Let’s play a game and see who can most closely anticipate what the Obama administration will say.
I think they will say that Obama worked with the agent, but that the agent acted on his own authority concerning the bio, and was incorrect in his information.
Come on you guys. It’s a game. Let’s see who’s political savvy is most accurate. What will they say, if anything ? It may be so absurd that they choose not to respond.
Miriam Goderich issued the following statement to Political Wire:
“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. 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.”
From 2007, Mitt won’t answer the man in the wheelchair when he asks if Romney would have him arrested for using medicinal marijuana to combat the effects of muscular dystrophy. Won’t give a compassionate answer, won’t give a tough answer, just walks away like the coward he is.
“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.”
If the administration runs with this, then I think I am the winner of the game, even if Jason330 was the only other entry with, “You got me, I was born in Kenya”.
@x “From 2007, Mitt won’t answer the man in the wheelchair…”
It’s so easy to hate that candidate.
@fbh “If the administration runs with this…”
The administration isn’t running with anything. Your half-baked story is more likely the butt of jokes over cocktails. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the administration leaked this.
Some assistant who worked at the agency took blame for the Kenya mistake and said it was a “fact checking error” on her part. Now that should be your cocktail party joke, LE.
Anybody who has ever had an agent knows what a joke that is.
Rest in Peace, Donna Summer. Love ta love ya, baby.
Newest claim by birthers must be a hoax or type-o. Maybe an oversight. It means nothing, and it’s racist…… Am I right?

No. I think it is much more likely that he will say, “You got me. I was born in Kenya.”
Jesus you guys are stupid.
Hey, I’m just in it for the entertainment value.

What’s absurd is that you’re talking about a news story that doesn’t seem to be anywhere in the MSM.
How about providing a link? Or do I need to go to bithers_are_us.com??
LE: I believe the story is still breaking. It’s from Breitbart.
Well you just keep checking Breitbart, then. Holla at us when it stops breaking.
I’m guessing that most here haven’t bookmarked Brickbat (…ain’t he dead??).
Even the usual right wing sources (e.g. RCP) got nothing on this… Probably never will.
My guess is that there are journalists at RCP and others that will be getting home a little late tonight.
Well, that’s “news”.

All right, I’ll throw in too, then. I’ll go with “I can’t believe we’re even talking about this nonsense.”

I am moving all the Evan comments to the Evan thread.
