And for those that prefer the far east, this article from 1/8/2006 casually mentions in passing that he was born in Indonesia.

Excerpt:
“
“Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth,” said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. “She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant.”
Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai’i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have “a kama’aina connection.”
Both were born outside the country — Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand — and graduated from high school in Honolulu — Punahou and McKinley, respectively.”
I didn’t see anything in the link you posted that suggested Obama was born in Indonesia... The quote you pasted isn’t in the article?
