President Obama has never claimed he was born in Kenya. Never. You stooges should stay on Fox where everyone believes the same right wing sewage and bile. Honestly the intelligence of the right wing shows why they will always believe the most outrageous lies from republican liars running around. Now you people don't respect honest republicans who won't act like complete space cadets and talk like Sarah Palin. It is you nitwits who are what is wrong with this country. You think the Kochs have your best interests at heart. You think Romney isn't a corporate raider who will be Bush on steroids. America has been improving because President Obama and the Democrats provided the Recovery Act to keep people working in every state.

jgg - from the agent's company: "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." But I know you won't accept anything that doesn't support your agenda.

"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."

What a laughable statement! So she just figured, "okay, he looks black, the book is about his Kenyan father...I'll just say he was born in Kenya then." What's worse is Obama, who is certain to have read this did not bother to correct her, so what is it then:

Was Obama born in Kenya or is he clearly a liar! Doesn't matter...
he'll soon be gone anyway!

jgg - no, I'm saying his literary agent didn't get the info. An assistant did. And it didn't come from Obama, as they made clear. And I know you are an admitted birther from past posts, so I don't expect you to suddenly give it up and jump to the other side. Hence, you have an agenda to promote details that support your conclusion and deny details that oppose it.

Let's see, the literary agent's assistant is writing the bio and instead of type, "Born in Hawaii" she/he writes "Born in Kenya"..., yeah, sounds like a typo to me. How do you mistakenly write Kenya instead of Hawaii

One has to wonder at the naivete of the author. So the bio writer just happened to make up the place of birth as Kenya? And Obama did not see it for 16 years? What a coincidence. And Senator Obama again claimed that he was born in Kenya in a speech reported by AP in 2007. So let me tell you the truth. Writers write their own bios. Obama said he was born in Kenya. I want to see his Harvard application. I agree that Obama was born in Hawaii. I also know his SSN is BS as is his draft Registration. As for the BC, I want to see a certified copy just like every other residence in Hawaii can get just by requesting one. You know, the one with the actual certification on it and not a electronic simile. it is right there in the statutes. And it is white on black print, not green as are the current ones.
The reason he can't produce one is he has to follow the procedures set forth in Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-20. He was adopted by Soetoro and his BC was sealed. That was how he was registered and known at Punahou School.
Yeah. Birtherism is still around. And Obama is the cause.
Maybe it is aboutn time you actually start investigating rather than defending this fraud.

Right wing extremist idiots are birthers. You are the pond scum of this country. Just don't know how stupid you really are and how foolish you look to reasonable people. Birthers are the gift of Fox and other hate sources who can't think for themselves. With a mother born in the U.S.A regardless of where Obama was born he would be a U.S. citizen. That is why he is the President of the United States. He was vetted. You lunatics are just off the page moronic.

Gee CBS, your journalism integrity would make the Cuban Propaganda Organ, Gramma very proud. The old Soviet Union's Pravda would approve to. Deflect, lie, call people "birthers" to make "them" appear crazy right wing, right?

The problem is that Obama IS the original birther. He is the one who provides his bio info to the literary agent. Now, I can see that maybe Honolulu would get mistaken for Kihei, but KENYA????? And the so called "error" remained uncorrected DESPITE periodic updates UNTIL 2007,just before Obama's run for POTUS.

Obama is now cornered. Call birthers birthers, but Obama himself listed Kenya. So either he was born in Kenya or not? Aren't You, CBC the least bit curious to do some real investigative journalism? Even if Obama wasn't born in Kenya, then he LIED to create an image that would look good to the Faux Academics at Harvard and for his run in the Illinois state senate. Obama needs to answer some questions, and the media is now revealed to be true lapdogs for this imposter as they REFUSE to make a U.S. President accountable.

You missed something: "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."

Blows a big hole in your argument.

They didn't just make it up. But you'll have to ask them where they got it from.

So why hasn't the GOP made a federal case of it if Obama's born in Kenya? You know full well McConnell and the rest of the Obama Exit Team would be all over evidence of a Kenyan birth if there was anything legit here.

Yea, and the "most transparent" administration ever just happened to SEAL ALL documents pertaining to his past. Nothing to see! And simply a typo inserting born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. Move along birthers! Ha, ha.

Hillary Clinton did not start this birtherism. It came from the right wing extremists who will do anything and everything to get republicans into office for the billionaires against taxation, against regulations, against clean air, water and land, against oversight, against reasonable health care and against honesty. The Democrats are the only ones who work for the middle class and who do care about the truth.

Wrong. Barack Obama, the 1st birther, started it in 1991 claiming to have been born in Kenya! Removed from circulation in 2007 and all other records SEALED!

JustAGuyNamedLefty says:
It isn't the "birtherism" that is the issue. Geesh.

It is the possible fraud that Obama has perpetrated in his past. Perhaps even fraud to receive special consideration/compensation for being foreign. Maybe even criminal fraud.

It is about Obama being a liar. It is about the current President of the US being a liar.

It isn't birther. It isn't bitter.

It is about expectations of us having a leader who doesn't lie for personal advantage.

I don't want a liar for a President. Are you saying you are OK with having a dishonest person as President?

I have it from a very good source that Obama got into a top secret government time machine and went back in time to his birth date , put the ads in the paper and inserted the birth certificate in to the government file.

How is it "Birtherism" to ask why Obama's bio says he was born in Kenya, when we all know he was really born in Hawaii? How is it "Birtherism" to ask how this "fact-checking error" happened?

It is not. The author is a dolt. And Obama wrote that bio. Likely he was passing himself off as Kenyan bat the time to make the double-affirmative action play.

You're missing the point. The literary reference doesn't indicate that Obama was actually born in Kenya. But he seemed to want readers to believe that.

Like Elizabeth Warren.

Will CBS's & lamestream media religious obsession lies about and whoring for the Obamanation ever go away in its typically historically & Biblically illiterate antiChristian bigotry, common in our slide back into the intolerant preChristian barbarism whence Christianity delivered it.
