According to archive.org, a website that caches websites on a regular basis, the Dystel.com website – the official website for Dystel & Goderich, Obama’s literary agents – was using the Barack Obama “born in Kenya” language until April 2007, just two months after then-Senator Obama declared his campaign for the presidency.

Archive.org shows that the Dystel website used the following biography for Obama as of April 3, 2007:

BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.

Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007.

By April 21, 2007, the Obama bio had been changed to state that Obama was born in Hawaii:.......

Garbage in, garbage out still applies to some items on the Internet. The Internet never forgets, but it often gets the facts wrong.

I am not sure how I have anything invested in President Obama winning in November that I know about anyway. I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. Barack Obama got my vote in 2008 mainly because I did not want Sarah Palin anywhere near the Oval Office desk. She has true grit but not much of anything else in the way of being qualified to be President of the United States.

I have to see the debates and who is debating against VP Joe Biden before deciding anything.

And so there you go....just a coincedence !!

Now, with all the links that Taltarzac725 shares with us , he just told us to ignore them because it probably is garbage.

Funny how garbage seems to have a political slant !

And the timing of this garbage is simply amazing

This, of course, brands you as a flamming left wing liberal according to our right wing friends. According to them anyone who dares to think through the process and not simply vote the republican line, is a socialist. Just thought you should know where you stand.

My links are usually to Wikipedia, reputable newspapers or magazines, or other sites. They are not to blurbs used to sell books probably written by a copy writer from some cheap advertising company.

I would hope that one of you who seem to enjoy making light and mocking will advise us which of the new information today you dispute and why !!!!! All is consistent with his entire life of lying about his life.

divert and ridicule..........................

..............again, and again...............the beat goes on.

First of all, WIKIPEDIA is certainly not even close to reputable.

Now, which links are you making fun of specifically....the one to the advertising firms home page ? The New York Times ? Who exactly are you mocking ?

RUBICON...thought you might like this..

"Whatever you think of Breitbart.com’s punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart’s revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they revealed tomorrow that he’d had his own cross-dressing-themed sitcom on primetime TV in the 1980s, I wouldn’t be surprised."

Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this? – Telegraph Blogs

GREAT article filled with logic and not emotion......

"Look beyond the sordid details and the big story here is that this nugget wasn’t part of the wider discussion had back in 2008 about Obama's background and credentials. And why not? The documents were easy to find – the one that showed that “born in Kenya” was still being used in 2007 was on the Internet."

It is a great read...do not want to fill this with quotes but worth the read

Legal records from state agencies, backed up by local newspaper listings from 50 years ago are ignored.

A pamphlet written by an agent that has no corroborating evidence is taken as gospel truth.

Are birthers THAT desperate? It reminds me of other arguments - anything that doesn't correspond to a pre-conceived position is a hoax or irrelevant. That which DOES agree, well, that's the divine-inspired truth.

My thrust is the failure of the media..you make of it what you like. I am disgusted with a President who offers a bribe to shut up....a President who will say that Wright s problem is that he always wants to tell the truth,,,,A president who has all this in his closet and you and nobody seems to care, HOWEVER our media will spend days on Romneys high school days

I used to always say I respected this man...I do not any longer...and you folks who worship despite what has AND I BELIEVE, will come to light are the lemmings. Make light of me if you wish...your opinion carries no more weight than I and I distrust him not only in policies but as a man..he lies and decieves.....and you defend that....

I might ask you, djplong, who knows all.....where did the Kenya come from originally do you suppose ? Made up for some purpose...hmmmm speaks well of the man dont you think...lie in your own autobiography....lie about your grandmothers insurance. This is the kind of man you want in the WH ?

Drums keep pounding rythm to the brain!!!

Bucco, your wiggling around like you've done again in this asinine thread is completely tiresome. You've spent four or five heart-rending posts raving about the President's 'lies' about his birth, then, when the whole birther thing is ONCE AGAIN blown out of the water, you claim your real thrust is the "failure of the media". It's time to admit you can't resist contributing even what ends up as pure BS, as long as it gives you another chance to rail about the the 'lies". You're emotions have taken over any objectivity and credibility you've had. And that's especially unfortunate for someone who seems to make political commentary here their full-time job.
