Promotional Booklet
Claim: A 1991 literary client list booklet listed Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya.
TRUE
Example: [Collected via e-mail, May 2012]
Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.
Variations: A variant of this item paired the image shown above with the statement "Big Oops! Harvard Law Review did not cleanse its 1991 yearbook which states he was born in Kenya." As noted below, the biographical sketch pictured above was put out by a literacy agency; it was not part of any yearbook published by Harvard.
Origins: In May 2012 the web site Breitbart.com published a copy of a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by the literary agency Acton & Dystel showcasing their roster of writers, among whom was a young man named Barack Obama. This booklet was of particular interest because it included a brief biographical sketch which described the future President as having been born in Kenya:
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. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago's South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.
Is this booklet evidence that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya? Not even the site that published it makes that claim, noting in a disclaimer that:
Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
... [W]e discovered, and now present, the booklet described below — one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review.
It is evidence — not of the President's foreign origin, but that Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the 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:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
"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," Goderich wrote. "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."

It was the company he wrote for.
It was up for decades. Only edited Kenyan birth out within a year or two of his run for president.
He knew. He either told them that. Or they guessed and he let them keep it up.
He either knew or should have known it was there .
No one (here) is saying it's conclusive proof obama was born in Kenya.
It is, however, the basis of the birther controversy. Created either by him or for him for his advancement, only removed when he thought he might want to be president.

Yeah, because it's not outside of the realm of possibility for someone working for the by times to fall on his sword for the first democratic president.Promotional Booklet

actually, i was thinking more warren vp..if you are watching, i'm hearing whispers of warren who will be formidable opponent of hilldawg.
magic florida 8-ball says: clinton is going to do the same thing that obama did. you can take that to the bank.
warren is already being heralded as surrogate.
2016? men be afraid; be very afraid.
what do you like about her?
dog whistle fail..have you ever registered for anything where they ask your race? she is proud of her lineage..at college, you don't get anything more (or ahead) for being a minority..it's the same pell grant to everyone who qualifies which is income based.
do you consider the bush admin to be the same as the obama admin? was there money in politics back when our founding fathers penned the constitution same as it is today? the evolution of politics has taken 350 years in this country..don't you think people set themselves up for disappoint no matter who is elected?
consider this: women in government and their respective golden ages: elizabeth I, queen victoria, elizabeth II.
men: why don't you all go on out huntin', fishin' and fartin'..let the women folk take care of things?
um, the presidential ticket?

Obama wrote his own literary bio. That is standard practice. He has been telling lies his entire life; surprise he is a politician. He probably used the Kenya lie to get into Harvard too.

Even if he didn't write it, there is no way it goes 20 some years of saying kenya without his knowledge.
The proof of that is the fact that it changed right when it had to.
