Literary Agent Says 1991 Booklet was a Mistake
Breitbart News reports on a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency which describes the author as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
Miriam Goderich issued the following statement to Political Wire:
"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

I wouldn't exactly say mocking, but rather entertained by the topic. Bottom line:

That's your bottom line? You may want to bring evidence for it then.

To be fair, I am aware of no confirmed instance of Carter lying to the public.

Your "logic" is no adequate substitute for evidence, I'm afraid.

and if one actually believed he'd magically be "different", you were a naive fool

Obamas greatest crime is convincing a generation of young Americans to question that...

I regret the manner in which Obama provided our first major point of agreement.

Attacking Obamas many faults is more effective than reviving discredited lunacy.
