A McCain supporter described Barack Obama as "non-citizen" and asked

the media to look into his citizenship. Obama was born in Hawaii, a

U.S. state, on August 4, 1961 and is indeed a U.S. citizen. McCain,

however, was born in the Panama Canal Zone and has been the subject of

constitutional debate around the definition of "natural born citizen."

Filmed by Chuck Olsen in Lakeville, MN.
