The problem is that Obama Sr is a Kenyan citizen. If the American mom was 18 (which she was) at the time of birth, the citizen parent must prove physical presence in the United States or its outlying possessions for a total period of ten years, with at least five of those years being after the age of sixteen. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to be a natural-born citizen. Otherwise, the citizenship goes to the place of birth and the father's native country, Kenya, Africa.

A little history:

Barry's parents’ marriage took place on February 2nd, 1961, six months before his birth . Barry Obama was born August 4, 1961. Mysteriously Barry and his mom (and Barack Sr.? and Madelyn Dunham?) show up at Ms Blake's house on Mercer Island, Washington two weeks after the birth. That marriage ended in divorce in 1964. In June, 1964, Senior left Harvard with a masters degree in economics and returned to Kenya to join the fledgling Kenyatta government as a senior economist. In 1967, Barry's mom married Lolo Soetoro and all moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. It was there that Barry was adopted by his step-father and given the last name Soetoro. It is there that Barry acquired Indonesian citizenship in approximately 1965-1966, and may still hold it.

Barack Barry Hussien Obama-Soetoro may hold dual citizenship and American citizenship may not be one of them. He may hold Kenyan and Indonesian citizenships and may have even neglected to obtain American citizenship to this date. If it is proven that he was born in Kenya, his eligibility to be in the Senate or the Presidency is null and void. In fact, it is fraud and is a criminal offense. Ignorance of the law is no defense.

The Indonesian connection is interesting and probably very important. I watched Berg's latest video and his point is well taken: according to him, even if BHO was born in Hawaii, he's most probably NOT eligible to be President because the Indonesian school documents declare him to have held citizenship there... that status being required for entering school.

All right, then so what? Berg's point is that this strips BHO of any claim as a natural born citizen of the US, and requires him to re-establish citizenship with a status as 'naturalized'... and Berg so far can't even figure out if that ever occurred. But it wouldn't matter: as 'naturalized' (as best), that would put him in the same Presidential category as Gov. Ah-nold: ineligible.

Now the response from the Obama camp would be something like "well, my parents wanted me to go to school, and nobody ever checked up on this stuff, so I guess they just declared me an Indonesian citizen strictly for the purposes of education... it was all a fraud; I still held a US passport." Indonesian law would seem to beg to differ.

We're kinda running out of time on this, eh?
