He's a US citizen.

PolitiFact | Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter

Excerpt:


When the official documents were questioned, we went looking for more answers. We circled back to the Department of Health, had a newsroom colleague bring in her own Hawaii birth certificate to see if it looks the same (it’s identical). But every answer triggered more questions.

And soon enough, after going to every length possible to confirm the birth certificate’s authenticity, you start asking, what is reasonable here?

Because if this document is forged, then they all are.
If this document is forged, a U.S. senator and his presidential campaign have perpetrated a vast, long-term fraud. They have done it with conspiring officials at the Hawaii Department of Health, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies.


<snip>


But step back and look at the overwhelming evidence to the contrary and your sense of what’s reasonable has to take over.

There is not one shred of evidence to disprove PolitiFact’s conclusion that the candidate’s name is Barack Hussein Obama, or to support allegations that the birth certificate he released isn’t authentic.
And that’s true no matter how many people cling to some hint of doubt and use the Internet to fuel their innate sense of distrust.

What? Where's the McCain/Palin mob, crying "foul"? Cut and run, I guess. That's what they always do when confronted with the truth.

Thanks for posting.

Personally, I was hoping that it was fake as hell and he got away with it for his entire eight year run.

That would have been true justice.

I really don't care, but it would be nice if someone can post a reliable source when debating about his qualifications for the POTUS
