How much truth to this and would it make any difference?
Discussion
I'd be inclined to believe the Hawaii State Department over some news article.

If I was Obama I'd wander about in an Arab dish-dash and I'd hide whatever I was reading in a copy of the Koran, purely for my own entertainment.
Even if he was born in Kenya I can't see what the issue is. (I know you have to be born in the USA to be president). New Zealand's leader Julia Gillard was born in Wales.

Along with the natural born citizen definition, the word processed 'typewriter' certificate, it was already a forgone conclusion.
I doubt anyone actually believed Obongo was born on US soil from the outset, but they voted for him anyway. He's a legit president in that sense. He just needs to grow a pair, stop lying, and admit who he is, and the yanks can amend their constitution accordingly.

There's a very interesting and seemingly well researched book here for anybody that's interested;

Whether you believe he was born outside the US or not there's an awful lot of unanswered questions not least why the Democrats made so much of John McCain's US citizenship but Obama got away with few questions being asked even though his citizenship seemed less clear.
I know it's not bang up to date because it doesn't talk about the 2011 birth certificate but why has it taken so long for this to surface.
There's also this quote;
"...This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office..."
It's all a bit odd and murky IMO.
