The publisher never checked with Obama, she just picked a country out of the air -- for an author who never wrote anything.
Nonsense. Every other datum in that About the Author bio was accurate. Whence came that information? Obviously, from Obama. As a published author myself, I have never had a publisher publish an About the Author bio that I did not draft and did not approve in its final version. It is nonsense to suggest that the publisher just winged it on his birthplace but got all the other information from Obama. That's not how it works..
You got one thing correct- everything you are posting is nonsense- as in it makes no sense.
They made a mistake
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
“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,” Goderich wrote. “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.”
Meanwhile- every single other publication from 1990 onward got Barack Obama's place of birth correct
