Hawaii is part of the United States.
Anyone born in a part of the United States is a US citizen.
Obama was born in Hawaii.
Therefore Obama is a US citizen.
[T]he Obama campaign released a copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate during the presidential race. But the fact that it was a copy and not the original, which according to Hawaii law cannot be released publicly, did not quell the furor. So the director of the Department of Health in Hawaii, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, released a statement last fall, and again last month, attesting to the authenticity of the president’s birth.

The state’s Republican governor, Linda Lingle, has said that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.

[A] poll released last week by Research 2000 revealing that an astounding 28 percent of Republicans actually think that Obama was not born in the United States and another 30 percent are “not sure.”

To those of you for whom all of this is incomprehensible (unacceptable…whatever):
  • We have a black president.
  • The civil war ended around 150 years ago.
  • You lost.
  • Get over it.
