The parents can't give up his American citizenship in an American court, but it is in fact what they did in Indonesia. In Indonesia when he was a kid, he was an Indonesian citizen, and was summarily removed from his mothers passport. That can't be erased. It happened. It is documented history.

There is no doubt that Obama recited the Indonesian pledge of allegiance on a daily basis while we recited the American pledge and put our hands over our hearts.

On its face, his presidency is an assault on the constitution. There's no way around it.

Don't imagine things progress along the same course they do in the United States ~ Indonesia is far different.

Marriage, for example, is entirely private. Friend of mine decided he wanted to marry his Islamic girlfriend so he went to the mosque, provided his thumb print and they were married and he was suddenly a Moslem.

When's the last time you changed your religion and got married WITH nothing more than a thumbprint ~ no ceremony.

BTW, still didn't save him from expulsion. Sukarno kicked him out anyway.

Then there's social welfare. They don't collect taxes and then give the money to the poor. It's more direct. The local mullah comes around, assesses your wealth and income and tells you how many servants you must hire.

ALL the middlemen are cut out. Now that's "local, small government" eh!

If you went to Indonesia and sent your kids to a public school you would make a mistake. Instead, you'd want to do what the rich Moslems and foreigners do ~ send the kids to a Catholic school.

Obama spent a little bit of time in a "public school", then he went to a Catholic school.

As far as "citizenship" is concerned, in Indonesia the head of household provides that. America is far different. And, in Indonesia, it's always advisable for the head of household to advise EVERYONE that everybody in his household is Moslem! ALWAYS. Even if it's not true. That's one country where you go along to get along ~ or else
