Does anybody believe grandparents actually teach you about Pledge or Natinal Anthem? Elemetary school teachers do! That's how my kids learned their Pledge, not from me.
Obama grew up in Indonesia and went to public elementary school there. I doubt he fully knows about Pledge of Allegiance which is taught at primary school here. I came from China more than 20 years ago and became a US citizen almost ten years ago. I still don't know fully the Pledge or the National Anthem and what you are supposed to do when you pledge or sing, at least not insitictively. I think that the constitution requires US President to be US born is a wise one. It maybe even better to amend it to be US raised in addition to be US born. A person like me that grew up and was educated in a foreign country could never completely be at home here no matter how much I love this country. And US President should be US born and US educated (at least before college) so that he/she can be the commander-in-chief of the US military. If the US President is not commander-in-chief of the military, I would say anybody could be eligible to be US President.
