Obama's mother re-married an Indonesian man and moved to Indonesia, and her new husband legaly adopted Obama. He's a naturilzed Indonesian citizen.

Everyone knows that bit of information, but the sentence I quoted is borderline retarded.

Indonesia bans children from going to school who aren't Indonesian citizens and doesnt allow dual citizenship?  Other than that being a stupid made up law, I wonder if these fools ever thought about the thousands of embassy workers (and ther families) as well as international businessmen (and families) that live in Indonesia and send their kids to school there.

Oh, and the issue is not just where he was born. It’s that he went to school in Indonesia. When he went to school, they did not allow dual citizenship, and only allowed citizens of Indonesia to go to school.

Thats the most stupid thing I have ever heard someone make up that someone else was gulible enough to believe.

Indonesia bans children from going to school who aren't Indonesian citizens?

Correct, only citizens are allowed to go to public schools. Foreigners go to private schools.

Indonesia doesn't allow dual citizenship?

Correct, though it may have changed now.

 

 



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
