But Obama was in a state of checkmate.  Either he was born in Hawaii, there was proof of it, and therefore he lied to his literary agent and a lot of other people about his being born in Kenya, or he wasn’t, and the birthers were right. Why did Obama lie about being born in Kenya?  ...

• I think my theory about the Bakke connection to Obama’s minority status might be gaining traction

  
  — Authority:
  A few days ago, I posited that Obama might have come up with the faux Kenyan identity because, in 1979, when he was graduating from high school, the Supreme Court’s 1978 decision Regents of the University of California v. Bakke had done away with affirmative action.  (Universities eventually developed ...

  Hot Air — Authority: 812
  Disadvantage incentives.
