As much as I would like to think this has any merit. It doesn't.

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

Unless his mother had renounced her citizenship before B. Hussein Obama was born, it really has no bearing whatsoever on whether or now he was born in Hawaii, Indonesia or Kenya. His mother was a US citizen, and therefore he was US citizen upon birth.

I only wish this were all true.... I fear for our nation if B. Hussein Obama, San-Fran-Nan and “Dingy-Harry” Reid are left to lead this country....

If he wasn't born here, his mom needed to be 19 when he was born. She was about 4 months short of that.
