As with the Kennedy assassination, there are always unanswerable questions when you look at something so deeply. Plus, you begin to see things that aren't there.
As for birtherism, I think it's a complex cocktail of racism, sore loser-ship, intolerance of non-GOP, and a touch of crazy.
'Why Did Obama Tell His Literary Agent That He was BORN IN KENYA??'
Why Did Obama Tell His Literary Agent That He was BORN IN KENYA??
First of all, you are wrong. The article never claims Obama said he was born in Kenya. Someone else wrote that.
Second, to quote the article: "The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not contradict the authenticity of Obamas birth certificate."
Did you even read that drivel?
No, it doesn't say Obama claimed it. But would anyone be shocked if he does? He says things that are expedient at the time even if they are false. He has a history of this. He once claimed that he has a claim on Selma, Alabama because if it werent for the civil rights movement there, he would never have been born. Only problem is he was born several years before this event happened. That's hardly the only incident in his life he's exagerated and lied about.
And oddly that doesnt bother some people.
