It is not disputed that President Obama's mother was born in Wichita, Kansas. Although I am an alumnus of the University of Missouri and therefore bitterly hate Kansas to my core, Kansas has been US soil since it became a state in 1861. It is safe to say that the President's mother was born after 1861 (she was born November 29, 1942) which would make her a US citizen at her birth simply because she was born on US soil.
Since she was a US citizen, it therefore does not matter who the President's father was, where he was from or where the President was in fact born. He could have been born on the moon and it wouldn't have mattered. His mother was a US citizen meaning that wherever he was born, he was a natural born US citizen as well.
So the President’s birth certificate and location of birth are completely irrelevant . . . unless he lied about it. If the President lied about where he was born, then the fact that he lied would be important, but the location of his birth would still not be relevant.
If the President did lie about the location of his birth, then he was badly misinformed and ill-advised to do so because as I have outlined here, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Myself, since it doesn’t matter and we have no conclusive evidence that the President was not born where he said he was, I say the whole matter should be dropped. We have real problems to deal with.
