The real question here is why the literary agent thought Obama was born in Kenya. Was she told that by Obama?
Have no idea what your talking about. Do you deny that there have been 39 straight months of an unemployment rate of 8%?
Yes, she was told this by Obama who thought that lying about being born in Kenya would increase sales of a book he wrote about being born in the US - it worked for John Grisham.
Do you believe anyone in this thread is really a birther? I think Tex and Basso just troll for laughs.
Maybe. It's definitely funny. I wouldn't paint myself as a person who believed the earth was flat or the sun revolved around the earth just for laughs, because of the way I would come off looking. But if some people get a laugh out of making themselves look like birthers, I'll laugh along and play that game with them.
The nubmers have ranged from something like 30-60% of all Republicans being confirmed birthers or "maybe" birthers - I have no doubt at all that some of the folks here are the same way.
Don't you just love these stupid ****s that start their sentence with “I’m not a birther. I believe the president was born in Hawaii" but then go off the deep end of the crazy pool? Arizona Goes Birther: Secretary Of State Says It’s ‘Possible’ Obama Won’t Be On Ballot The man in charge of running Arizona’s elections has gone to the birthers. Secretary of State Ken Bennett now says he’s not convinced Barack Obama was really born in the United States and so he is threatening to keep the president off the ballot in November. Bennett’s comments came in an interview late Thursday with conservative radio talk show host Mike Broomhead on Phoenix station KFYI. Bennett said he was following the lead of the state’s eccentric Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a fellow Republican who ordered an investigation into the president’s birth certificate last year and concluded the document released by the White House is a forgery. Bennett said he is now trying to get verification from state officials in Hawaii that the certificate is authentic. In doing so, Bennett caved to a fringe group of activists and writers who believe in a conspiracy theory that just never seems to die no matter how much proof they get. Hawaiian officials have said time and again that Obama was born there in 1961, yet the theory persists. Bennett, the state’s No. 2 elected official just below Gov. Jan Brewer (R), said his investigation isn’t personal. He said the reason he started looking into it is because he got more than 1,200 emails asking him to do so after Arpaio’s investigation came out. “I’m not a birther. I believe the president was born in Hawaii — or at least I hope he was,” Bennett said on the show. “But my responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure the ballots in Arizona are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking.”
of course that's where it came from. now the questions are- was he lying then or now, and to what purpose?
Probably he submitted it, and the person who edited it, misunderstood what was submitted and created the born in Kenya crap. That type of stuff happens frequently.
birther, you're jumping to all sorts of conclusions here without facts to back up your suppositions. There is no proof that Obama ever claimed to anyone he was born in Kenya.
No, someone misread "I was born to a Kenyan father, and grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, and mistook it to mean he was born in Kenya. I've already posted that in this thread. But please go ahead and jump to all the conclusions you like. You're coming out smelling like a rose in this thread.
