Some of the “debunking” websites are questionable at best, agenda-driven at worst. What makes you trust Urbanlegends.com? Just wondering—I know nothing about their bias or research capabilities.

Some of the points are certainly debatable, but some of them can be independently checked. For instance, Fulbright scholarships are only available for graduate degree candidates in the US (something I know from my grad student days, when I had a couple of Fulbright scholar neighbors across the hallway in the grad student dorm), and Obama was an undergrad at Occidental. Besides, Occidental states that it has never released Obama's transcripts (other than to Obama, presumably).

Such as the oft-cited Snopes, run by a liberal married couple.
