Looks like Obama has had more of an American Experience than Steve King
Not by King's standards. By the thinking of some conservatives, the more you know about the world outside our borders, the less American you are.
Which is why both Romney and Huntsman were criticized in the Republican primaries for knowing foreign languages. And Obama is criticized for (gasp!) actually living in a foreign country. Ignorance, it seems, is slowly becoming a GOP value.
Though apparently consistency isn't. As you never hear the 'American Experience' argument used on say, Ted Cruz. A natural born Canadian born to a Cuban Canadian father who lived for 4 years with our neighbors to the north.
But then, if Barack Obama had been Barry O'Bama whose dad was from Dublin, you probably wouldn't be hearing any of this 'American Experience' gibberish from the right either.
Obama was born in Hawaii, swam on the beaches, played for his HS Basketball team, went to the prom, graduated college
What American experience has King had?
