Obama's birthplace

Troll
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

The article states that the president was born in Honolulu. Shouldn't it state that he was born in Kenya? Haresandhounds (talk) 21:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obama Nobel prize

From the article:

Obama's Nobel Prize has been viewed skeptically in subsequent years, especially after the director of the Nobel Institute, Geir Lundestad, said Obama's Peace Prize was a "failure"

This suggests that the director of the Nobel Institute feels that Obama is undeserving of the award, while the referenced article actually states that the director expected the honor to deliver a boost to Obama, something he believes did not happen. In other words its a failure of the award to boost Obama, not a failure of Obama as the Wikipedia article seems to suggest.

Trayvon Martin shooting

There is no mention of his famous Trayvon Martin speech which I think the media seized on for gun control legislation. (mostly liberal outlets)
