Our resident birthers (the literary agents who advertised Obama as born in in Kenya from 1991 until he announced his candidacy for president in April 2007) – told as today that they write and publish bios for their clients, without bothering to get the clients’ approval of the text.
Besides being unbelievable and unethical, this would be incredibly bad business practice.
Obama made them an offer they could not refuse to lie for him.
Possibly via one of the many TLAs. (Three Letter Agencies)
Just the threat of the never-ending-audit-from-hell could encourage someone to take a fall…..
Note to the “Obama Storyline Protection Team”. I’m just speculating.
I just call them OFA(l)
Other clients of that same agency claimed that their instructions were to write their own bios in third person and submit them for printing. The editing process involved only spell and grammar checks, no fact checks.
That is what everybody does.
yes, that is what is expected.
It is unbelievable to think Obummer did not at least write a rough draft of his bio. After all who else would be expected to have the information to hand?
What is also unbelievable are the glib answers from the Obummer apologists when I posted this earlier:
From Huff ‘n Puff on writing Author Bios:
And another look into the subject of Author Bios
Wantabe writers are a dime a dozen. There is no way in He!! an editor is going to waste time Interviewing and handholding a new writer through something as simple as a bio. The person is a WRITER isn’t he? So let HIM do the writing. Just be glad they are giving you a chance to get published.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Seems Obama was ‘TOO IMPORTANT’ to write his own bio because he was the first black president of a college rag. A job he got through political pull and not through actual merit.
Or in the terms of the Obummer apollogist: “Obama was instead pursued and solicited to write his book after becoming the first black President of the Harvard Law Review.”
He was still only a college student whose only claim to fame was his skin color. His pull may have gotten him a foot in the door in a publishing house but I rather doubt it got him V.I.P. treatment especially when well known published authors were all routinely expected to write their own Bios as is shown by the above two articles.
The dumbth gets deeper.
You mean… sorta like the proposal for the book he was going to write? Or like the dozen or so news paper articles about his selection to become President of the Harvard Law Review?
Simple answers often sound glib. Even when they are true.
First black Presidents of the Harvard Law Review are not.
Ignoring that graduating magna cum laude pretty much eviscerates your puerile claim that he did not get the job via merit, essentially none of the authors whose “bios” were published in the Acton & Dystel brochure wrote their own. After all… none of them were for book jackets, or author promotion, or book marketing. It was a marketing piece for A&D, not the authors. When Breitbart asked Jay Acton on that point, he said that “almost nobody” wrote his or her own biography.
Oh? You missed that whole “President of the Harvard Law Review” thing? Did you?
That said, given the current hindsight we possess and the fact that he subsequently rose to the position of most powerful man on the planet, whatever A&D sae in him truns out to have been a bit of an underestimation.
I thought you said the “above tw articles” were written for “wantabe writers (who were) a dime a dozen.” Now you’re saying they were written for “well known published authors”?
It seems there are a few holes in your theory. But Obama Derangement Syndrome does that to people.
The dumbth gets deeper.
Yea, yours.
Name them.
HD, when you search the web for stories about obama’s birthplace, do you ever think that you might be falling for the “bait”? Does it ever occur to you that people see thru you? Does it ever occur to you that you provide free comedy?
I guess not.
(And, it’s not as if Goddard is being disingenuous, check the title of the posting you responded to: “Today’s Humor”.)
In the order asked.
No. No, and I certainly hope so.
I don’t think Tony’s being disingenuous. I think he’s being a punk.
You are just being obtuse – but that may be natural for you.
Nothing left but name calling, huh?
Ironic geran post is ironic.
As in “Historian” and “Dude”.
Uuuuuuuuuuh. No.
Denial, again.
You are now officially Pavlov’s dog.
Ring!
let’s see if we can get morondude to keep posting for tony. To break his record of comments.
Someone must have told him about pavlov, but forgot to tell him he is the dog.
How ironic.
No documented case of Obama writing anything other than a few semi-incoherent magazine articles in the ’80s as a student have ever come to light.
Except of course for his two books.
Odd that he won a Grammy for each one…. And he only “wrote” two.
Just another example of the liar-in-chief’s “fantastic coincidences” I suppose….
AHHH, So you are saying he WROTE two books but is INCAPABLE of writing a Bio as EXPECTED as standard practic by publishers.
Thanks for making that clear.
As clear as the administration is transparent.
He said “documented”. The only documentation available says that Ayers wrote them.
Moron.
Another birther pinhead who never heard of biography vs. autobiography.
You just got through saying, and I quote:
Typical dis-info. agent tripping over his own lies. (BTW is the pay good?)
Another OFA(l) idiot that still thinks Obama is a blooming idiot
Looks like the apparatchiks are now tracking this humor in their “truthy” database. http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-creating-database-to-track-hate-speech-on-twitter/
Of course they claim to be tracking “hate speech” / criticism of government…..
Kinda explains the massive over-reactions to the subject too. Truth trumps “truthiness” unless you are a government apparatchik.
