If President Obama was born in Hawaii was it while the islands yet remained a territory of the United States?
A new wrinkle in the dispute over his birth – and whether he is eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the president be none other than a "natural born" citizen – appeared today when Obama's MySpace page confirmed his age is 52.
That would mean if he was born on the islands that now make up the state of Hawaii it would have been during the archipelago's days as a territory for the United States, the status for the islands from about 1900 until it became a state in 1959.
It also conflicts with campaign and other White House information that have discussed his 48th birthday just a few days into this month.

Sorry, but I don’t believe you are right. John McCain got his natural born citiznenship because both of his parents were natural born citizens and he was born in a US controlled area. His parents were on military duty which does not transfer your residency either.
Obama only had one parent who was a natural born citizen.
For example, I don’t believe that people born in Puerto Rico are US Citizens. I believe they travel under a Puerto Rico passport and have to naturlize to become US citizens.
No.
Cute! I like it....
BTW,off-topic but I love Jarlsberg swiss....:P
His mom was 13?
WND quotes MySpace as a source? Do they have stories about alien babies born to celebrities too?
Posting this drivel on FR should embarass you.
McCain was born of two US citizens, not just one.
Hopefully you're not series.
Puerto Rican passport? Buy a clue.
Maybe you need the services of the Sheriff of Boone County to pull over his motorcade when it crosses county line...
“But, but... Don’t you know who I AM??? I’m the President of the United States!”
“Shore yew is, son. Shore yew is. Lemme see some Eye-Dee... Hmmm. Driver’s license looks faked. Passport? Why that’s faked, too. Birth Certificate? Well, well, well! What have we got here? ‘Driving without valid faked EYE-DEE’ — now THAT has gotta be ee-legal! Y’all gonna have to be guests of the County for a wee spell. Step out of the ve-hick-le, ten fingers on the bumper. Yer unnerarrest. Nice car, steal it?”
I’m sure the Sheriff would get to the bottom of things quick-smart:
“Listen Mister whatsyername? Immanual? Ah don’t care if he thinks he’s the King of Siam. He’s in my county lock-up, and there he stays until someone produces some valid Eye-DEE.”
My understanding is if anyone is born on US soil, they are citizens. This includes embassies, military bases, US territories (Puerto Rico), etc.
I don’t think he is citizen, but this argument won’t stand, I’m afraid.
Puerto Ricans are US citizens as far as I know.
How would we know?! We haven't seen the birth certificate!
All I know is, I have to show my ID for everything. They had to make a copy of my ID for my new apt. And here Obama waltzes into the White House without showing anything.
Obama only faked his age so he could compete on the Chinese gymnastics team as a little girl.
You would certainly think that someone would have asked before he even got elected to the senate.
Isn’t Kenya one of the Hawaiian islands?
Frank Marshall Davis wrote he had an affair with a 14-year-old white girl named Anna.
Perhaps he didn’t even start that myspace page? Someone else could have, couldn’t they?
Judging by your tagline, you must not be in any pain at all.
Do you think someone could start a ghost page for the president of the United States and get away with it?
