Over at Breitbart, they are featuring a 1991 pamphlet distributed by Barack Obama's publisher in order to promote the various books that they would be selling over the next year. Basically, the pamphlet is a group of short biographies of the authors that were working with that publishing group. Of course, the authors included Barack Obama who was hard at work on his first memoir. Here is the key language from the pamphlet:
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.
All I can say is OH NO! It actually says that Obama was born in Kenya. It was written in 1991, long before anyone cared where Obama was born, and it says he was BORN IN KENYA!!! I can't stand it! There are so many important issues that have to be discussed in the election, and now the issue of Obama's place of birth is back.
According to the article at Breitbart, Obama himself most likely approved the text of the short bio in the pamphlet before it was distributed. Nevertheless, that is not certain. Obviously, there are other mistakes in the write up. Obama's father was never the minister of finance of Kenya. He was, at his highest rank, a senior economist within the finance minstry, but that is a far cry from actually being the minister of finance.
I refuse to discuss this mess further.
