Well, I moved 7 times before I was 10 years old. When people ask where i am from, I say, "well, take your pick. Well, I was born outside St. Louis, but I'm not really FROM anywhere, i moved 7 times before I was 10."

"oh, was your father military?" is the normal/usual response.

For a kid who was moved around a lot as a child like Obama was, and was finally ditched with his grandparents, yeah, I can see this response as being in the norm, or if not the norm, I at least can relate. It's a hard question to answer when you don't have a hometown.
