Obama Bio Said He Was Born in Kenya

[Rupert Pupkin]

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just reporting the story. Obama's literary agent published a booklet that included a biography of Obama. It read:

"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."

Now, of course the Obama literary agent who published the booklet back in 1991, claims that the part about him being born in Kenya was a mistake. If it was a mistake, Obama would have obviously had them correct it. I always try to be open-minded about these things. The only possible argument I can come up with to explain this (assuming that Obama was really born in Hawaii) is that at the time(1991), Obama thought it would look good to claim he was born in Kenya.
