(Mitchell remembers that Obama wore puka-shell necklaces all the time, though they were not in style, and that "we let it slide because he spent a lot of time growing up in Hawaii.")
Now, it might be just a small point...but...it seems that if Obama was born in Hawaii the Mitchell guy would have said...because he was born there. Or, that he was born there lived there for (however many) years. Or something like that. Yet he only said..."...he (Obama) spent a lot of time growing up in Hawaii."
I know that although I live in the south now, people occasionally joke that I am still a Yankee because I was born in Pennsylvania. With Mitchell's comment it seems as if Mitchell, and probably Obama's other friends, knew that Obama just grew up there, but was not originally born in Hawaii. It is just worded strangely considering that Obama claims and wants us to believe that Hawaii was his place of birth.
I hope you have saved that article somewhere so it cannot be erased from the page where it was posted.
