Ahh, I see you chose F. 
Damn them right wingers! "Lemmie reword it as R cuz I dont have the eggs to say “it’s a speeeeracy!.”
So how does this blurb written by a third party trump the correct information Obama wrote himself in the book? Did he originally write in his book that he was born in Kenya, and then change that later too?
Otherwise, this is an example of a flunky copywriter at an agency who doesn’t apparently care much for details when reading the books junior senators. It’s also an example of Obama opponents straying off of Romney’s “the economy sucks balls” message, so by all means continue spreading this shit. And post more ridiculous threads like this one everyday until the election.
I doubt very much that any of the items on your list, other than the first one, are true. Authors tend to have very little input on how their book is packaged and marketed. The author bio was probably written by a flunky who skimmed the first ten pages, and wasn’t vetted by anyone outside of checking for spelling and grammar mistakes. Odds are good Obama never saw it until it was published.
No. I did not posit the existence of some vast right-wing conspiracy.
That would take a significant amount of actual work and talent to accomplish.
It is much easier to attribute laziness and narcissism to the current Congressional leadership than anything resembling consensus seeking behavior.
And, the letter ‘R’ was the next one in line to be taken. I was going to say
R)idiculously this is still an issue, at least according to some.
Perhaps that would have been wittier.
That is our goal here, isn’t it?
Yeh, yeh, that’s just what Breitbart said . . . or seemed to be saying . . . it’s hard to tell.
Every successful politician’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times, Mr. Breitbart; it’s kosher. (Only exception I can think of is Biden . . . dunno how he lasted this long . . .)
Not that that excuses an actual lie about the basic facts of one’s past. But, in this particular instance, well, I can’t see what practical reason Obama might have had, in 1991 or any other year, to falsely claim Kenyan birth. A subordinate’s fact-checking mistake seems to be the choice of Occam’s Razor.
Then what do you call something that is obviously mistaken?
And to me, it’s a stretch to imagine that the assistant is the only one who saw it…not one single person who knew O’s biography better saw the thing and said ‘Hey, waitaminit’ for years…
Now maybe that’s just exactly what happened, but it just makes my brain itch.
Since it can’t really be proven either way, and it’s not extraordinary important to me, I give up.
Oh yeah…and I gotta pack to go to Florida. Bitches 
Which means your position is either D (an amended version which doesn’t include the provisions apologising for birther nonsense) or F according to the OP. In all honesty, I think you can agree that if this were common knowledge before the 2008 elections, the birthers would have added it to their pathetic arsenal then and it would have been refuted just as quickly.
In my humble opinion, the birthers are full of
S) hit.
Have you ever had a literary agent? Have you ever had an agent of any kind?
Let’s try an experiment. Grab a novel you know well, and read the blurb on the back. Then report back, and tell us if it’s: (a) full of errors, or (b) a faithful summation of the contents of the book.
And yet another - from your quote
Obama moved to Chicago after getting his law degree. Saying he was raised there is a bit of a stretch.
Given two obvious errors in one sentence, it isn’t exactly a stretch to assume a third. The only miracle here is that this clown got Hawaii right.
Quite a conspiracy when Obama carefully disguises his true birthplace in his book but blabs it to his agent. Agents are well known for making NSA employees look clike blabbermouths. And then not checking it.
How dare they not be aware that this guy (was he even in the state legislature then?) was going to run for President 17 years later. I bet they put their top PR guys on it.
Exactly how many people do you think studied the publicity material years later? If Obama even saw it, it was probably after it went out, where doing the correction would have just pointed out how incompetent the guy who wrote it was, not to mention being expensive. And who do you think would have cared?
Does astrology make your brain itch also? Because it is more believable than this being part of the great conspiracy.
T) he product of the same amazing document forgery system that faked Obama’s birth certificate and false Honolulu newspaper birth notice. It doesn’t have a political agenda, it just springs into action every time an Obama document appears.
Come to think of it, with all that turning over rocks and interviewing Obama’s Kenyan relations and dissecting the published BC for signs of forgery, how did they miss this?! Epic fail, Orly! We’re disappointed in you! :dubious:
[shrug] It has more objectivity and much, much more credibility than WND, at any rate.
V) ery stupid people keep using very easily-explained events to craft a story of some sort of conspiracy to put Obama in the White House that started in the delivery room at the moment of his birth.
W) ell, looks like this was a tempest in a teapot.
How the heck does something like that show up now?
Whether it be the evil birther types or the fair and balanced media, is anybody doing their job ?
What would you all think if the latter had the booklet but didn’t think it was news-worthy?
If anyone had the booklet and didn’t think it was newsworthy I would agree. The bottom line is that this booklet could say Obama was born on Mars and it wouldn’t matter since he has a valid Hawaii birth certificate. The birth certificate proves this booklet was incorrect, so anyone that thinks the booklet is correct is most likely willfully ignorant or intentionally dishonest about the topic. The only way it is newsworthy is if one thinks it’s appropriate to try and convey lies or inaccuracies as true.
