Jane Dystel client in the mid-1990s, who noted, "All material she used in our proposals came directly from me and my writing partner." This is standard. In the eight books I have written under my own name, I have reviewed all biographical information sent out about me either by agent or publisher. Like most authors, I have let a little fluff pass, but not much.

    The more you think about this, the more likely it's all another Obama lie appears. And if this were the first and only 'mystery' in the Obama narrative you might be able to shake it off like the drones do. But it's not. He's a proven scumbag on several fronts with several 180 degree off lies including verifiable facts about his family.

    Good thing the press will forever shill for him with cover fire and diversion. Y'all are racists!

    The key.

    And we all know the answer. Obama gets a pass for any atrocity up to a pogram on HIS cohort. Other cohorts, no problem.

    So explain to all us how that works.Birther's are dumb.So stupid they don't even
    deserve to be heard.Yet you can't seem to keep from bringing them up.
    Every time a Birther or even one saying stuff you find stupid,you can't help
    yerself.
    I mean ... like what do you do when you're at the Circus and that GUY with the big
    wide shovel is seen traiking a few elephants.
    Let me guess.You make sure to not leave the Circus grounds until you got
    HIS signature right.

    Cue a few hundred thousand videos of George Bush saying or doing something stupid or dumb.

    Honey...find another fight because this one won't stick. I know! Just go ahead and say you have Obama because he's black! That's pretty popular around here!

    I didn't vote for him last time, and don't plan to this time.

    would you like to answer the question now?
