He saw his father ONE time when he was around 10 years old yet he and his wife considers Kenya his homeland.

This is why a President MUST be natural born citizen, as intended by the Founders. No allegiance to another country. No divided loyalties.
She mentioned Kenya because she was talking about diesease in Africa. I'm sure if she was talking about farming corn, she would have referred to Kansas in the same way.

What about Obama's mother and her parents? They were born in the US. They raised him. So Obama has a Motherland (United States) and a Fatherland (Kenya)?

Perhaps she could have meant Obama was born in Kenya.

Well if it was for REAL then why didn't she bring it to court? huh? It is unconstitutional for a non-natural born person to be president. So if any of this was true, it would have been taken care of 3-4 years ago. End of discussion.

Accept it.

Addressing the crowds who crammed into the town, Reagan tried a bit of Gaelic, thanking the people of Ireland for welcoming him to his ancestral home. "I know at last whence I came,'' he declared. "And this has given my soul a new contentment. And it is a joyous feeling. It is like coming home after a long journey. I can't think of a place on the planet I would rather claim as my roots more than Ballyporeen."

Default I guess JFK admitted to being German, then...

"Ich bin ein Berliner", that's pretty damning.
