Lou, all I can say is ALOHA! Hawaii is definitely a state and was when Obama was born there. His mother is an American. Thus he is an American too.

I am American and proud to have Barack Obama as my president.

Oh, they were out there then, too. Don’t you think if there was any validity to this argument the Clinton campagin would have unearthed it? And the crazies were out during the general election in full force. The irony, of course,is that McCain wasn’t born in the U.S. But since he came into the world on an American naval base, it’s okay. The whole business is ridiculous. If you hhave an American parent, you’re a citizen, so it shouldn’t matter where you were born. But Obama was born on American soil.

The time to ask these questions was while he was gearing up for his primary run, not after. Like GW Bush in 2000, once he’s in office let it go. All you do then is, as you said, create division at a time when there needs to be unity.

Let it GO people, spend your energy on the things that truly matter, and just make sure the safeguards are in place for it to not happen again.
