NBC’s Chris Jansing, standing outside the White House, says the President wants the Africa Summit to succeed because, for one thing, “he’s from Kenya.” Western Journalism has an article about video. The mistake was later corrected, according Crooks and Liars, something Western Journalism doesn’t mention.
Sigh.
MSNBC got something right for a change.
I just went to the link…Western has added the correction..
“Obviously, to clarify, I misspoke at the top before,” she said. “It is obviously the president’s father who is from Kenya and you clarified that.”
She concluded by asserted that Obama “has a real connection and there has been great expectation that great things can happen with this president and the African continent.”

So an inartful statement by a teevee bobblehead is “evidence.”
Official documentation from the only controlling legal authority in a given matter, and multiple assurances from that authority of the authenticity of the documentation? NOT “evidence.”
Birfer “logic” is a curious thing indeed.
Birtherism is confirmation bias at its ugliest.
Freudian slip??????
Do not be surprised to find a reference to it in one of Orly Taitz’s pleadings. As far as she is concerned, that is evidence.
Oh it’s already taken as gospel proof over at Birfoon Report that all the LAME STREAM MEEDJA are now finally breaking their silence on the Usurperator and stuff….
Beginning of the end, Obots in panic, cracks in the wall of silence and so on and so forth….YAWN
Typical of the crap writing that 24-hour “journalism” resorts to. Even if stated correctly, that the President has ancestral ties to Kenya, has visited Africa in the past, etc., …. the network is implying that the President is playing favorites, wanting Africa to succeed because “his people” live there. That people pay for this kind of babbling to be streamed into their homes is stupefying!
Brain fart.
Of which John is fluent in!
Interesting that Jansing said this on August 5, 2014, because exactly ten years prior, on August 5, 2004, a much more interesting and much more telling statement was made, not by a teevee bobblehead, but by a high (very high) White House source:
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
By Birfoon standards, this must be accepted as official U.S. policy at the time, because that’s the rule.
Nah, they make corrections all the time when necessary.
A wild Johnachoo appears!
He used Six Question Marks!
It was Not Very Effective!
Use logic against him. It completely paralyzes him, causing him to lose several turns.
I’m heading over to free republic to see them proclaim “I KNEW IT!!!” and how this is the earth shattering news from sheriff what’s his name……
I’m actually more impressed that she got that Kenya was in Africa, but then she’d probably rehearsed that part or some one had repeated it to her enough times she remembered. Impressed I’m not, and news it isn’t.
Kind of like when Dewey won the presidential election and got a newspaper headline to prove it.
In a strange way, I’m struck by the opposite: despite all the brouhaha birthers of all ilks have made about Kenya, in turn generating corrections about Hawaii, this sweet-looking but mildly incompetent MSNBC woman visibly had no ideas at all about the “issue” or “controversy”.
It would tend to indicate birthers have had zero impact on the national scene.
Well, according to birther logic he won and everybody else is part of a huge conspiracy to hide that.
Well, obviously the correction came only after “they” threatened to fuddy Ms. Jansing 🙂
I renew my objection to misusing Loretta Fuddy’s name in the exact context that Birfers want it to be misused. When they use it to suggest that a public servant who died in the course of her duties was assassinated, they’re being stupid and disrespectful. When we use it ironically, we may not be being stupid, but it’s still disrespectful of her life and her service. Adopting the framing of stupid, evil people is unhelpful.
Hear, hear.
However, if you say, “he or she was ‘taitzed’ or ‘apuzzoed'”, I have no objection. They are vermin.
Reminds me of an Abbot and Costello exchange:
What? What? What? What? What?
Only 5 what’s? That’s not very bright.
You’re right. I will defer to your objection. Using Ms. Fuddy’s name in pursuit of sarcasm is tasteless and boorish. I apologize.
