And you know, it's one of the few claims he's made as to which he can have no actual personal knowledge. Even though he was
there at the time, he was too young to have any recollection.
Most people's solid memories begin around age 3 or 4. He would only know what his mother and grandparents told him about the place or circumstances of his birth.
Obama's own flacks deny that obama was born in Kenya but do acknowledge that he had a dual citizenship up until 1982

on his dual citizenship at birth
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”(Someone will want to cache the above web page because it will be taken down eventually. Ah here is the

Here is the problem with fighthesmears narrative: We already have
recorded that Obama's wife michellle said Obama's mother was "very young and very single" when obama was born. Nor does Obama's mother disagree with this narrative in Dreams of My Father pg 81. She does not say that she was married to O's father at the time of his birth.
British law at the time of obama's birth only gave citizenship from the father to the son in the case that the father is married to the mother:ie the son is legitimate. See
wikipedia 2.4.3Since obama's parents were NOT married -- how did obama get his British/Kenyancitizenship? Its not unreasonable to think that he got his British/Kenyan because he was born there--and not because of his parentage. As to the famous newsclipping in Hawaii that states that bama was born there in 1961--
there is evidence to suggest that the house named as the place where Obama was born -- was lived in by someone else besides his parents.
Once again, Just one piece of evidence could easily be dismissed. It is the accumulation of evidence that is troubling.
here is a
pdf transcript of Kenyan National Assembly on Nov 5, 2008, the day after Obama was elected. Over and over again there are references to Obama being a "son of the soil" of Kenya and a Kenyan. On page page 3275 there is this passage:
HOUSE SHOULD ADJOURN TO DISCUSS ELECTION OF MR. BARRACK OBAMA
Ms. Odhiambo: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not on this issue. I stand on a point of order under Standing Order No.20 to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss the American presidential election results.
(Applause)
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. Every other country in this continent is celebrating the Obama win. It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement, pomp and colour.
Again. It is not the one thing. Rather it is the tide.
In July 2009 a Ghanian newspapersays of Obama that ""For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American president on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth,"
Obama’s claim that he was born in Hawaii is perhaps the only truthful statement he has made in his entire life. I highly doubt that. His own family testify that he was born in Kenya, and a point not brought up in this article is that Indonesia does not recognize dual citizenship. Since the laws of America state that we do not if the other nation does not, Barry LOST his citizenship at that point. He can regain it, the records do not show he took the steps to do so. But he can not regain NATURAL BORN status.
Barry at best is a usurper, at worst an illegal immigrant. Either one, he is a traitor.
