How is he any less "american" than John H. Sununu himself? Who is Sununu to question Pres. Obama's 'american-ness"?

There are some who would say that Barack Obama is actually "more" American that John Sununu.

Having been born in Hawaii- (not Cuba) Having been born to a mother who traces her ancestry back to 1640's Mass. Bay Colony and Native American ancestry. Sununu's father was born in Jerusalem of Lebanese decent, his mother was born in San Salvador and is also of Lebanese decent.

What differences would you point to between the two men other than their skin color?

I certainly can't be their country of origin, or the country of origin of their parents.
