It's also pretty racist to assume that about the first African-American President. --- Cleveland sports fan XBL: FourLeaf440, PSN: TroutPaste89, Steam: 4leaf440, Nintendo: 1800-4200-6969 ...

It shouldn't matter. Obama could be a Kenyan or a Muslim and it shouldn't make a bit of difference.
I guess that stuff matters quite a bit to a lot of people though. They came out in droves to vote for Trump. ... Copied to Clipboard!

No. It was absolutely 100% racial based by people that didn't like the fact that the president was black, zero exceptions whatsoever. If you kept absolutely everything the same about him, but instead his name was Barry O'Brien II and his deadbeat dad was an Irish national instead, there would've been no birther conspiracy.
And it's all the more idiotic, as being an American is like being Jewish. If you are birthed from an American mother, you're a natural born citizen regardless of where you're born. So, even if he was born overseas for whatever idiotic reason that never made any sense, he still would've been a natural born citizen. --- The poster formerly known as Kakarot181: July 2, 2002 - March 14, 2012.

There was no basis to it, and I'm sure a lot of people pushed it just because they hated Obama, but I think some were also confused since Obama lived in Indonesia for a few years when he was a small child so some could think he might've been born there, and others might have thought his dad being Kenyan somehow means he might've been born in Kenya.
