“Obama’s father’s tribe are reputed to have “earned their living” capturing more primitive people and selling them as slaves to the Arabs.”

Good point. Helps to have all sides of the story on the table.

Barry is acting stupidly.

His family traded slaves in the 1700’s and profited from wholesale human misery.

Obama: Omission of slaves' history 'unacceptable'

Hey, Barry! Did you know that slaves over a lifetime had only about 10% of their production expropriated by the slave master? Economically that's significantly better than what the federal government is doing to the most productive in society now. Maybe once we all become your slaves, you'll let us keep more like your forefathers did their slaves.

Great point! As taxpayers, we’re feeling more and more like slaves every day.

In further news, the Virginia governor stated that since the Obama administration was intent on ignoring the Constitution, Virginia was in its legal rights to henceforth ignore the 13th Amendment.

***Shouldn’t AP be correct and say Obama is our first half-black president?***

We know his papa was from the Mau-Mau areas of Kenya.

So, on his moma’s white side were his ancestors Redlegs, Jayhawkers or border ruffians! Pro or anit-slavery during the pre-civil war years!

Inquiring minds want to know!

And it was REPUBLICAN president Lincoln who freed the slaves.

The democrats were the southern slave owners.

It’s shocking how many people can’t tell you what party Lincoln belonged to.

"Yesterday obama was an expert on nukes, today he's an avid civil war historian..."

AND, he's now an expert on mining, also.

The sound of a Marxist exploiting white Liberal guilt.
