“SO, WHAT? I AM RUNNING FOR ILLINOIS SENATOR, NOT THE PRESIDENCY.”

While the Kenyan has plenty of press stating he was born there the quote above never happened.

Back in January 2006, the Honolulu newspaper wrote,

"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.
