NYT:
The president also addressed something that he rarely speaks about: his citizenship. Questions were initially raised by conservative groups during his presidential campaign and continue to regularly flare up on talk-radio programs and Tea Party rallies.And as Joe noted on AMERICAblog Gay, it's not terribly clear why the President brought up gay marriage, though it's good, and telling, that he felt the need to slap his hosts for ties to genocidal legislation in Uganda.
“Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith,” Mr. Obama said, “or for that matter my citizenship.”
“We may disagree about gay marriage,” Mr. Obama said, “but surely we can agree that it is unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are, whether it is right here in the United States or as Hillary mentioned more extremely in odious laws that are being proposed most recently in Uganda.”
