So... author bio info comes from where? And when did Goderich say she made Obama's bio info up all on her own?
"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time. 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."

So tell us again why we should believe YOU over the person who wrote the bio????
Obama lied. Goderich lied. From this thread...

You'd have to be incredibly gullible to believe that.
Just the response I expected from a birther. When the facts don't fit your narrative, claim that everyone but you is lying.
FACT: For 16 years and through multiple revisions, Obama's professional bio stated he was born in Kenya. Then when that info wasn't convenient anymore because Obama was running for president, his place of birth changed in the late April 2007 version.

FACT: The author of the bio has claimed responsibility for the error.
FACT: The author has stated that the president had nothing to do with the error.
FACT: You have no facts refuting this.
FACT: Birthers have no facts.

Fact: the state of Hawaii has stated that Obama was born there.
The author of the bio has claimed responsibility for the error.
In 1991. What about the errors in every single subsequent revision until 2007 (a full 16 years!), when it then became inconvenient to have Obama listed as being born in a foreign country?
And where did she get Kenya from? The bio doesn't even include Kenya as a country in which Obama was raised. What would give her the idea that Obama was born there?
Read the other author bios. A birth place is NOT given in the vast majority of them. It's only listed if it is unusual or has particular relevance to the author's work. Why did Obama's agent believe Obama's birth was unusual and/or relevant enough to his work to include it in the bio?
If only it would be the end but they don't seem to understand or care about the facts.
The FACT is that Obama's published professional bio stated that he was born in Kenya.
That FACTpersisted for 16 years and throughout multiple revisions.
That FACT changed in 2007 when it was no longer appealing or convenient to have had a foreign place of birth.
FACT: There was no mention of an error having been made when it was changed after 16 years in 2007.
