Among the reasons failed former GOP Senator Rick Santorum thinks President Obama isn't very American is the fact that he grew up in the American state of Hawaii.
"Obama is detached from the American experience. He just doesn't identify with the average American because of his own background. Indonesia and Hawaii."I have my issues with the President (who I voted for), but to suggest his background isn't American based on which American state he was raised in, well that's simply bizarre. And then to talk about Obama having spent some time living abroad as a child, that this is also a disqualifier. My mother lived abroad as a child, as she immigrated from Greece. Lots of people's parents and grandparents and ancestors immigrated to this country - actually, most of them did. What is Santorum suggesting, that our immigrant ancestors weren't fully American? The founding fathers?
