This is hard to comment on. I kept thinking that it explained BO's passion for immigration reform... The Dream Act. He must be aware that he is not a natural born citizen and an imposter in the White House.
It's true that he has divided loyalties. He is clearly his father's son and favours the blacks over the whites in every instance.
He supports the underdogs, unless they're white. He has a chip on his shoulder, regardless of where he was born, and he is hiding something. These are not good qualities for the POTUS.
The State Department author, Leventhal, wrote "The Obama Birth Controversy" (which is no longer accessible at America.gov) and in it reportedly referenced this FactCheck.org info posted August 29, 2008 (which is still accessible for verification):
A: No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 23rd birthday.
[sic]
at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.
[sic]
given that Obama qualified for citizen of the UKC status at birth and given that Obama's father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), it follows that Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963.
[sic]
the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya's Constitution specifies that at age 23, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1984.
Corrected (Sep. 3, 2009): Our original article incorrectly stated that then- Sen. Obama lost his Kenyan citizenship on Aug. 4, 1982. The correct date is Aug. 4, 1984. The Kenyan Constitution required Obama to choose whether to keep either his U.S. or Kenyan citizenship upon his 21st birthday, which was in 1982. But we initially missed that the Constitution provided him a two-year window for making that choice. So Obama did not lose his Kenyan citizenship until his 23rd birthday in 1984. We have updated the item to reflect this.

Obama could not be a dual citizen at birth and also a natural born citizen of America. Nor does Congress have the authority to simply declare by law/act/resolution or Amendment whatever they want the term natural born citizen to mean. Additionally, ex post facto law as an attempt to attach the term to Obama retroactively, like they wrongfully did with McCain, is not allowed by the Constitution.
This is a reminder for Shoonra and company that the original "birthers" were largely Democrats back when the issue was McCain's citizenship status.

defining "natural born citizen", etc. I've covered this for Militia under the Militia act whereby Congress restricted membership to those between 17 and 45. IF Congress held this authority, Congress could make the Militia everyone under age 4 or everyone over age 80. If you accept the first, 17-45, then you have no choice but to accept an alternative. [My note: I disagree with their opinion of no choice to nullify Congressional over-reach and absurdity. Continuing...]
An honorable person would have simply made arrangements for proof of birth without blinking an eye. [My note: I can't logically fault them for arriving at that assessment. Continuing...]
And since the We the People are the boss, We the People have the authority to require proof.
