Obama is older than me so it is probably 50-50 that he did not attend kindergarten.

Yup, and he moved to Indonesia when he was six, which means he could not have attended first grade in Hawaii.

Nothing to see here, people.

Amazing how birthers latch on to and get exicited about the most mundane, inconsequential things.

Things were run a lot looser back in those days. I wasn't born in the U.S. and I did not become a U.S. citizen until I was 18. In fact I did not have an official birth certificate with seal since the country of my birth would not issue one. I had to appeal to the U.S. consulate of my birth country to issue me a copy of my birth cert. to provide U.S. immigration for my application for citizenship. 12 years of public school and the school never had a copy of my birth certificate. No computer files back then either.

Anyway going to kindergarten was not mandatory back then and it was mostly a baby sitting venture that a lot of parents opted out of.

If Obama was born in Hawaii then he is a natural born U.S. citizen. Whether his mother was old enough or in the country long enough are moot points. Those other requirements are only if he was born outside the U.S. as John McCain.
