Note from Senior Management:
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.
Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.

It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.

It is also in that spirit that we 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.

Are people really that gullible? What does this have to do with his "public persona" and how is what is said in the one paragraph blurb any different than Obama's "public persona" now other than the erroneous mention of place of his birth?

What exactly is being debunked or surprisingly revealed in this "exclusive" story?

:facepalm:

:facepalm:

I read the article, and it seemed to be about how he marketed himself differently as a young law school grad compared to when he was campaigning for the presidency. I don't know the backstory about that publisher stuff that said he was born in Kenya...but if he never made a move to correct it then that means he was either being intentionally deceitful, or decided to let it ride and let people think he was foreign born..

or he was never told

but seriously, this is fucking dumb and irrelevant

People change over time, you say? Pre.posterous

[M-Unit]

aren't there enough things to critique the man about that are legitimate without going with this crap?

what about his drug policies. Guantanamo still in use, etc, etc

[pyramid]

So he's a big phony for not correcting a one paragraph blurb he didn't write in a little circulated pamphlet he probably never even saw?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Seriously, shit like this and whatever BS romney did in HS are as worthless as celebrity gossip. If TMZ covered shit as non-scandalous as this, 20+ years after the fact, they wouldn't exist. Only in politics can you get away with nonsense like this and pretend it is legitimate, worthwhile public debate.

We need to demand better. It's time to stop stop throwing food and acting like children. It's time to come sit at the grown up table and discuss some real shit like fucking adults.

right, there are perfectly valid reasons to dislike his administration. it's the fact that people keep bringing this shit up as if it matters that annoys me. it distracts from actual issues

that one light col that refused to deploy because he considered it an illegitimate order. if you're going to derp that hard you should probably not be in charge of people

[Vote McCain!]

i saw breitbart in the URL and know it was total

[damo]

fuck off with ur veiled garbled misconstrued threads. Obama is a great man and president. if you cant respect that then who can you be trusted to respect. period.

plz?

For anyone stupid enough to have taken this story at all seriously (cough s0me0nesmind1 cough)

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.”
