It really doesn't matter whether or not President Obama was born in Kenya, as long as his mother had US citizenship. I have son who was born outside the US in Germany. We traveled to Hamburg to get him to register his birth with the consulate and get him a passport. He is a full-blown US citizen and eligible to run for president.
But what matters the most about the "birther" controversy is what Barack Obama himself said about himself through his own literary agents in the 1990s. There is an article on this at Breitbart.com. It seems his literary agents published a brochure claiming that he was born in Kenya. The Obama administration has dismissed this by saying that he did not know about this, but that is a total laugh. I have published a book and my agents always had me proof read the brochure wording and, moreover, were quite unable to come up with any bio without me first providing it, either in writing or verbally, but generally in writing. Literary agents are not mind readers when it comes you bio; they don't just make stuff up without your approval, for they know that they can bet sued for publishing false information about you. So the idea that Barack Obama knew nothing about his literary agent's brochure is just a bunch of crock.
The late Lawrence Eagleburger summed it up accurately on the night of the election in 2008 by saying that Obama is a charlatan.
