I had two Muslim fathers, both of whom were immigrants. And I never forgot my roots.

As the battle between John McCain and Barack Obama for Hispanic votes heats up, it raises the question of what relates better, an immigrant father or an absentee father? For Obama, the answer is an absentee father.
This morning Obama's campaign e-mailed reporters the script for his first Spanish-language radio ad of the general election, designed to portray him as sharing the same experiences as many Latino voters, and it included these lines:
"His father was an immigrant. His mother from a humble, middle class family. Through student loans and hard work, he graduated from college.
Obama never pulled people down as he made his way up…"
But about an hour later the campaign sent out what it said was the final script, which changed those lines to read:
"He grew up without a father — raised by his mother with the support of his grandparents.
Through student loans and hard work, he graduated from college.
Obama never forgot his roots…"
On a conference call with reporters, the Obama campaign said the first version was a draft.
Rep. Xavier Becerra, a campaign surrogate, told reporters the ad was designed to show Obama was "one of us" because "his experience is our experience."

And just where is Obama Mama?
Why haven’t we heard from her?
And a deadbeat dad who abandoned his family, had children with other women almost indiscriminately, and who left a hole in my psyche, exacerbated by the racial and religious aspects, that I am still trying to fill..... by becoming president!
Obama had two Muslim fathers who taught him to love Islam.
He has never stopped.
The evidence is overwhelming:

B Hussein has a sibling or half-sibling? Where are they now? Guess his mother just didn’t like American men....
Yep...I buy that...a black Muslim father, a white mother, raised by grandparents, educated at Harvard Law. Pretty much describes all the immigrants I know.
My thought too - where is that “baby?”
She died in the early 90’s. Where the heck is gramma?
His father was an African socialist economist, Marxism with a little African nationalism thrown in. His mom and dad met in Russian class at a university. His mom never found anything about America that she liked. Why, oh why, is this poster boy for anti-Americanism running for President, other than to please the leftists?
Neither his father nor his stepfather were “immigrants.” Both came to the USA on student visas, to attend university here.When their studies were completed, they complied with the terms of their temporary visas and returned home. They never intended to immigrate to the USA. He is lying about this.
“They never intended to immigrate to the USA. He is lying about this.”
Obama’s past has been either ignored or distorted beyond recognition. I blame the media for this, the people who run the media are firmly in Obama’s camp.
It’s like the Omen, everyone around him dies or disappears..........
I’ll take “Distorted beyone reason” for $1000, Alex.
Behold the candidate who not only changes his policy positions on an hourly basis to suit to his audience, he changes his biography. All hail the philosopher king!
Where is Obama HUSSEIN’S Legal Birth Certificate?
The one his campaign has posted is an ILLEGAL FORGERY!
Obama seems to LIE about everything, it appears he is a compulsive Liar and Con-Man!
Well Obama wins. He had two immigrant fathers and two absentee fathers.
Obama’s sister is the one who claims she knows for a fact he was born in Hawaii. Of course you can see that she would have to have a time machine to know anything for a fact about where he was born.
