Oh, boy. . . . You realize that Obama only got chosen to be the HLR editor after the rules for choosing the editor were changed to consider factors other than just merit, right? Until Obama was chosen, the editor was always one of the top five law students, regardless of race. That rule was changed. If it had not been changed, Obama would not even have been eligible for consideration.

The rule was changed to include writing ability in the early 70s. Something pretty relevant to the head of a publication. And with Obama graduating Magna Cum Laude, he's clearly not an academic slouch.
Yes he was!President Barack Obama became the first black president 25 years ago today -- of the Harvard Law Review, that is.
The New York Times shared a screenshot Friday of their 1990 profile of Obama, which ran after he became the first black student elected to preside over the Review. Obama was 28 years old at the time.

Obama and his family must have been very proud. We're also proud of you. Nice job, Mr. President.
That was CORRECTED - you racist asshole.
Knowing full well the flood of comments that is about to ensue, here's the statement that the literary agent who has stirred up quite the controversy this afternoon gave to Political Wire:
"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Did she explain why she made up where authors were born without asking them?
Did the publisher explain why they continued to use it for 16 years, until 2007?
A hand job behind the stacks went a long way back in the day. Now he can't get shit no matter what he does.

You'll note it hadn't been updated with any accomplishment after 1991. Like....becoming a State Senator. Or a US senator. Both of which they would have added if they'd been looking at it before 2007.

Give us some "credible" proof that Obama wasn't "eligible for consideration" due to grades and class standing.
At the end of his first year he was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review based on his grades and a writing competition.[59]

Show where the publisher makes up birth locations for their authors. She called it a "fact checking" error, that doesn't explain who made up he was born in Kenya.
So why would I ignore Miriam Goderich, the woman who created the pamphlet in question and instead believe you citing yourself?
Remember, and this point is fundamental: You don't actually have the slightest clue what you're talking about. Miriam Goderich does.
You'll believe anything that serves the cause of liberalism.
If you have a source better than Miriam Goderich, by all means present it. But you don't. You're offering us yourself.So why would I ignore Miriam Goderich, the woman who created the pamphlet in question and instead believe you citing yourself?

I didn't say to "ignore" her, it's a data point.
Articles Why Kenyan Birth Claim Was No Fact Checking Error
Former publisher Tom Lipscomb does not buy Goderich's explanation for a New York minute. "As someone who has run a number of top bestseller publishers, I think this is an amazing MIRACLE," writes Lipscomb emphatically on Power Line "It is the ONLY case I have ever heard of in which an editorial assistant INVENTED a biographical detail. I have heard of typos, wrong dates, misspellings of names. But to pick a really weird country of origin like Kenya for an author?"
The Breitbart people followed up with a piece by Steve Boman, a Jane Dystel client in the mid-1990s, who noted, "All material she used in our proposals came directly from me and my writing partner." This is standard. In the eight books I have written under my own name, I have reviewed all biographical information sent out about me either by agent or publisher. Like most authors, I have let a little fluff pass, but not much.
Factchecking error my ass! Miriam Goderich has refused to take questions since her scripted response. She pulled a Brian Williams and went underground.

You know nothing more about their communication than she's told you. You know nothing of the procedures for writing a bio for a promotional pamphlet for Acton and Dystel. You know nothing of the sources that she used. You have no direct knowledge of any issue you're attempting to discuss.
You're offering us baseless speculation and innuendo regarding a topic you know nothing about. You can offer no data points.
Miriam Goderich made the pamphlet in question. She worked at Acton and Dystel. She was privy to all communication with Obama. She's a direct eye witness and the world's leading authority on the pamphlet and its content.
