I thought that his father was Kenyan and that he was born in the US. Doesn't his being born in Kenya disqualify him from running for president? Or was he born to a foreign service worker or something like that?
No, the reporter is just an idiot.
I never heard that he was born in Kenya. As far as I know, he was born in Hawaii, while his father was in college, when his father got accepted to Harvard grad school, he abandoned the family, returning only a few times to visit the kid. The mother remarried, another Muslim and moved to Indonesia, then back to Hawaii. The kid was raised alternately Muslim and Catholic. Since he was Muslim in his early days, I would consider him to still be Muslim.
