Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

Obama's former literary agency misidentified his birthplace as Kenya while trying to promote the then-Harvard Law grad as an author in 1991.

According to a promotional booklet produced by the agency, Acton & Dystel, to showcase its roster of writers, Obama was "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

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.

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "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."

In a follow-up post, Breitbart.com noted that Obama was listed as being born in Kenya on the Dyster & Goderich website until April 2007, "just two months after then-Senator Obama declared his campaign for the presidency."

Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes
Israel E-news ^ | 10/12/08 | Tamar Yonah

Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery room

According to a poll just released today, President Obama’s approval rating is at an all-time low. He’s so unpopular right now, the people in Kenya are accusing him of being born in the United States .” — Jay Leno

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate Sunday, June 27, 2004
by Teri a Ron Paul supporter Posted May 20, 2012 (5 hours ago)

Kenyan-born US
Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after
his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid
sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow
Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have
given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on
Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his
ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex
clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

"It’s clear to me that a vigorous
debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan,
44, said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth
campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of
politics I refuse to play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations,
saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because
they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly
outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.

The Republican choice will become an
instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter
Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.

"I feel for him actually," Obama
told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I
think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."

The Republican state committee must now
choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its
task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is
widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.
