So... if you were Obama, would you hire a literary agent that completely misrepresented your citizenship?

Doesn't sound like Obama did much to correct the record.

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.

In fact, when the literary agent wrote up advertisement, where do you think he gleaned the background information from for the Bio? Should have been Obama himself.

This is why it's important to get some answers related to Obama's time as a student. If he was actually a US citizen, but representing himself as not, we need to know if this kind of misrepresentation resulted in financial advantages (ie: fraud).

And remember, it was the Hillary Clinton campaign and her Democratic supporters who ORIGINALLY brought up this controversy. It was not the Republicans.
