Barack Obama's biographical brief edited repeatedly over 17 years, but 
Kenyan birthplace changed just weeks after his presidential run announced

The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified 
his birthplace as "Kenya". And, over the course of 17 years, despite 
multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a 
fundamental part of the bio on the agent's website.

I've used the Wayback Archive to explore the exact transformations of 
Obama's biography on his agent's site (click on any of the thumbnails to 
zoom to a readable size).


On June 27, 1998, the website read: "BARACK OBAMA was the first black 
president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American 
anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in 
Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book is DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: 
A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE."

The Obama entry remained unmodified (e.g., June 6, 2002) until sometime 
around December 9, 2004, when it was modified to read: "BARACK OBAMA is 
the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, and was the dynamic keynote 
speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the 
first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born 
in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, 
and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS 
FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, is a New York Times 
bestseller."

On February 10, 2007, Senator Barack Obama formally announced his 
candidacy for the Presidency.


On April 3, 2007, the website read: "BARACK OBAMA is the junior 
Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at 
the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first 
African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in 
Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and 
was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS 
FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time 
New York Times bestseller."

Sometime between April 3rd and April 21st, a member of the Obama 
campaign staff (or Obama himself) noticed the discrepancy in birthplace 
that would presumably disqualify the Senator from office.

On April 21, 2007, the website read: "BARACK OBAMA is the junior 
Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at 
the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first 
African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in 
Hawaii to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and 
was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS 
FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time 
New York Times bestseller."


On June 14, 2007, the website read: "BARACK OBAMA, the junior Democratic 
senator from Illinois, is currently campaigning to become the 2008 
Democratic presidential nominee. He was born in Hawaii to a father who 
was raised in a small village in Kenya and a mother who grew up in 
small-town Kansas. Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and 
Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in 
Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia 
University before moving to Chicago, where he became a community 
organizer. He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard, where he 
became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. 
His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, 
has been a long-time New York Times bestseller."

Old media's feeble handling of this issue -- parroting the laughable 
assertion that clerical errors caused Obama's birthplace to be 
incorrectly listed, when former clients and the agency's policy itself 
states that authors provide the biographical briefs -- is pathetic.

As I've demonstrated here, Obama's bio was carefully edited over the 
course of 17 years to reflect his various accomplishments.

It was only a few months after his presidential candidacy was announced 
that his Kenyan "birthplace" became Hawaiian to confirm his eligibility 
for office. Obama remains a client to this day, which helps explain the 
literary agent's willingness to instantly offer an explanation for the 
discrepancy.

Only a Kool-aid-swilling hack or a Democrat-media drone -- but I repeat 
myself...
