All I did was try to clarify the arguments being posted here.
SourD said that if Obama was admitted as a foreign student but wasn't, then it was a criminal or fraudulent act.
HistorianDude rebutted that assertion, because there is NO law against an American citizen applying as a foreign student. And indeed it's happened, as children of celebrities and diplomats have been students in foreign nations, but have returned for college to the United States.
MB pointed out how impractical a foreign student application would be in Obama's situation, since he attended school in the United States and was an American citizen.
But American citizens who attend schools abroad, and whose primary residence is abroad, have a different situation.
For instance, if Gwynneth Paltrow's son Moses wanted to apply to an American university as a foreign student, he could. Gwynneth's primary residence is in England, presumably her children will attend school in England. But Gwynneth is an American citizen, and she gave birth to Moses in NYC, so he is without a doubt an American citizen.
Students who are attending US schools on a foreign visa are eligible for international student loans. Community organizing doesn't pay the bills at Haaavard. Uncle Sam doesn't help out international students with federal aid. Maybe that is why bammer hates the US??
False. When Dreams From My Father was published in 1995, the original dust jacket states "his father's departure from Hawaii when Barack was only two..." It says nothing about where Obama was born.
Who cares what the dust jacket does not say?
The book itself says he was born in Hawaii. So do interviews as far back as 1990... more than a year before his agent got in wrong in a pamphlet bio blurb.

This is of course a bald faced lie. There does not exist a single instance (other than when mocking Birthers) of Obama ever once saying he was born anywhere other than Honolulu.

What would you hallucinate is random about it? Sri Lanka, Switzerland and Idaho... now those would be random.
Kenya, Indonesia and Hawaii on the other hand are rather obviously not random.
They don't. I looked at several and they all say you can't do that.
This is a lie.
Please quote and link for us a single university that says anywhere in anything they have published in print or on line that "you can't be admitted as a foreign student if you are a US citizen."

Translation: SourD got caught in a lie and is now just whistling past the graveyard.

Yeah, they would. Notice how those weren't used.
Now, comment on the 'Obama's father left Hawaii when Obama was two' lie.
