In order to become President, you must be a citizen of the United States. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, in Hawaii in 1961. Also, contrary to internet myths, he is not an Arab, nor does he have any Arabs in his family, and he did not visit any Arab countries till the 1980s. His father was born in Africa, his mother was born in Kansas, and he has a half-sister who was born in Indonesia.

What Arab culture did Obamas father come from?
Barack Obama's father was Kenyan.
Nationality of Obama's Father's Islam Muslim Arab Negro?
Nationality is something different from religion (Islam/ Muslim you mention) and ethnicity (Arab/ Negro - whatever latter may be! - you mention). As per the Whitehouse website, Mr Barack Obama's father is Kenyan (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-obama). It should also be noted that the president's father had long since left Islam, his birth religion, and by the time the future president was born, his father identified as an atheist (or an agnostic, depending on which sources you read).
Is Barack Obama Arab?
No. (excuse me, but is every person who has ever lived in Kenya an African? Also, are all Kenyan's African?") His biological father is a black Kenyan and his mother is white and from Kansas. The claims that Obama's father was Arabic rather than black are a complete fabrication. And President Obama was born in Hawaii, making him 100% American.
Are the Palestinians the Arabs Jews or Muslims?
Answer 1This is not a trichotomy. Arab is an ethnicity, Jew is an ethno-religious marker, and Islam is a religion. Therefore a person can (in theory) be an "Arab Jew", a "Jewish Arab", an "Arab Muslim", a "Muslim Arab", or a "formerly Jewish Muslim". (Whether or not these terms are used is something else.) In terms of the Palestinians, they are exclusively Arab, ethnically and the majority are Muslim, but there are some Arab Christian Palestinians, Arab Druze Palestinians (although most Druze identify as Israelis, Lebanese, or Syrians), and Arab Bahai'i Palestinians.Answer 2the people of Palestine are a variety of Muslims and Christians. They used to live in harmony with the Jews under the British State (there was never a Muslim state that exclusively ruled Palestine).As soon as the Jewish areas received independence and Statehood, discord and war broke out.
