GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

    Yes, Barack IS a citizen...

    http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/citizen.asp

    To those who are posting on this site and others that Barack Obama cannot win the election because he is not a citizen, please check the above link on snopes.com. Hawaii became a state in 1959 (it's Hawaii's birthday today!). Barack was born there two years later. His mother already was a natural-born citizen of the US. His father's citizenship status is irrelevant - actually, so is his mom's, as Barack himself was born in the USA.
