What is Obama's True Nationality?

Barrack Obama is a name synonymous with the politics world. The reason being he is the 44th and the current president of the United States of America. Already in the public domain, Obama is known to have heritage roots in Africa, Kenya in particular, Indonesia, Ireland and the USA. Per his official bio, Obama was born on 4th August 1961 in Honolulu Hawaii to Barrack Obama Sr, a Kenyan Luo from Nyangoma, Nyanza Province; who was studying in the USA as a beneficiary of JFK airlifts, a scholarship program for bright African kids locally organized by Trade Unionist the late Tom Mboya; and Stanley Ann Dunham, a white lady of Irish ancestry from Wichita, Kansas. His biological were to later separate with his father returning to Kenya and his mother re-marrying an Indonesian man Lolo Soetoro and relocating to Indonesia. His father, despite being an acclaimed economist, brilliant scholar and academic, literally drank himself to death.

Some claims have been made that Obama was not born in the USA, with Kenya the most touted place of his birth. However, at the time of his birth, Kenya was still a British colony and segregated, as such, his relationship with a white woman would have faced a lot of unnecessary scrutiny. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that Obama Sr would have opted to bring his wife to Kenya.

Though a number of discrepancies in the Obama's story do exist,like his enrollment in university as an international student, after a thorough research I could only conclude one thing, Barrack Obama is an American, born in an American Protectorate, by then, born to a mother of Irish-English roots.

As to his father, though the relationship and marriage, and later divorce, between Ann Dunham and Barrack Obama is not in dispute, whispers are rife amongst mates and close friends to Obama Sr as to the nature of his relationship with Ann Dunham.
