Donald, the real issue relates to the citizenship status of both of his parents. Where he was born isn’t nearly as important.

Actually it is. I'm not an expert but there has been a lot of commentary on this in regards to what the laws of citizenship were at the time of his birth. His Father obviously was not a citizen and his mother was. However, his mother was under 18 at the time and the law said something to the effect that if one one parent was a citizen and under 18, the child had to be born in the U.S. to be considered a natural born citizen.

I may have mixed up minor details, but that is essentially the issue in 100 words or less. So if he was born outside the U.S. or it's territories, he's not a natural born citizen and ineligible to be President.

Exactly. Since his father was born in Kenya, and was a British subject, the jug-eared bastard is not a natural born citizen. It does not matter if he was born in Kenya or Indonesia or Hawaii or Mars.
