Barack Obama born in Kenya? If you can't beat him, just throw the kitchen sink. What will be debatable is Obama's youth in Indonesia:

Admit Barack Hussein Obama’s citizenship status
was changed to a “natural” citizen of Indonesia
when his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, M.A. legally
“acknowledged” Obama as his son.


This will be subject to Indonesian law regarding citizenship. If his school in Jakarta only admits Indonesian citizens, then Obama was a naturalized Indonesian citizen by virtue of adopted by Lolo Soetoro.

For sure, Obama was not a "natural" citizen of Indonesia:

1. He was not born in Indonesia. None of his parents were Indonesians, except his adopted father

2. He is not indigenous Indonesian race. He is half Caucasian and half Negro by race, thus not one of the Indonesian natural race. Remember that even a Chinese born in Indonesian by Chinese parents who have Indonesian citizenships was not considered "natural" citizen, but only as a citizen of Indonesia as compared to indigenous of Indonesian race who is considered natural citizen.

The issue can be so complex, but Obama must know about this since he taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.

Why bring up the issue now?
