Literary agent's bio says Obama was born in Kenya

Discussion in 'Sports and News' started by Smallpotatoes, May 19, 2012.

  1. Seriously, would this be an issue if his name was Benjamin Harrison Oliver?

    But no, he has an African-sounding name and -- gasp! -- has a middle name of Hussein. Certainly, he can't be one of us. He must be the Manchurian candidate that for decades was slated to come. So let's forget that other 43 Presidents have origins from other countries or that the man the black man with the strange sounding name ran against wasn't born in the US. Surely, if he had won, there wouldn't have been a debate about that, now, would it?

    Birther, concerned, whatever. As this continues to be pushed, the root cause slowly no longer is about patriotism. It becomes abject racism.

    On second thought, I agree with Ragu. All this birther stuff really is Obama's fault.

    Which is deeply concerning.

    I am so concerned! Can't you see my brows furrowing?

    Big is most certainly right. This is deeply vexsome.

    I'd be curious to see what he listed on his college applications.

    I wonder if there was a bio of him from when he was at Harvard Law Review.

    Are we black?

    Yes, we are.

    Then we're awake ... but we're very confused.

    Yup. That's exactly what I said.

    The literary agent's great-great-great grandmother sold John Wilkes Booth his ticket to the play

    The literary agent assistant's grandmother wanted everyone to know the Titanic was her fault and only her fault. She forgot to check for icebergs.

    We also don't know that you've never left the bloody corpse of an intern behind.

    Come on, Ragu, don't you have more spine than this? Can you maybe enlighten me on how the papers ran his birth announcements at the time? And the delivery doctor's statements?

    I'm really surprised you'd spout this birther nonsense in any form whatsoever. I thought you were brighter than that.
