The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii' (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/The-Vetting-Barack-Obama-Literary-Agent-1991-Born-in-Kenya-Raised-Indonesia-Hawaii)


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.
One would assume Obama had the opportunity to proof the copy before his agent published the pamphlet.

Can't wait to hear this explanation.

Where'd they get the idea Obama was born in Kenya?

I know they're claiming it was a mistake but a mistake means you make a typo, get a date wrong, misspell the author's name, or some other fact.

I know you're not interested but, that literary agent's submission policies have been posted online already and, according to the rules in 1991, the AUTHOR wrote and submitted their own biography in third person.

Other literary agents and authors have already ridiculed this "mistake" explanation as being ludicrous to anyone familiar with how such pamphlets are derived.

Also, the biography was reproduced for as long as Obama was represented by them for whatever project warranted -- not once was the biography corrected nor is there any indication Obama asked for a correction.

I would think a press curious enough to run the Seamus saga for days and to try and make a case for Romney being a bully out of an 48-year old incident would be similarly curious about something this, well, curious.

Either Obama was born in Kenya -- as is claimed in a biography he submitted -- or he's a pathological liar that claimed he was born in Kenya for some reason that suited him at the time.

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.

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "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."

He generally believes that the majority of people on the other end of the political spectrum from him are moronic scumbags, and out to inadvertently or even actively destroy the country.

To fight this, he counters his perception of that belief system "by any means necessary".

This includes, but is not limited to threads just like this that are cynical attempts to manipulate others, in a manner not unlike your average sociopath.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

Barrack Obama

"It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.

The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.

"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."

The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.

The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.

"Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state," she said.

As recently as Thursday, spokesmen for the Ryan campaign still insisted that Ryan would remain in the race. Ryan had defended himself saying, "There’s no breaking of any laws. There’s no breaking of any marriage laws. There’s no breaking of the Ten Commandments anywhere."

Munitions Found in Iraq Meet WMD Criteria, Official Says (http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15918) (U.S. Department of Defense, June 29, 2006)

The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.

"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.

The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.

The munitions found contain sarin and mustard gases, Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said. Sarin attacks the neurological system and is potentially lethal.

"Mustard is a blister agent (that) actually produces burning of any area (where) an individual may come in contact with the agent," he said. It also is potentially fatal if it gets into a person's lungs.

[...]

...the agent remaining in the weapons would be very valuable to terrorists and insurgents, Maples said. "We're talking chemical agents here that could be packaged in a different format and have a great effect," he said, referencing the sarin-gas attack on a Japanese subway in the mid-1990s.

This is true even considering any degradation of the chemical agents that may have occurred, Chu said. It's not known exactly how sarin breaks down, but no matter how degraded the agent is, it's still toxic.

"Regardless of (how much material in the weapon is actually chemical agent), any remaining agent is toxic," he said. "Anything above zero (percent agent) would prove to be toxic, and if you were exposed to it long enough, lethal."

Though about 500 chemical weapons - the exact number has not been released publicly - have been found, Maples said he doesn't believe Iraq is a "WMD-free zone."

"I do believe the former regime did a very poor job of accountability of munitions, and certainly did not document the destruction of munitions," he said. "The recovery program goes on, and I do not believe we have found all the weapons."
Are you volunteering to test their lethality? Maybe we should give then to children to play with as they are obviously harmless?

This is true. Saddam still had some WMD that we found. It's not what was being sought after. Like I said, technically he still had it. It is still very possible the good stuff was hidden well, or moved to Syria.

When I call you a loon or crazy or the like, its because of your admission that you have a axis 1 mental disorder. You can try and call me retarded but I do not meet that definition. If anything is retarded it would be you if you are indeed correct in your self diagnosis. If you indeed have aspergers that means your brain did not develop to be able to discern things like nuance, emotional cues and the like. It is a autism spectrum disorder.

As I said before a self admitted axis 1 disorder sufferer really shouldn't throw out insults such as retarded because that means that your brain did not develop normally and you lack the cognitive abilities that typical humans enjoy ie you are retarded. You like talking about definitions. Well that is the irrefutable definition according to the DSM.

Tests Confirm Sarin in Iraqi Artillery Shell (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120268,00.html) (Fox News, May 19, 2004)

Tests on an artillery shell that blew up in Iraq on Saturday confirm that it did contain an estimated three or four liters of the deadly nerve agent sarin [...]

...two U.S. soldiers were treated for minor exposure to the nerve agent.

[...]

The soldiers displayed "classic" symptoms of sarin exposure, most notably dilated pupils and nausea, officials said. [...]

The munition found was a binary chemical shell, meaning it featured two chambers, each containing separate chemical compounds. Upon impact with the ground after the shell is fired, the barrier between the chambers is broken, the chemicals mix and sarin is created and dispersed.

Intelligence officials stressed that the compounds did not mix effectively on Saturday. Due to the detonation, burn-off and resulting spillage

- Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.

- Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.

- Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.

- The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.

- The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.

- It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

Not my favorite program. Have you heard of them? I'm surprised if you have. Maybe there is a different Mark and dave you are thinking of.

These two are a local Portland talk host team. They usually take on opposing sides of the things they talk about. Not my favorite by a long shot, but they are fun to listen to at times.

lol seven distinct but utterly forgettable reasons

Did I say forgettable?

Serously. Congress hads investigated presidents for less.


lol drinking alone

Tonight, yes. You simply don't know the exceptionally unusual day I had, and don't ask. I'm not telling.

Besides...

It's fun to try to drink and drive... on Grand Turismo 5.

Damn... that Chaparral 2D Race car Sure loses grip from the rear end easy.

Only a three speed transmission as well.

Wish I could put a six speed in it.

It's important to keep in mind that post Civil Rights Act most of the old Democratic guard migrated to the GOP. They still behave in much the same way in trying to set up technical and institutional barriers. It should be little surprise that they try it again.

Poll taxes, district gerrymandering, Jim Crow, etc are all the progeny of that political entity. A black man becomes president: lets try and find an institutional barrier to remove him.

Let's be clear, I do not think that most of the people here in this thread if any fit amongst the elite from which such notions spring. It's much the same as the dynamic between the rich landowners vis-a-vis the sharecroppers and small farmers of the old south. They are just good minions parroting the same 'values.' You can see it in the rhetoric they mime.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Admits Using Taxpayer Funds To Pursue Birther Conspiracy Probe: ‘So What?’

http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/SafariScreenSnapz003.png

ss on May 22, 2012 at 1:02 pm

In the year since President Obama released his long-form birth certificate, tax payers are partly-funding Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigation into whether or not the president was truly born in the United States.

The Arizona Republic and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser report that two men identifying themselves as Michael Zullo and Brian Mackiewcz arrived at the Hawaii Department of Health on Monday and requested verification of Obama’s birth. They left after a Hawaii deputy attorney provided them information on the legal requirements for obtaining that documentation. Zullo is a volunteer in Arpaio’s inquiry, but Mackiewcz provided a business card identifying him as a public employee who works in the Threats Management Unit of the sheriff’s office.

Arpaio, who has previously claimed that the investigation was being funded through private donations, dismissed concerns about tax dollars funding the conspiracy quest and said “he hopes the agency will be paid back through private donations”:

“It’s one deputy, so what? We have security issues, too, that I can’t got into,” Arpaio said on Friday. “For six months we were not spending any money. When you’re doing investigations sometimes things change, you put more resources into it.”

“He’s not going to make any arrests,” Arpaio said. “I didn’t say we’re going to keep using him. We’re not going to use him constantly. He’s not assigned to it. For this trip I feel it’s important to have a deputy there. He’s just a liaison to give advice if needed. He’s not doing anything. The posse’s been doing the research. I’m not going to say what other trips they’ve been taking but they haven’t had a deputy with them.”

Ken Bennett, Arizona Secretary Of State, Backs Away From Birther Request

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett backed away from his birther-fueled request to verify President Obama's birth certificate with the state of Hawaii, telling a Phoenix radio program that he was sorry for any negative attention he may have brought to the state.

"If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasn't my intent," Bennett said Tuesday during an interview with radio station KTAR, adding that he was just trying to "help as many Arizonians as I can" by looking into their concerns over the document.

Bennett also walked back his threat to keep Obama off Arizona's ballot this fall.

"He’ll be on the ballot as long as he fills out the same paperwork and does the same things that everybody else has," Bennett said.

However, when pressed by the radio hosts on whether he was pandering to birther conspiracy theorists who believe the president was born outside the United States, Bennett pushed back.

"What is so sacred or untouchable about this question that you can't even ask the question?" he said, after insisting that he himself does not subscribe to the fraudulent birth certificate theories.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/23/ken-bennett-birther_n_1538160.html?ref=topbar

So he ain't really sorry anyway, and says questioning Obama's birth cert is fair game. GF AZ, NV, OK, KS, what a bunch asshole govts and politicians.
