Are a lot of the criticisms directed at Obama irrational?

I didn;t vote for Obama, but some of the critiques come across as a tad irrational. For example,1. "We;ve never seen his school records but we just know for a fact that he took aid destined to foreign students while at college"2. "He was born in Kenya!"3. "He;s not a natural-born citizen even if he was born in Hawai;i! Natural born means you have to have two US citizen parents at the time of birth!" (the US Constitution only indicates two kinds of citizens -natural born and naturalized as there are only two kinds of US citizens: those who are citizens by way of birth; those who are citizens by way of naturalization!)4. "He;s Muslim and he spent 20 years at Rev. Wright;s church!"5. "He;s a socialist and he;s a huge beneficiary of money from Goldman Sachs! Plus, he;s a socialist who just gave the biggest bonanza of all time to the private insurance companies with a mandate!" 6. "He traveled to Pakistan on a foreign passport in 1981 as U.S. passport holders were not admitted to Pakistan that year!"

How can I convince my parents to go on a Europe Tour?

It is like an excursion (2 weeks) in the holidays with my school.That is relevant to ;history;.It is really expensive I am not going to lie but it includes so many places and everything is included except travel insurance. It costs $7000My friends parents agreed already since it is to do with "education".I know some people will say I have to work for it…But I mean like… not even in 2 years of work or hard labour would I even earn $7000. I am doing my A-Levels soon (it is similar to the University entrance exam) and I can;t afford to waste my time to do work.This is relevant to my studies…So what can I say to my parents to agree…Anything persuasive?I really love history soo… and they know that but they are really stubborn and they don;t care if I like a subject or not…
