I am really tired of the stories going around that Barack Obama Jr. is not a U.S. citizen. Check it out yourself. Google his name and click on birth certificate. It shows he was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Hawaii. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was a Kenya native and governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948. This also covered his children.

Obama Jr. never renounced his U.S. citizenship nor swore an oath of allegiance to Kenya. Therefore his Kenyon citizenship expired in 1982. Have you never heard of dual citizenship? If he were not eligible for the presidency, do you really think he would have been backed by any political party? Do you really think party members wouldn’t check out the legality of his running before investing the time and money into his campaign? Let’s quit the smear tactics.
