How much of the "Obama wasn't REALLY born in the USA" stuff do you think comes from people who misread or misheard "Obama is a Keynesian" as "Obama is a Kenyan"?
I could imagine that someone on one of the Fox News shows was discussing economic policy, and mentioned that Obama is a Keynesian, and that audience members misinterpreted it. Don't know if it has ever happened, but I can imagine it.
I suppose there may be a few people making that error, but I don't think it represents a significant portion of the people who believe he was born in Kenya.
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple percent of people who already thought that he was Kenyan heard someone say that he was Keynesian and had that confirm their belief, though.
