Again, I concur. Home country does not mean place of birth.
I have known many Italian Americans, Irish Americans and the like who refer to the homelands of their parents and grandparents as "homeland."
It refers to cultural heritage.

one would think that a buy born Hawaii and currently holding the most important position that exists in the country would call USA his home land. Show a bit of class for sh*t sake.
edit to add:
This reinforces my belief that anyone applying for the job of President needs to have served in the Armed forces in some capacity before being put on the ballot. (an no, I didn't think McCain was all that)

Looks like you disagree w/ the constitution on all points here. Must be another one of those conservative judicial activists.
Best,

You do realize that "home country" does not have to mean "born there" ... right?

If you consider that Obama is (or is accused of...) depending on one's view - either quite politically correct (culturally or otherwise) and is constantly taking into consideration the affects of his words/actions on others (nations included) why would it be so inconceivable that he's throwing a bone to Kenya while appearing to be culturally sensitive? It's entirely possible, some would say probable.
I'm not in this debate one way or another - I just think this "particular instance" has been played out (reference the search link I posted) and therefore, this thread is pointless... that 30 sec. video could have (if not already) been added to the existing debate/argument/witch hunt.
Cheers
