Not the claim at all. The claim is that he is not a "Natural Born Citizen" as required by that obsolete and useless living document called the Constitution of the Untied States of America. IMHO He's not!
Let’s see, Beck mentioned a 20 year association, as does BO in his book, with the racial moderate Rev. Wright and black liberation theology which has as a primary tenet, that racism in this country can not be eliminated until we end capitalism and move towards “democratic socialism”. All whites in the inner circle are either marxists or white guilt liberals who donate money(Penny Pritzker in Chicago), Ayers and Dohrn, some of BO’s Cabine/Czar appointments. He attacks previous American history and can’t even buy into American exceptionalism as a positive force for us and throughout the world. Other than those who fed and clothed him, his grandparents and occassionaly his mother, his entire writings are Afro-centric, as our every hero and mentor, except the aforementioned radical whites,who buy into his belief system, such as it is.
