That is what the written text of the speech states, but it proves nothing. There is nothing wrong with the sentence as written, IMO.

Here is the text from the white house website:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/

If a person was talking off the cuff, he may well use “other” and say, “where all the OTHER American kids went to school.” In a formally-structured, written speech such as this one, it seems not only to be superior grammar without “other, but it sounds better as well. Using the word “other” in that sentence in a written speech sounds much too casual.

There is a school. The Americans kids went to the school. Obama didn’t go to the school. Obama didn’t go to the school where the American kids went. You see how it “works”, has proper grammer and reads and speaks correctly? Adding “other” would be superfluous.

I think people are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here. I know Obama is a radical communist Muslim and I have my doubts about his citizenship, but he did not make a slip in the sentence of that speech.

Now watch. Somebody will call me a troll...

My mother couldn't afford to send me to the school where all the AMERICAN kids went.

No I agree - there's no smoking gun here.

But as you add more and more of the tidbits surrounding Mr. Obama's eligibility, such as the inconsistencies as to if he was born at Kapiolani vs Queens Medical Center (or elsewhere), his mother's location in Feb-Aug 1961, his Indonesian school records, etc, his statement today adds yet more mystery to the actual events surrounding his birth.

Remember his slip of the tongue when he told Stoopidlis about his muslim faith!!!
