This line of argument was slightly off-putting when The One first deployed it in 2008 -- but at least back then, the question of whether Americans were prepared to elect the first African-American president with an admittedly "funny name" was very much open. We did. By a healthy margin. But now that he's floundering in the polls, our president appeared to revisit that racial well on The View

Obama is not an American in any traditional sense. I accept that he is a citizen, but how could anyone who spent his formative years as an outsider to his own country ever become culturally American? The fact that there are 50 states rolls from the mouths of grade-schoolers with no thought or effort, and yet Obama said he had visited 57 states. Sure, just a mistake, just a gaffe, (just words!) he KNOWS there are 50, but being essentially an immigrant, he sometimes has to stop and THINK about the things that we all know.
