Obama born in Kenya states 1991 Obama booklet, Journeys in Black and White, Obama lied about place of birth, College records hidden because Obama lied?

“I do not know where Barack Obama was born. I do know that he has used taxpayer dollars to keep his records hidden.”…Citizen Wells

“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense,  to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells

“Why is Obama now employing private attorneys to keep his name on state ballots, despite compelling evidence that he is not a natural born citizen?…Citizen Wells

Obama has used extreme measures to keep his past hidden. We still do not know where he was born. All we know is that he has constantly lied about his past. That is why I have phrased the question above to include his college records. Perhaps Obama has lied in the past about being born in Kenya to get an advantage in college. We now know that the Ayers family referred to Obama as Kenyan.

From Breitbart Big Government May 17, 2012.

“THE VETTING – EXCLUSIVE – OBAMA’S LITERARY AGENT IN 1991 BOOKLET: ‘BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII'”

“Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

The booklet, which was distributed to “business colleagues” in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

It also promotes Obama’s anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.
Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):

Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.
The booklet, which is thirty-six pages long, is printed in blue ink (and, on the cover, silver/grey ink), using offset lithography. It purports to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Acton & Dystel, which was founded in 1976.

Front cover (outside) – note Barack Obama listed in alphabetical order

Front cover (inside)
Jay Acton no longer represents Obama. However, Jane Dystel still lists Obama as a client on her agency’s website.
According to the booklet itself, the text was edited by Miriam Goderich, who has since become Dystel’s partner at Dystel & Goderich, an agency founded in 1994. Breitbart News attempted to reach Goderich by telephone several times over several days. Her calls are screened by an automated service that requires callers to state their name and company, which we did. She never answered.

The design of the booklet was undertaken by Richard Bellsey, who has since closed his business. Bellsey, reached by telephone, could not recall the exact details of the booklet, but told Breitbart News that it “sounds like one of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel] twenty years ago or more.”

The parade of authors alongside Obama in the booklet includes politicians, such as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill; sports legends, such as Joe Montana and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; and numerous Hollywood celebrities.

The reverse side of the page that features Barack Obama includes former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and early-1990s “boy band” pop sensation New Kids On the Block.
Acton, who spoke to Breitbart News by telephone, confirmed precise details of the booklet and said that it cost the agency tens of thousands of dollars to produce.

He indicated that while “almost nobody” wrote his or her own biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom “the agents deal[t] with on a daily basis,” were “probably” approached to approve the text as presented.

Dystel did not respond to numerous requests for comment, via email and telephone. Her assistant told Breitbart News that Dystel “does not answer questions about Obama.”

The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not contradict the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. Moreover, several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.

The biography does, however, fit a pattern in which Obama–or the people representing and supporting him–manipulate his public persona.
David Maraniss’s forthcoming biography of Obama has reportedly confirmed, for example, that a girlfriend Obama described in Dreams from My Father was, in fact, an amalgam of several separate individuals.

In addition, Obama and his handlers have a history of redefining his identity when expedient. In March 2008, for example, he famously declared: “I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother.”

Several weeks later, Obama left Wright’s church–and, according to Edward Klein’s new biography, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, allegedly attempted to persuade Wright not to “do any more public speaking until after the November [2008] election” (51).

Obama has been known frequently to fictionalize aspects of his own life. During his 2008 campaign, for instance, Obama claimed that his dying mother had fought with insurance companies over coverage for her cancer treatments.

That turned out to be untrue, but Obama has repeated the story–which even the Washington Post called “misleading”–in a campaign video for the 2012 election.

The Acton & Dystel biography could also reflect how Obama was seen by his associates, or transitions in his own identity. He is said, for instance, to have cultivated an “international” identity until well into his adulthood, according to Maraniss.

Regardless of the reason for Obama’s odd biography, the Acton & Dystel booklet raises new questions as part of ongoing efforts to understand Barack Obama–who, despite four years in office remains a mystery to many Americans, thanks to the mainstream media.”

    OK from the article:

    What in the world does this mean!? Are these people really this stupid? Or do they really think people are that stupid? IF it were an error that is a pretty big error! I wonder what it’s going to take? how many more “unfortunate” errors is it going to take?

  2. The title of his book “Journey’s in Black And White” imply that it was some sort of autobiography, so WHY would the literary agent put out a promotional booklet that would contradict the contents of “his” book???

    The editors of Breitbart are on Hannity now debunking the Kenyan Birth tale. Their point is that bo has a history of fabricating his bio.

    Regardless of where bo was born or who his father is, the FACT is that bo forged his BC and SS Registration., i.e, he has committed crimes for which he must be indicted and convicted.

  9. I’ll agree with FS assessment.

    I thought the Breitbart article was openly trying to bend over backwards to lie and to protect Obama’s constant daily lies about his personal history as well.

    Can someone please get a screen shot of the headline at DrudgeReport.com right now that says “Obama Born In Kenya” that is there?

    “OBAMA LIT AGENT, 1991: ‘Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii’…”
    OBAMA – ‘BORN IN KENYA’ on:
    http://www.DrudgeReport.com

  11. Breitbart is saying that he is a fiction.

  12. The more I read from the folks at Breitbart and their failure to address the fake BCs of Obama, I can only conclude that perhaps the people with most to gain from Andrew Breitbart’s death are not those who one would initially think would be happy to be rid of Andrew. Just saying…when the cat is away (or eliminated) the mice will play.

  13. Paxson; I understand; I was addressing the pamphlet itself, the title of his book implies that it was an autobiography “Journey in Black and White”, at the same time reinforcing that he was born in Kenya…If he wrote an autobiography in 1990 stating that he was born in Keny and then pulled it? Did it go to print? What happened to his contract? Did someone advise him to pull it and re-write the fictional version?

  14. I am almost willing to think this is a very clever and cya presentation for Breitbart’s remaining cohorts to get the truth out in a way that they can sort of hide behind. Like they are saying: “Here you go folks. The truth is there. The guy’s a fraud no matter what his bc status is. Take it and make it your own.” They aren’t accusing him of not being born in the USA nor of having a fake bc. But they sure are letting everyone think on their own what the whole cache of info means. This is like putting a cherry on top of the pile of other facts that have been rolling out for years. Nice.

    If they were warned to back off or face dire consequences, this was a truly interesting way to push it out there for all to see. jmo.

    Pass the popcorn and beer, honey. It’s going to be an interesting night.

  15. AND it was written in 1991…WHO the hell writes an autobiography at 30???

  16. It will be fun to see how many news outlet never touch on this…

  17. This story has gone “viral”, it is every where…I bet Axelrod is wishing Ricketts went with the Rev.Wright ad to distract from this.

  18. At this point, Breitbart is looking pretty silly! I mean… “we were never birthers… as you know… we never believed that stuff that Obama might not be NBC… as you know… and Andrew talked to Sheriff Joe just hours before his death, but there was no discussion about his BC or SS registration… as you know… and anyone who disputes this is a racist… as you know… and the OBAMA LIT AGENT who said ‘Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya’, is a liar also…as you know…”

    If this is the best that the”New Media” can do? Poo on you, and your little dog too!

  19. Just saw Drudge. Well, well Obama’s either a Kenyan or a serial liar. The Drudge Report page would make a great bumper sticker. Gotta go start getting super together.

  20. Zach. I think that is Breitbart ‘s point. “Kenyan or serial liar” …

  21. Hannity seems to be making CYA statements about Breitbart story.

  22. Interesting. The booklet plus with the info that Grandmother was saying OB was born in Kenya builds the case that he was born there. Each state attorney general should get a copy to keep him off the state ballots.

  26. Breaking: Romney Has Officially Dropped Out!

    Fed up with lack of support for their Chosen One, “establishment” operatives have decided to bypass the Nevada Republican Party apparatus in favor their own “shadow state party.” In other words, they’ve dropped out of the official Republican race and are launching a new highly exclusive minority party in support of Mitt Romney.

    This is the first overwhelming public display we’ve seen that the establishment believes Romney is losing the nomination race and the first ever indication that he would consider running through a third party. The short term problem however, is an extension of the longer term problem that has plagued the entire Republican nomination process; “establishment” cheating.

    “The Hand of Clinton in Obama revelations?”

    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/05/the_hand_of_clinton_in_obama_revelations.html
    ——————————————————————
    Call me a conspiracy theorist — a tag that has lost much of its sting in the last few hours — but I sense the hand of Clinton. The Klein book, for instance, opens with an intimate meeting chez Clinton in which Bill encourages Hillary to do the seemingly unthinkable, namely challenge Obama in 2012. Someone at that meeting was allowed to talk to Klein, probably encouraged to talk to Klein. Indeed, the meeting may have been staged for Klein’s benefit.

    Obama had almost no chance of winning in November even before this revelation. Watch for the Hillary bandwagon to gather steam. She can be beaten in November, but it will not be easy.

    Obama’s literary agent says he was ‘born in Kenya’. How did the mainstream media miss this?

    Today, the President has satisfied all right-minded folk that he was in fact born in Hawaii. Breitbart.com itself has always rejected the absurd cult of birtherism. In fact, this story is really the opposite of birtherism – Breitbart infers that in the past Obama encouraged people to think that he was born abroad in order to establish an identity as an authentic, exotic voice in the debate on racial politics.

    Obama’s old literary agent has issued a terse statement to the effect that the wording was all her fault and she never consulted her client. If that’s true, she’s a bad agent. A different agent, quoted by Breitbart.com, disagrees. He told the website “that while ‘almost nobody’ wrote his or her own biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom ‘the agents deal[t] with on a daily basis,’ were ‘probably’ approached to approve the text as presented.”

    If we accept that Obama didn’t provide the biography, it would seem highly unlikely that he didn’t get a chance to vet it. Accepting that he didn’t do that either, it’s incredibly strange that the literary agent approached by Breitbart.com does not remember Obama calling the agency to register a complaint and make a correction. My mother spent a lot of her childhood in Grenada. If my literary agent told people I was born in the Caribbean, I’d at least pick up the phone to set the record straight.

  63. Who freakin’ knows where Barry Soetoro was born? That’s right, that’s Barack Obama’s REAL name. He changed it (apparently some time after meeting some Muslim friends in college), and just like his birth certificate, college application, and records in general, it’s also VERY difficult to verify. Our President, has reportedly spent upwards of one million or more, to keep his records, private. What are the odds that the book jacket of his 1991 book are wrong? There’s sooooooooooo much smoke here, that one would have to be a deaf, dumb, blind fool to think that we possibly haven’t been scammed, imo. What ever happened to the vetting process for our elected leaders?! ALL those seeks public office should have to release ALL of their vital/relevant records, BEFORE they run for office, NOT after, sheeesh!

  64. CitizenWells,
    Obama has claimed whatever gets him ahead. Race, religion, color, place of birth, it all doesn’t matter as long as it meets his desires at the time. I think that is what author’s are saying. I don’t disagree with this, as time and time again it has been proven as accurate.

    Most democrats are probably a little uncomfortable with this recent revelation. The hardened left wing nut, in no shape or form, can admit that the vile spew that they have brought forth in defending this lie is incorrect. No, I’m sure that they will attack the messenger, make counter-allegations, complain about printing errors and research errors……just about anything but demand the immediate release of Obama’s records and the TRUTH to come out.

    One difference between good and evil people isn’t that don’t make mistakes, but that good people try to correct the mistakes and see through to the truth. After nearly 4 years of asking by ‘Birthers’, it’s time people got to see and deal with the reality of whom Obama and the Democrats really are, not what they want everyone to see.

    My sentiments exactly. Thank you for summing it up in such a coherent manner, as usual.

    I don’t know where he was born, and I can probably say that he doesn’t either. He has everything sealed because nothing matches or makes sense. A complete composite, just like he wrote about his girlfriend.

    Unfortunately, I’m not surprised with the response by the MSM. Just another “mistake”, and another “coincidence” regarding the anointed one’s place of birth. I’m sure the WH will spin it the same way, or defer these types of questions to the BHO campaign headquarters, who will rely on the “mistake” excuse too. This elusive birth certificate, and the silence by those in the media is nothing more than a sign that objective reporting is a thing of the past in this country. Moreover, too many people are content to suck down the fodder spoon fed to them by the likes of Maher, Stewart, and the personalities (not journalists) on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, et al.

  74. It is interesting that they claim they got OB’s place of birth wrong and it just happens to be stated as Kenya. It could have been stated incorrectly as Vietnam, Canada, the UK, or Mexico or anywhere. Interesting it says Kenya. Someone is playing us for fools.

  75. Tina | May 17, 2012 at 11:57 pm |

    Right, Tina; it’s also interesting that this ‘mistake’ was allowed to sit from 1991 to 2007, isn’t it?

    Obama is caught, of course he would have his old publisher come out and say it was a misprint in effort to cover his butt!

    Does Obama lie?

    However, the misprint on the booklet lasted from 1991 to 2007!

    The year 2007 being the year Obama would begin campaigning for the Presidency! It didn’t seem there was any reason to correct his author BIO for his readers up until that time – why was it alright for him to be thought of by his readers, followers and business associates as having been born in Kenya from 1991 all the way up to 2007, having been 16 years – but not after that?

    No, I’m sorry, I’m a little too long in the tooth to buy that explanation!

    I don’t know if anything will come of this for Barack to be put out of and disqualified from office, as would be just! Especially in light of the falsified Birth Certificate that Sheriff Apaio, had examined so vigorously and found it did not pass one single authentic document test!

    What I do know is that elections are due on Nov. 6, 2012 and should by any chance an honest count of ballots actually be achieved by George Soros’s ballot counting company in Spain – Quite possibly the American people, will have the opporunity to show Obama that they are not quite as dumbed down or Gullible, as he and his shadow mafia bosses are!

    It is really strange how that statement ended! What I meant to type on the end of my note and observations was: “Quite possibly the American people, will have the opportunity, to show Obama, that they are not quite as dumbed down or Gullible, as Obama and his shadow mafia bosses believe the American citizens’ to be?

  78. Other “factchecking” errors in the Obama bio:

    Leaves Queen’s Hospital as official place of birth on Wikipedia biography for about three years.

    Tammy Duckworth story in Honolulu newspaper says he was born in Indonesia and not corrected for several years.

    Student newspaper at the high school where Obama’s half-sister worked says he was born at Queen’s Hospital.

    Kenyan Minister of Lands says he was born in Kenya.

    NPR says he was born in Kenya.

    Famous birther Michelle Obama says Obama’s mama was SINGLE when Obama was born and that Obama’s home country is Kenya.

    Half-sister Auma thinks Obama Sr.’s had two wives instead of three, when she was supposedly born to the first wife that she forgot to count.

    Kenyan Grandmother refers to Obama as a “son of the soil” in Kenya.

    Newspaper article claims Obama moved to Indonesia when he was 2 years old and that his father was Oxford-e

    Born in Kenya’: Obama’s Literary Agent Misidentified His Birthplace in 1991

    A possible source of the so-called “birther” issue–or at least a potential cause of the rumors that have dogged President Barack Obama–has been identified. Obama’s former literary agency misidentified his birthplace as Kenya while trying to promote the then-Harvard Law grad as an author in 1991. According to a promotional booklet produced by the agency, Acton & Dystel, to showcase its roster of writers, Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and…Full Story”

  80. Good Morning! I’ll read all your comments later. However, the Telegraph is asking the right question and here is a quote that I absolutely love and Larry Sinclair might want to call the Telegraph.

    “…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…”

  81. Mr. Bill(ms. helga)'s avatar Mr. Bill(ms. helga)

    The silence is deafening!!

    Curious – The literary agent was Acton & Dystel and the author of “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” was Lord Acton.

    This story has been buried by the MSM deeper than the “Guam Trench”!!

  82. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100158834/obama-used-to-be-a-kenyan/ If this had been anyone else, the literary agent who be on every morning show to explain. We’ll see. It is a very long stretch to believe Obama did not approve the bio.

  83. Wonder what Bret Brier is thinking this morning about his special panel to discuss who is a natural born citizen?

  84. My wife listens to NPR every morning. Usually I wear headphones. Not a word about Obama kenya birth discovery. Hmmmmmmmmm

  85. I would love to be a fly on the wall in every newsroom trying to decide how to quash this story.

  89. Breitbart is saying that she updated the bio 3 times and NEVER changed the birth place…She didn’t remove the bio until 2 months after Barack Hussein Obama entered the Presidential race in 2007.

  96. FS – This might be the tipping point in the Dem. Arkansas primary. It would be priceless if Obama lost Tuesday’s primary. Gotta go.

  97. If the MSM is not picking this up, then Hillary may not be behind it as some have thought. Don’t know. I wouldn’t put it past her, but I don’t see a rush by the media to get this info out there about the booklet.

    Also, it was the Obama friendly media that said Hillary would lie and say anything to get elected. Then they said McCain and Palin would lie and say anything to get elected. Actually, it now seems Obama will lie and do anything to get elected. JMHO.
