#1 It was finally pointed out to me why Obama is always a bit off and a bit slow on his details. He is probably a U.S. Citizen, probably born in Hawaii, but he is a foreigner. His formative years were in Hawaii and Indonesia. He is just a foreigner trying to convince mid-westerners that he has the same core values. He would make a good ambassador, he does not have the same values as most Americans because he is a foreigner.

#2 Functionally, Mr. Obama is an expat brat, business variety (as opposed to military or diplomatic). The thing is, they tend to see themselves as temporary and outsiders trying to blend in with whichever group they find themselves... until they move again. Functionally they tend to avoid dealing with problems on the assumption that soon enough they will be moved away from it. It took years for the trailing daughters to stop thinking that we were back in the States for only a few years, the same years it took to fill the holes in their knowledge of American history, behaviour and vocabulary... and when we came back trailing daughter #1 was about to start first grade. Mr. Obama moved back in seventh or eighth grade, I understand.
