They published it. And the "false claim" I might have made was a misunderstanding I made between the three articles, what you typed, and what the literary agent later said, not what the two of them published and distributed. Not one time have I said "Obama told her he was born in Kenya" although he most likely did. Common sense and as the literary agents partner said, they talk to clients to get the info. But be that as it may, it still has little to no bearing on who the founding member of the Obama "birther" movement was. It was of course Obama. Either by his design or by his failure to correct a "mistake" from someone who he hired to distribute his background information. If in fact the agent made a mistake, not likely, but if, all Obama had to do was tell her and it could have been corrected. She worked for him. If it was a mistake, I don't know what Obamas motives were in not correcting it. If it was by design, I don't know what Obamas motives were. Either way, it's on him, he was the boss. His responsibility to check his advertisement about his life.
