Debunking a chain email

I thought this presidential election it was going to be different because I have not seen any chain emails since 2008. That all changed this morning and I was going to go through each line and rebut each claim but luckily another blogger already has.

This is his answer to the chain email that was published in our newspaper.

I came across a list of Obama firsts and did a little research on them. I even added a few at the bottom. I also added my own assessment of the truthfulness or credibility of the claim along with a link so others can research it. And I numbered them to make them easier to discuss. If anyone can find an error or any contradictory evidence, I would like to see it.
I hope you find it interesting. I learned a lot!
1. First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner (not true. This began as a April Fool's joke and has fooled many people, even Mike Huckabee. No college has released Obama's records yet.) http://factcheck.org/2010/04/april-fools-still/

It appears Obama will not be on the ballot in Georgia (for the primary, at least) but if he will do everything he can to hold onto power. Americans have to be informed in order to stop him. Best wishes to you!

Why do all the research if the one who posted will not admit he tried to pull a fast one?

All the credit goes to this young gentleman.I agree with everything he wrote but I could have added more detail but why?
