It certainly wasn't the White House since it occurred in the 1990's ... but as to whether it came from Obama? The consensus of knowledgeable opinion is that a publisher would never have released that information without Obama's explicit approval. So far as I know Barack Obama has never explained why his booklet was published claiming Kenya as his birthplace. It appears to have been convenient at the time.
As for mis-speaks, Michelle Obama is on record referring to Kenya as Barack's homeland ... despite his being born in Hawaii ... so there's that.
Yes, this is why it is odd, to me, for you to make reference to that, as it was not from the White House, or Obama, did not happen during his presidency, at all. A misspeak, typo, etc, that is something that most everyone, will do. They are not comparable, to anyone being honest about the matter, to Spicer's statements, on Hitler and the Holocaust.
