Okay this is just creepy


  Andrew Breitbart strikes from the grave!   If you haven’t seen Drudge, the story in short is that Breitbart.com reported that in 1991, Obama’s literary agent published a booklet with the bio above stating point blank that he was born in Kenya.   Now she says it was just a silly mistake.   Let’s grant that Obama really was…
