Media uses Obama bio as a weapon against Romney

Obama's literary agency featured a bio of Obama in 1991 that said he was born in Kenya. Obama surely must have looked at that bio once or twice, wouldn't you think? But he did not delete it until two months after he announced his run for the presidency in 2007!

Donald Trump raised the issue yesterday: "He didn’t know he was running for president, so he told the truth,” Trump said about Obama’s birthplace, basing his assertion on a literary biography written for Obama that was recently unearthed by Breitbart.com. “The literary agent wrote down what he said… He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia… Now they’re saying it was a mistake. Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, ‘Oh, I mean Hawaii.’ Give me a break.”

Breitbart had the exclusive story. Here is what they have to say about the subsequent coverage (or lack thereof) of the story:  "Whether a sitting President of the United States who, as a grown man, (Obama turned 30 in 1991) might have spruced up his bio to look more exotic or allowed others to do it for him, is a legitimate line of inquiry -- especially after what we've learned about Elizabeth Warren and most especially after the Washington Post declared relevant Mitt Romney's high school days from almost a half-century ago. But our corrupt media has only found this story worthwhile as a weapon to use against Obama's opponent."
