Breitbart.com on Thursday published part of what it says is a 1991 promotional booklet from Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, describing the the future president as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

The 36-page Acton & Dystel booklet was reportedly distributed to “‘business colleagues’ in the publishing industry,” according to Breitbart, and includes a short biography of Obama and 89 other authors. Obama’s biography features a brief mention of his anticipated first book, “Journeys in Black and White,” which he never completed:

Jay Acton, who no longer represents Obama, told Breitbart News “almost nobody” wrote their own biography for the booklet, though said the non-athletes whom “the agents deal[t] with on a daily basis“ were ”probably” approached to approve the text.

Acton’s former partner Jane Dystel still lists Obama as a literary client, but did not respond to Breitbart’s requests for comment.

The text editor of the booklet, Miriam Goderich, also did not return requests for comment, though booklet designer Richard Bellsey told Breitbart it “sounds like one of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel] 20 years ago or more.”

(Editor’s note: Goderich has since said the biographical line was “nothing more than a fact checking error.”)

In a “senior management” note, Breitbart.com stated it 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.”

The booklet, the post stated, is evidence “not of the President’s foreign origin, but that Barack Obama’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.”

Next you know he going to be 1/32 Cherokee.

He's probably more "Indian" than native american.

That was in reference to the Elizabeth Warren stuff that came up where they found out she got into 2 high end colleges by listing herself as Native American. Closest anybody could tell, she could be remotely possibly 1/32 Cherokee. She's Whiter than most whites.

yeah, i been lmao at Glenn Beck everyday about that story. Seems like the "Birthers" always get laughed at because there are so many conspiracy nuts mixed in with them, but I honestly don't know what to think about it. I lean toward him being born in Hawaii but who knows. Its so easy to fake documents and records from so long ago. This does go to show one of two things: either Obama knew of this and made no objections to it because it was true, or Obama knew of this being incorrect and purposefully didn't have it changed so he could ride the "successful immigrant" fame train.

it will never go any farther than the news anyway

Either way its a joke. To much bs already and election is just around the corner.

Well maybe one day in the future we will know the truth and if it co
Es out be was born in Kenya, then Maybe every piece of legislation with his name on it will be reversed? I guess that's just me hoping for change.

[kokopelli]

WND has been reporting on this- he also claimed Kenyan birth in 2003

[ssracer]

if there is one thing we DO know about him is that he will "claim" anything at any time to gain the backing of whatever his audience

Just to set the facts straight, Glenn Beck has never been a "birther". His official stance seems to be that the guy was born in Hawaii. He said recently about this issue that he believes, since Obama was unknown at the time, that they used this bipgraphical story about him being born in Kenya to make him more marketable to his audience. Made the mystique better for the dumb asses that would read his book I suppose.

If he was not born in Kenya, he has pretended to be when that purpose suits him.

Yeah maybe what I meant to say want very clear. Glenn Beck is one who laughs at the "birthers". I get about an hour of GB daily on my drive home.

Just the other day he was talking about how when Clinton started the whole birth issue he had Stu (I think) try and research it for a month and see if there was anything to it. He said there wasn't so from that point on he hasn't been a "birther". But seems kinda dumb to me to dismiss this when STUFF IS STILL COMING OUT 3 YEARS LATER!!! I mean seriously? Obama has fueled this fire by not showing the birth cert right away and by marrying an america hater and listening to hate america speech every sunday and calling it church. I don't care where Obama was born, he isn't very american in my eyes.
John McCain wasn't even born on US soil but he is (obviously) 10 times the patriot obama is, even though I don't like his politics either.
The born in US requirement for president assumes that someone who is born here will be loyal to the US but nowadays its so easy to be a citizen of the world I don't think that applies any longer.

Agreed.

Too much smoke around this issue not to be a fire somewhere. And you are right on about his anti-America sentiment, regardless of where he was born.

If he was born here, he fraudulently stated that he was not to go to school as well as get other perks.

bastard.
