Nothing’s changed

The latest revelation is all over the Internet:

The booklet in question appears to be fact. Still, I don’t see it doing anything except showing Hussein to be a liar. All but the dumbest ostriches already knew that.

As I understand the booklet’s implications, Hussein’s citizenship is not in doubt. It never was in doubt because his mother was American. Hussein & Company can still maintain that one American parent makes him eligible for the presidency. Nothing has changed there. In fact the booklet says:

The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'

If he was born in Kenya the 1961 records from the American Embassy will show it. I’ve been saying that very thing for years, yet no one else mentions it. Maybe the booklet will be incentive enough to check embassy records?

Literary agency explanation raises more questions than it answers on Obama Kenya birth assertion
Thomas Lifson

Miriam Goderich, who was identified as the person who edited the text of the 1991 brochure listing Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya, has issued a statement that seeks to accept personal blame for the "mistake" but which only raises more questions. The statement was sent 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."

Okay, fine. But a fact-checker does not make up text. A fact checker receives a text written by someone else, and then determines whether the factual assertions are based on the verifiable truth.

So the question remains: who submitted the text that was insufficiently fact-checked by Ms. Goderich? Who, in other words, first offered the assertion that Barack Obama was born in Kenya?

One must ask who on earth other than the client himself, Barack Obama, would have had the data upon which to assert that Barack Obama was born in Kenya? If that person was not Obama, then why would such person believe that Obama was born in Kenya? Recall that at the time, Obama occupied no political office, and had been in the public eye primarily because he was the first black person elected president of the Harvard Law Review. It seem very likely that Barack Obama himself supplied the information. Who else would be in a position make such an assertion? Who could have supplied such "mistaken" information to the literary agent?

Good thread. In any case, we can fire this horrible POTUS in November.

 

Sure is...especially when there's another thread on here that negates it.

Mods: Why do you allow dupe threads? Is there a way to combine them?

 

To Trinnity: Thank you kindly.

That’s assuming Romney does not blow it. If he picks Rubio for his V.P. he might lose more conservative eligibility-doubters than he gains among Hispanic voters.

By the way, I have not seen a poll asking conservative Hispanic-Americans how they feel about the eligibility question?

To Not The Guardian: You must spend a lot time checking all of the threads in the other forums looking for duplicates. Or do you find a thread you do not agree with and then go searching for another thread to justify your complaint?

Even if there was a duplicate in this forum, I would not have debated somebody else’s thoughts on this topic.

And let’s forget the filter. How do you know the author of the thread you like is not in my filter?

To SFJEFF: What’s your point? Did you get the quote from #2 permalink? Or did you respond without reading the update?

 

No. Unlike some people, I'm capable of reading.

I've noticed a certain tendency on the part of some right wingers on this forum to just start another topic on the same subject after being proven wrong rather than rattle on in the same thread.

This particular topic was in (at least) three threads, two of which were combined. I guess, due to lack of interest, this one was left alone.
