Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate (Sunday, June 27, 2004)
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.
Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.
"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."

Kenya must have gotten this misinformation from Obama's misinformed publishers misinformation that was mistakenly written by Obama's literary agencies assistant Miss Miriam Goderich. A lot of missing going on here.

Congratulations J, you have succeeded on reaching a new personal low.
Would you take this Kenya stuff seriously if it was Germany? or France? or even Mexico?

The Associated Press made no such reference; the identification of Barack Obama as "Kenyan-born" was added to the Sunday Standard's version of the AP story by someone else (who misspelled the politician's given name as "Barrack" in the process) and is apparently unique to that publication. The full text of the "Jack Ryan Abandons Senate Bid" article as originally issued by the Associated Press is retrievable from the LexisNexis archive of global news sources and it contains no reference (in the lead-in or elsewhere) to Barack Obama's being "Kenyan-born":
