In 1991, in order to sell books, Barack Obama was described as having been borne in Kenya, from by Joel B. Pollak, Big Hollywood [1]:
[2]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.
Not to say that Dumbo, b/k/a Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya. Why did Dumbo make such a claim. I posit four reasons:
- One, Dumbo was actually born in Kenya..
- Two, Dumbo was in fact born in Hawaii but lied in order to sell more books.
- Three, the description was published by Dumbo’s agent, without Dumbo knowledge. Sure.
- Tour, Dumbo was, and still is, too stupid to know that Kenya is not in Hawaii. Geography is not President Fifty-Seven States long suit.
Was Dumbo lying then, or is Dumbo lying now?
