That troubling question of allegiance.

By what amazing logical leaps did Mr. Obama arrive at this point where he — with only a vaporous, tenuous and inconsequential relationship with his Kenyan father — could have behaved as he did in Kenya?
On his trip to Kenya last year, he began by lecturing the frustrated audiences not to expect his prominence in Washington to change their lives—“My time is not my own. Don’t expect me to come back here very often.” But in the slum of Kibera, the crowd’s adulation overcame his intellectual defenses and he began shouting joyously, “You are all my brothers and sisters!”
Is this man an American or not? Where does his allegiance lie?
