Sure, why not? If they've got the talent, why not?

My interest goes beyond Obama-----if Obama was not born in Hawaii and is not a citizen due to either that factor or his having been adopted in Indonesia by Soetoro as Barry Soetoro, this sets a precedent for the future of America. Any tinpot dictator could come in and run for office. Oh please......I think you must be a nice person but really.......that silliness belongs on the Clown thread.

"There is some doubt as to whether or not he was born in America---the tutu in Kenya is reported to have said he was born in Kenya." There shouldn't be. His grandmother was apparently mis-translated. When the interviewer pressed the issue, she told him Obama was born in Hawaii. "if Obama was not born in Hawaii and is not a citizen due to either that factor or his having been adopted in Indonesia by Soetoro as Barry Soetoro" Unless the laws were different back then, Obama was not an Indonesian citizen. Apparently it is very difficult for non-Indonesian minors to become citizens without having an Indonesian father. Besides, even if that were the case, unless they went to an embassy or consulate and specifically renounced his US citizenship, the US would have considered him a citizen. If they had renounced his citizenship, there would be an official record of it.
