Obama has never claimed to be a Fulbright scholar, as far as I know. What’s the source for the claim?

The source was a fake email.

As for Canadian citizens:

"The Fulbright Program offers grants to qualified Canadian students to study at the graduate level in the United States. Canadian scholars may apply to conduct post-doctoral research at U.S. institutions and are eligible for Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence grants. In addition, Canadian students and teachers are also eligible for the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program."

If Obama was a Fulbright Scholar, he’s the last person in the world who would admit to it. He’d seal his college records and pretend it never happened.

If you go back and read my my post, I never made the claim. I only said Obama’s college records would have to be unsealed before we could know for certain one way or the other.

Otoh, I’m unconvinced by the Obot argument that Obama couldn’t have been a Fulbright Scholar at Occidental bc it cannot be awarded to Indonesian undergrads. I’m unconvinced that he’s an Indonesian citizen.
