Well, the booklet in question purportedly dates from 1991, long before Obama was a presidential candidate.

But what reason would Obama have had to claim that even in 1991?

Part of me hopes Obama really was born in Kenya just because the shit storm would be funny as hell.
I still don't see any upside to claiming it.
You don't mean to imply that it's a fact and he was simply "admitting" it, do you?
Nor that Arpaio's Birther-crap should be taken seriously? There aren't enough
.If it were "common knowledge" among Obama's classmates that Obama was foreign-born, those classmates shouldn't be hard to find, just go through the alumni association. I'm sure a lot of them must have been interviewed from the time Obama announced his candidacy. If this is the first one yet found who says that, he's lying.

He wasn't a presidential candidate in 1991, fucking dummy. His agent was trying to sell a book.
What's hilarious is that the linked story even says up front that Breitbart never believed the birther bullshit. So that's where we are in 2012: you all are out-loonying a known loony site.

Oh, but it gets better. Birther central has this: Dreams from My Real Father. I even ordered a copy to see what it was about. Anyway, birther queen Orly Taitz is not happy about the latest theory:

HA!
You'll never accept any proof that threatens your precious ideology. Your mind is made up about everything, and you'll never change.
Unlike you?
What is to be proven here, anyway? That Obama was born in Kenya? Or that he once told a lie to that effect? You can't have both, and neither is very plausible. We've all seen his real long-form BC and his birth announcements in Honolulu newspapers; and I can't see any practical advantage to such a lie, now or in 1991. Which are you going with?

Yeah, unlike me, shithead.
Once upon a time I was a liberal until I began to realize how childish, naive, and irresponsible it was. Most people outgrow it. Some don't.
Like you.

Once again, what is to be proven here -- that Obama was born in Kenya, or that he for some reason once falsely claimed that?

You just can't control yourself and shut the fuck up, can you? The old Oreo tactic...putting words in other people's mouths, then arguing against it.
Take that library bullshit somewhere else.

Libraries are not as useless or scary as you seem to think they are. Try one.

Talking with you is like being caught in a loop of Abbott & Costello's Who's On First routine. You keep talking in circles while chasing your own tail. Maybe one day you'll catch it.

You do need the one or the other to make him a "deceiver" here; there's no third option that works.

Someone around here has a severe stutter, and it ain't me.
Well, obviously the motivation here is to make Obama out to be the son of a Communist. But, if Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist, the more we have of them the better.
