The issue of mixed nationality parentage can be particularly tricky - but I think the BBC cover the issue in this clip with sensitivity and insight, particularly as regards the French.

Seems odd having a load of colonial immigrants in a country entirely made up of immigrants trying to decide which types of immigrants can be president and which types of immigrants can't be president by refering to a constitution written by immigrants whe were also born as citizens of an entirely different country and therefore also not entitled to be president of the country they founded. . . . . . . nuts

Some US politicians claim his Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake and they're chasing his real certificate up.

He hasn't produced it yet, has he?

The NSA or some other spook group will work him one up to avoid national unrest if nothing else.

Well if he is British, he can't be President of the USA, which rather buggers thing up.

Ah I didn't realise we could follow something racist with "That was a joke BTW" to ensure no castigation.

Which bit of the word black is actually 'racist', or are you just jumping on the knee-jerk shock horror outraged bandwagon?

Anyway, if you hadn't noticed, he's technically a mulatto - or to quote Obama himself, a 'mutt' smile

Nope, I'm 'jumping' because I'm a fuzzy wuzzy. I usually agree with your close to the mark posts Simpo but would it be right if someone in Jo'burg said that a white child born there isn't African? (That was a joke BTW rolleyes), a joke is supposed to be funny.

Whatever will those who hate him so much do when he is gone? Find something else to hate or will they be forced to stick to the thread topic?
