Barack Obama was either born in Kenya or he lied about it for years.
Breitbart.com published a 1991 booklet by Barack Obama’s literary agent today that says Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Here’s the clip from the booklet:

Well, the Breitbart report must have stunned the media because it took them several hours to jump to Obama’s defense.
The media blamed the publisher, not Obama for giving the publisher the information.

The Ticket reported:

A possible source of the so-called “birther” issue–or at least a potential cause of the rumors that have dogged President Barack Obama–has been identified.

Obama’s former literary agency misidentified his birthplace as Kenya while trying to promote the then-Harvard Law grad as an author in 1991.

According to a promotional booklet produced by the agency, Acton & Dystel, to showcase its roster of writers, Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

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.”

A copy of the booklet was published on Breitbart.com, under the headline: “Obama’s Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: ‘Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii’”–part of the “vetting” of the president the site’s late founder, Andrew Breitbart, had promised.

The publisher was using the bio for years. Obama never had the publisher correct the information.
It must have served him at the time.

Trayvon Martin had drugs in his system when he died.

The coroner’s report revealed that Trayvon Martin had drugs in his system the night he was shot dead by George Zimmerman. The police report also revealed that Martin was shot 1 inch to 18 inches away from George Zimmerman.
ABC reported, via Breitbart:

Two police reports written the night that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin said that Zimmerman had a bloody face and nose, according to police reports made public today.

The reports also note that two witness accounts appear to back up Zimmerman’s version of what happened when they describe a man on his back with another person wearing a hoodie straddling him and throwing punches.

It has been such a contentious case that even the evidence is being disputed…

…The autopsy also shows that Zimmerman shot Martin from a distance of between 1 inch and 18 inches away, bolstering Zimmerman’s claim that he shot Martin during a close struggle.

Martin’s autopsy report also revealed that there was a quarter-inch by half-inch abrasion on the left fourth finger of Martin, another indication of a possible struggle.

The teen, who lived in Miami, was in Sanford while serving a suspension for a bag of marijuana being discovered in his possession. Martin had THC, the drug found in marijuana, in his blood on the night of his death, according to the autopsy. His family told ABC News that it was “trace amounts” of THC.

Earlier today Breitbart.com published a 1991 booklet by Barack Obama’s literary agent that claimed Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

It’s not the only time Barack Obama claimed to be born in Kenya.

On Sunday, June 27, 2004, the AP published an article about “Kenyan-born Obama”.
The article can still be found in the internet archive.

“Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate”

Here’s part of the article:

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.

As far as we know, Barack Obama never refuted this article.

Reportedly a meeting was held in Turkey recently to discuss the situation in Jordan. The Muslim Brotherhood was in attendance and was asked about a possible role in a new Jordanian government. King Abdullah has been a staunch US ally for several years. Like Egypt’s Mubarak, Barack Obama is ready to throw him to the dogs.

What gall.
Obama called former US ally Hosni Mubarak after pushing him from office. Mubarak wouldn’t answer the phone. Mubarak is now on trial in Egypt.

Israpundit reported:

I have just received reliable information from a certain insider that a meeting was held two weeks ago in Turkey attended by the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar and CIA. Allegedly, Israel’s Mosad sat in as an observer. The attendees discussed what they want to happen in Jordan when the King falls.

The MB was asked specifically whether it would uphold the peace treaty with Israel if it came to power and they said yes. Furthermore the MB offered to take in many Palestinians from Judea and Samaria.

It struck me that this is exactly what Mudar Zahran is intending to do should he come to power. The MB is obviously following his playbook.

From a different source I heard that Obama is putting financial pressure on Abdullah so that he will fall. Obama wants to replace him with the MB.

With the exception of the Saudi King, Barack Obama has wiped out nearly all US allies in the region.

OBAMA BORN IN KENYA?

Drudge Headline:
OBAMA LIT AGENT SHOCKER: ‘BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII’

WOW!
1991 Booklet claimed Barack Obama was born in Kenya.
Breitbart reported:

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.

It also promotes Obama’s anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

Here’s the clip from the booklet:

Video Flashback: In 2006 Obama tells Kenyan audience he’s glad to be back home.
“I am so proud to come back home.”

Mitt Romney repudiates attack ads linking Obama to his mentor, Reverend Wright.

Well this is certainly disappointing.
Mitt Romney was notorious for destroying his Republican rivals in the primaries this year. Romney spent $14 million in his assault on Newt Gingrich in Florida alone.

But that was the old Mitt.
Meet the new Mitt. Kinder. Gentler.
Mitt Romney denounced the planned PAC attacks against Barack Obama today.
Townhall reported:
In an exclusive interview with Townhall, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney rebuked a conservative group that is reportedly planning to assail President Obama over his 20-year relationship with controversial Chicago pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright:

“I repudiate the effort by that PAC to promote an ad strategy of the nature they’ve described. I would like to see this campaign focus on the economy, on getting people back to work, on seeing rising incomes and growing prosperity — particularly for those in the middle class of America. And I think what we’ve seen so far from the Obama campaign is a campaign of character assassination. I hope that isn’t the course of this campaign. So in regards to that PAC, I repudiate what they’re thinking about … It’s interesting that we’re talking about some Republican PAC that wants to go after the president [on Wright]; I hope people also are looking at what he’s doing, and saying ‘why is he running an attack campaign? Why isn’t he talking about his record?’”

Donna Summer, the 1970′s disco queen, died today after a long battle with cancer. She was 63.
The New York Daily News reported:

Donna Summer died Thursday morning after succumbing to a long battle with cancer, TMZ.com reported. She was 63.

Born in Boston on New Year’s Eve 1948, Summer came to define the sound of late ’70s and early ’80s radio with hits including “Last Dance”, “Bad Girls” and “She Works Hard for The Money”.

The five-time Grammy winner leaves behind two daughters with husband, songwriter Bruce Charles Sudano, and another daughter from a previous marriage.

Year’s ago she released this hit–
“She Works Hard for her Money”

Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

Joe Biden lost it yesterday while speaking to a crowd of Kool-Aid drinking supporters in Youngstown, Ohio.
“They don’t know who we are!”

Joe was fired up. His rant didn’t make any sense, but he packed a lot of emotion into it. Not even that fly landing on his head could distract him from his crazy attack.
Yahoo reported:

At a campaign stop in Youngstown, Ohio, today, Vice President Joe Biden lit into Republicans and their presumed presidential nominee Mitt Romney for what he described as a failure to understand the plight of the middle class.

“I resent when they talk about families like mine that I grew up in. I resent the fact that they think we’re talking about envy: it’s job envy, it’s wealthy envy; that we don’t dream,” an impassioned Biden told a crowd of manufacturing workers.

“My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, that I could be, I could be vice president! My mother and father believed that if my brother or sister wanted to be a millionaire, they could be a millionaire! My mother and father dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams!

“They don’t get us! They don’t get who we are!” he yelled before the crowd, drawing loud applause.

Biden was referring broadly to Republican criticism of the administration’s push for higher taxes on wealthier Americans and expanded investment in federal programs aimed at boosting low- to middle-income families.

Actually, we do know who you are, Joe.
After three-and-a-half years of failed big government socialism, Americans have a very clear picture who we’re dealing with in the White House.
But nice try anyway.

They want “their” money! And, they want it now!
Facebook Inc. (FB) co-founder Eduardo Saverin announced last week that he will renounce his US citizenship before Facebook goes public this week. Saverin will save at least $67 million in federal income taxes by dropping U.S. citizenship, according to a Bloomberg analysis of the company’s stock price.

Of course, this has Democrats outraged. They want “their” money.
Democrat Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Bob Casey (D-PA) will propose a bill today to force those renouncing their US citizenship to pay taxes anyway.

ABC reported:

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a status update for Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never come to back to the U.S. again.

In September 2011, Saverin relinquished his U.S. citizenship before the company announced its planned initial public offering of stock, which will debut this week. The move was likely a financial one, as he owns an estimated 4 percent of Facebook and stands to make $4 billion when the company goes public. Saverin would reap the benefit of tax savings by becoming a permanent resident of Singapore, which levies no capital gains taxes.

At a news conference this morning, Sens. Schumer and Bob Casey, D-Pa., will unveil the “Ex-PATRIOT” – “Expatriation Prevention by Abolishing Tax-Related Incentives for Offshore Tenancy” – Act to respond directly to Saverin’s move, which they dub a “scheme” that would “help him duck up to $67 million in taxes.”

The senators will call Saverin’s move an “outrage” and will outline their plan to re-impose taxes on expatriates like Saverin even after they flee the United States and take up residence in a foreign country.

You see, Democrats don’t have a problem with the colossal US tax rates. They have a problem with those people who won’t willingly pay the exorbitant rates.
It’s an Obama world.

Shocking Video–
A father in Saudi Arabia auctions off his son as a suicide bomber at a hotel in Jeddah. The winning bid was 1.5 million Riyals ($400,000).

It was a party atmosphere.
Via Tundra Tabloids and ROP:

An unbelievable leaked video of an auction for a suicide bomber against Syria. This takes place in a hotel conference room in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The atmosphere is festive, and the audience has children in it. But the merchandise auctioned off is human flesh and blood!
