That is the only half-way credible argument I can come up with to explain why the literary agent wrote this, if in fact Obama is truly from Hawaii.

Or ... this fully-credible argument. Why would Obama not correct it? He'd never see it. It was an in-industry thing.

Breitbart News reports on a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency which describes the author as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
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."
Full disclosure: I am a client of the same literary agency.

The President is still black. Many Americans are still really pissed about that.
Note: Drudge knew that the story was false but put this out anyway, with Rush's endorsement. What sleaze.
Yes. Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Barack Obama
Senior. How could this mistake possibly have been made? Why, mistakes are
never made in industry promotional materials ....
But of course, the logical thing to freak about, would not be that Mitt Romney was born in Mexico, but that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.
