There shouldn't be. His grandmother was apparently mis-translated. When the interviewer pressed the issue, she told him Obama was born in Hawaii.

Got a link for this assertion.....? First time I have heard it....and it should be helpful in putting the issue to bed....I think the whole non-citizen thing is a waste of time but BO could certainly have handled this issue a lot better....

This will help you get understand the issue:

Message 25239931

Several people interviewed Obama's grandmother. Several people report that she was adamant that he was born in Kenya. If you have a link for one which contradicts the rest, I would be interested.

FWIW recently it was reported that she still works in the fields. Apparently she is healthy and of sound mind.
