Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law
Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son
of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended
Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for
Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator
in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was
Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s
South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident
in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.
The booklet, which is thirty-six pages long, is printed in blue ink
(and, on the cover, silver/grey ink), using offset lithography. It
purports to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Acton & Dystel,
which was founded in 1976.........
Claims
have resurfaced that the White House spent millions of dollars to cover
up President Barack Obama’s real birth place. An image of a birth
certificate that allegedly belongs to Barack Obama says Obama was born
August 4, 1961 in Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya. A guy named
Lucas Smith supposedly obtained the birth certificate through the help
of Kenya Colonel who got it directly from Coast General Hospital in
Mombasa, Kenya.
The Power Hour reports Obama’s grandmother revealed the story of Obama’s birth: “On August 4, 1961 Obama’s mother, father and grandmother
were attending a Muslim festival in Mombassa, Kenya. Mother had been
refused entry to airplanes due to her 9 month pregnancy. It was a hot
August day at the festival so the Obama’s went to the beach to cool off.
While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was
rushed to the Coast Provincial General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya where
Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961. Four days
later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as
a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of
birth.”
Power Hour also says: Testimony from a Mombasa science teacher and the Mombasa
Registrar of births that Obama’s birth certificate from Mombasa is
genuine.
Was Donald Trump right when he said Obama didn’t have legal right to be president? Were the White House documents forged?

Barack
Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review,

Jay Acton no longer represents Obama. However, Jane Dystel still lists Obama as a client on her agency's website.
According to the booklet itself, the text was edited by Miriam Goderich, who has since become Dystel's partner at Dystel & Goderich,
an agency founded in 1994. Breitbart News attempted to reach Goderich
by telephone several times over several days. Her calls are screened by
an automated service that requires callers to state their name and
company, which we did. She never answered.
The design of the
booklet was undertaken by Richard Bellsey, who has since closed his
business. Bellsey, reached by telephone, could not recall the exact
details of the booklet, but told Breitbart News that it "sounds like one
of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel] twenty years ago or
more."
The
parade of authors alongside Obama in the booklet includes politicians,
such as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill; sports legends, such as
Joe Montana and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; and numerous Hollywood
celebrities.
The reverse side of the page that features Barack
Obama includes former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and
early-1990s "boy band" pop sensation New Kids On the Block.
Acton,
who spoke to Breitbart News by telephone, confirmed precise details of
the booklet and said that it cost the agency tens of thousands of
dollars to produce.
He indicated that while "almost nobody" wrote
his or her own biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom "the
agents deal[t] with on a daily basis," were "probably" approached to
approve the text as presented.
Dystel did not respond to numerous
requests for comment, via email and telephone. Her assistant told
Breitbart News that Dystel "does not answer questions about Obama."
The
errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not
contradict the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Moreover,
several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.
The
biography does, however, fit a pattern in which Obama--or the people
representing and supporting him--manipulate his public persona.
David Maraniss's forthcoming biography of Obama has reportedly confirmed, for example, that a girlfriend Obama described in Dreams from My Father was, in fact, an amalgam of several separate individuals.
In
addition, Obama and his handlers have a history of redefining his
identity when expedient. In March 2008, for example, he famously declared:
"I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown the black
community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."
Several weeks later, Obama left Wright's church--and, according to Edward Klein's new biography, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, allegedly attempted to persuade Wright not to "do any more public speaking until after the November [2008] election" (51).
Obama
has been known frequently to fictionalize aspects of his own life.
During his 2008 campaign, for instance, Obama claimed that his dying
mother had fought with insurance companies over coverage for her cancer
treatments.
That turned out to be untrue, but Obama has repeated the story--which even the Washington Post called "misleading"--in a campaign video for the 2012 election.
The
Acton & Dystel biography could also reflect how Obama was seen by
his associates, or transitions in his own identity. He is said, for
instance, to have cultivated an "international" identity until well into his adulthood, according to Maraniss.
Regardless
of the reason for Obama's odd biography, the Acton & Dystel booklet
raises new questions as part of ongoing efforts to understand Barack
Obama--who, despite four years in office remains a mystery to many
Americans, thanks to the mainstream media. Larry O'Connor contributed to this report.
