For more than 200 years US citizen could not pick a president who has roots outside the country. This might have been the result of racism or belief that a person other than original US citizen was capable of effectively leading the powerful nation and help it to maintain its values.
But after political changes globally, and strengthening of democracy, things have changed in the US. We witnessed last year a senator with his origins from east Africa, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama, becoming the first black US president. He won the race on Democrat ticket and was sworn on January 20, 2009 as US president.
What has happened in US can also happen in Zanzibar this year through Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). Eleven CCM members have already picked nomination forms, seeking their party appointment as presidential candidates.
Since 1964 Revolution, Zanzibar, which is formed by twin islands of Unguja and Pemba, has had never elected a President from Pemba. All people who have been elected into the post are from Unguja.
Things might change this year as among the much touted possible candidates are from Pemba. Moreover, Zanzibar election might record another history as among those who have picked forms to view for the post is a person with Asian origin, Mr Haroun Ali Suleiman, who currently serves as the minister for Education and Vocational Training.

Even Zanzibar knows that Barack Abdallah Husein Obama is not an 'original' citizen.

So Barack Obama has two middle names? How little we know of the man elected to the highest office in the country. It’s just such an embarrassment.

Very interesting, but I wouldn't put too much weight into the comment. Apparently the author did not know that the “natural born” requirement was included by Founding Fathers as a requirement for US presidential candidates to prevent European Kings trying to slip in an Usurper into the WH for the purposes of treason.
It is, of course, a good safeguard, since we now see that Communist have done exactly what was feared that an European adversary would do.

That’s an interesting comment because my understanding is that his lawyers said that the long form would be embarrassing to him.
Of course not embarrassing Less Than Zero is far more important than adhering to the constitution.

Indeed. I wonder how they know he has a second middle name? The MSM never has ever mentioned this.
To: ccmay
I’ve googled this name in full and there is no mention or reference to it anywhere. This might be a new smoking gun. We need to contact or confirm the writers of the article are legit.

Perfect photo to accompany the article, thanks! You bet. I enjoy finding appropriate editorial images to accompany articles.
