Lol, that would be a good one! Though I never understood why Obama never played the best card he had on "birtherism": "It doesn't matter if I was born in the US or not - My mother was, so I'm a natural-born citizen either way." A child of one US citizen parent is a citizen so long as the one parent spent 5 or more total years in the USA and 2 of those years were when older than 14 years old.

Kelly - that's an excellent thought and I've thought the same thing. It must happen with people in the military all the time. But his mother had a unusual career and he doesn't talk about her much. I have my own theories about who she worked for. I think Obama was groomed to be President from a young age. I have the same feeling about Bill Clinton. I knew someone who went to college with Clinton and they said he didn't go to class - just read the text book and took the tests and got A's. He is a smart guy, no question about it. Still, something doesn't seem right. Both Obama and Clinton were raised by single mothers, both only children except for step-siblings. I don't know the answer, but my "groomed for President" theory might be a thing.
