While what you are saying about Indonesian schools may be true today - I am not
knowledgeable about the current school system in Indonesia, so I will not
debate that.
While that may be true, it surely wasn't true in the 70's when Obama went
there. Records show he was registered in that school as a muslim.
One more thing, he was adopted by an Indonesian muslim. If he was adopted to
be an Indonesian, he would have automatically lost his U.S. citizenship and
gained Indonesian citizenship and automatically became a muslim. In Indonesia,
you gain the religion of your adoptive father. Indonesia does not have and
never had a "Dual Citizenship" program with the US. Which means that he would
have had to reacquire his US citizenship when he reached 18. He had to do
something to gain back his US citizenship. Which automatically made him a
naturalized US citizen, not a Natural-Born US citizen required by our
constitution.
One of my cousins was in the same boat and he was born about the same time as
Obama. He was born in U.S. soil (New York) but his parents brought him back to
the Philippines. By US law, as a minor, he has no official citizenship status
if there is a question as to his citizenship. In my cousin's case, he was born
on US soil to Filipino parents. Hence, his citizenship status was in limbo,
until he can make a decision when he turns 18. He can choose to be Filipino or
US citizen. When my cousin turned 18, he had to go to the US Embassy to
choose US citizen and get his papers (passport). He is considered a
Naturalized US citizen. A person that has to take action to gain US
citizenship is not a Natural Born US citizen. This is the status of Obama even
if he was indeed born in Hawaii. He would still be a Naturalized US citizen
and hence unqualified.
So, as you can see, Obama is unqualified to be POTUS on many fronts. The
argument about whether he was born in Hawaii or not is just one aspect of his
qualification (non-qualification) to be POTUS.
In a free society like America, such questions about his qualifications should
have been vetted openly. If there was even a hint as to his qualifications, it
should have been settled publicly and openly. Why don't people take this issue
seriously. Even if people think that his BC was original and valid, people
should still be calling for it to be settled once and for all. Open up the
vault copy. No other steps or half measures will do. Great controversies
require great measures to settle. Let the Birthers see it and it they are
wrong, you get the chance to humiliate them to your heart's content. If I am
wrong about this, I'm sure I will have great shame and tuck my tail between my
legs and go away quietly.

The earlier posting on "muslim" schools is confused.
Some "Muslim" schools have a curriculum that is based solely on the Qur'an.
This kind of school would only attract non-Muslim students interested in the
Qur'an, or in the culture of Islam.
Some "Muslim" schools have a standard secular curriculum, and are attended
mostly by Muslims, thus confusing some into calling them "Muslim" schools.
Some "Muslim" schools are merely called such because they operate in a Muslim
country, like Indonesia. This is like calling US public schools "Christian"
because they operate in a predominantly Christian country.
To suggest that President Obama must be a Muslim because he went to a
"Muslim" school in Indonesia is a statement that at best is meaningless.

Before Lomax spins this again; may I simply ask readers to research this
on their own to see which of us both is lying.
