1. Kids seem to adore President Obama. |

I doubt they recognized the racism in what happened. Every time I see the President with a group of children, they're all just beaming at him. They know.

3. I doubt they'll think much about it at all. |

Yes, they're aware, but they're also perfectly capable of ignoring anything that doesn't seem relevant to them. Birth certificates are sort of meaningless to middle-schoolers and high-schoolers. That nobody in history has had to show one to run for office isn't probably even on their minds.
I remember that age. If it didn't matter right now, it didn't matter at all, pretty much.
