How many of you out there think it’s an outrage that, under the Constitution, a pregnant citizen of another country can enter the United States and give birth to a child who automatically, by virtue of being born in this country, is a United States citizen, even though that child’s parent is a foreigner?

Okay, got it.

Now ... how many of you same people also think that President Obama, who was born in the United States, in the state of Hawaii, to a mother who was a native-born U.S. citizen, is not a U.S. citizen because his father was Kenyan -- a foreigner?
Right. That’s all for today, class. Please take your tinfoil hats with you on the way out.
