It doesn't matter whether those publications exist, fact is Obama had to have known about the error, yet he did nothing about it. And if he would have, then the birther thing wouldn't still have legs.The emails were anonymous and assumed to be from Clinton supporters.If the Hillary supporters didn't start the rumor and Obama wouldn't have lied to his literary agency about being 'Kenyan born', not correcting his lie until two months into his campaign, Jim Geraghty would've had nothing to go on. Don't try to excuse the left and Obama's hand in starting the conspiracy movement.No, Clinton did not start the birther movement. Anonymous emails believed to be from Hillary supporters questioned his citizenship. Jim Geraghty, a conservative blogger and contributed to the National Review formulated what is now thought of as the Birther Conspiracy Theory that Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.Why? Ask Hillary. She started the birther stuff back in '08. Don't recall now if it was before or after Cigar Bill opined to Teddy Kennedy...a few years ago this guy (implying boy) would be getting us coffee.
You can take the racist white boy dimocrat out of the south, buy you can't...
Barack Obama was still 'Kenyan born' in 2007 according to his literary agency...two months after announcing his bid for the U.S presidency
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the promotion booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself. A New York Times article about Barack Obama published in 1990, a year before the Acton & Dystel promotional booklet was issued, identified his birthplace as Hawaii.
It's not clear that in the 1990's, that Obama even knew about the error and even if he did, what reason would he have to get a piece advertising, probably long since discarded corrected. He was not running for president in the 90's, had ample proof of where he was born, and it wasn't even his mistake, so why bother.
Promotional Booklet
No way for Barack Obama Jr. to forecast in 1991 that there would be nutjobs who would be trying to find some excuse about why he must not be eligible to be President.
Every actual publication for distribution that mentions his place of birth from 1990 onwards shows his place of birth as Hawaii.
Birthers of course ignore those publications- and insist that an obscure pamphlet that no one even noticed is the Sekrit Smoking Gun!
