LMAO!

The Birther nonsense wasn't nonsense -- Obama had, for 15 years, held himself out as Kenyan born, and
stopped doing so only a month before announcing his run for the presidency.

Prove it, with legitimate references.

He never denied being born in Hawaii.

OMFG.

>>Obama had, for 15 years, held himself out as Kenyan born<<

A lie.

snopes.com

Excerpt:

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."

She's an eastern euro girl who was in the "modeling" biz. Do the math...

There is in fact actually some reason why this might matter. I'm pretty sure various parties in eastern Europe know a good deal more about her history than is publicly known in the USA. That might in fact have something to do with Trump's relationships with Russia. I can assure you if the tables were turned and this was Obama's wife and Obama was cozy with Russia, all hell would break loss with Republicans in Congress.

Do you have a reference on Obama claiming to be born in Kenya? I've never seen any such claim, but then I don't listen to rightwing radio for obvious reasons...
