I'm suspicious that someone on his team released this just to get the Birther issue back on the agenda.

It is a little strange that this rather expensively-produced book contained such a significant alleged error. Even stranger, an associated website that went through 3 or 4 versions also contained the alleged error until just after Obama began his presidential campaign in 2007. Amazing coincidence.

Thanks Bijou for posting this.

Have been following Breitbart on this report. I find it fascinating, to say the least.

Will have to be a "driveby poster" on this and give you my 2 cents worth and then leave (relative visiting us til the 30th.) Will check in later tonight.

If, as I suspect, there really IS something of any substance whatever, to this re Obama ... all I can say is how wonderful it would be to be able to disqualify his two lefty Supreme Court Justice appointees ... Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor!!!

What a difference it could make to the future of our country without the two of them.

Rush had an interesting take on this today. He thinks that Obama may have claimed to have been born in Kenya at different points in his life in order to benefit from affirmative action, or to seem more exotic to publishers and others who wouldn't have taken him seriously otherwise. There may have been scholarships open to foreign-born students, for example, that he applied for. This may also be why he's hiding his transcripts, because the classes that he took were the typical remediation that we've come to expect from underachievers who get into schools that are beyond their capabilities.

One word: "Plastics." Oh, no, wait. I meant: "Collusion."

Now that's almost even more interesting than the idea of him actually being born in Kenya.
