My British father makes me a British citizen because he was born in Scotland. My British passport does not make my kids British because I was not. Furthermore, The US does not like dual citizenship. I think Obama would have had to choose in any event, even if the above were not true. But why am I wasting time on this. Too much to do to worry about bringing facts to a stupid fight.
