Obama is an American and eligible to be president as the Constitution defines it: he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961. Why would you say he's not American? His father was born in Kenya, but what's that got to do with anything?

I see no reason why he couldn't win the general election if he wins the nomination, but his positions on the issues are much too liberal for me. Still, I think I'd prefer him to Hillary or Algore.
