    it'sd funny how briebart died and they still claim to not be in the WND birther biz. of course I believe they increased traffice with this story several hundred percent.... Briebart was everything he said of ted kennedy but he wasn't a birther...shame he is dead less than a yr and the one bit of principle the site held is gone

    You're missing the point: it's not about birthplace, it's about character.

    the issue is how much did obama know...and that's anyone's guess. either you believe the agency assistant's story or you believe obama deliberately inserted in a new bio to look more "exotic"-- how are you going to prove it?

    without evidence either way, this just falls into the "believe what you will" category. frankly i think he had nothing to do with it, and probably did not notice it anyway.
    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

    I'm afraid Hanlon flies out the window the moment people have some sort of axe to grind. Pity, i rather like him.

In the US, bios are typically submitted and approved by the author (funny how the other 89 authors in the publication don't have such a glaring error). Do you really believe that the smartest, most brilliant President in our history didn't know that his literary agent used that bio for 16 years?

    Or it could be that Obama didn't review the information until he wrote his first book, which was in 2007. Why would you check what your agent has if your not using him.

    When I first read the title I swear it was "Obama's publisher bio: porn in Kenya, father finance..."

    Then I thought WTF (Not the campaign slogan)?

    Got to read more carefully.
