"If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hold the right side in the dispute, there is still no single good reason for precipitate action. "Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way, all our present difficulty. "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue… "The government will not assail you. "You can have no conflict without being you yourselves the aggressors. "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Ok, so the birthers not only claim Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii, but they have an argument for even if he was born in the US.
His father, who did not live in the United States for more than a couple of years, was a subject/citizen of Kenya/Great Britain at the time of Barack’s birth and afterwards, AND further, as Barack himself admitted on his website during the 2008 campaign, Barack was therefore born SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNANCE OF GREAT BRITAIN.
The FACT that he was not born of TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS is all that matters. The question of his birth certificate is a distraction (a distraction fostered by Obama’s supporters?) that ought not to occupy our time and resources.
Except this is not so, and has already been debunked before.
Not only does it make no sense (if Britain changed the law so that anyone born in America was also a British Citizen, would no one be able to become President? It's our laws that matter, not theirs.), but Obama is not even the only/first President to only have 1 American parent. There have been 7, that's SEVEN, Presidents of the United States with 1 parent a US Citizen and the other a foreigner.
Thomas JeffersonI'm sorry some people not only don't understand the law, but also can't do a little research.

This page will calculate the tax cuts McCain is proposing compared to what Barack Obama is proposing.
Barack Obama will cut taxes for over 95% of American families. (even though more than half of American think he'll raise their taxes)
