I'm not pushing the birther bullshite. I'm simply pointing out that it was started by Obama himself. Do you disagree with that?

No. I imagine she read some of what he wrote, which I'm sure mentioned the fact that the majority of his family is from Mombasa, and she made a mistake.

100% I do. The only argument for that is that Obama didn't have it corrected immediately.

Again, it was corrected when people made a big deal about it. We don't even know that he was aware at the time.

Is OP suggesting Trump's sources were legit?

It's not plausible that it was never a big enough deal to give a frick about, until it was, at which point it was corrected?


Thats ridiculous, and I suspect you know it.

Why would he not correct it before the information was published? To think that any person would not review information about themselves in a process that was meant to "sell" yourself for future advancement--a process that they are paying for--is simply not believable.

I thought it was explicitly proven the actual document was a fake...

It doesn't make Obama not eligible for POTUS, it just means it's a fake document

Everywhere else, Obama said that he was from Hawaii. So why did he choose this one source to switch it up? That would hurt his credibility, no?

You're assuming that it was even on Obama's radar and that he felt the need to have it corrected ASAP.


There is no "assuming" in the standard operating steps of having a professional bio constructed about yourself. If it was "off his radar" certainly one of his staff would have pointed it out.

You're making a case for Obama to be incompetent....more than once. The same claim was made in later publications when he joined the "New" Party in Chicago.

Because he's a malignant opportunist?

You thought wrong.

Joe Arpaio and Alex Jones are not exactly reliable on this.

Of course he's a whiny hypocrite he's always been a whiny hypocrite about virtually everything he talks about from outsourcing and illegal immigration to this.

It was later brought to his attention and it was corrected.

Before the book jacket came out, he said he was from Hawaii. Same with after. It makes no sense that he decided to be from Kenya for a month.

Please link the New Party information you mentioned.

Years later. The rest of that sentence is still not plausible imo. It implies that he..or on one around him, nor his staff picked up on the mistake. Sorry, that seems highly unlikely, don't you agree?

What staff are you referring to? He hadn't even graduated from law school yet.

And please link the information about the New Party that you always refer to. I've never seen that and would like to look at it myself.
