PopSitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I'm sure he's unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he's still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He's so unhappy, to which he replies . . .
But I don't care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I've been saving; I'm laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I've got on mine and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; 'cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop's black-framed glasses
And know he's laughing too.-- Barack Obama

What difference at this point does it make???

I think that we are going to see a lot more about Husain “surfacing” in the coming months.
Looks like Obama’s had a nose job since 1995.
bkmk
Obama is the only president who has an entire media industry to translate what he REALLY meant. BUT as with everything in Obama’s past uncle diddles is off limits.
Watching the video is painful. It’s the typical “UH” DUH EHH UH. And of course, “It’s all about me.”

Near the beginning he says “My father was black African...and my mother was a...” And I swear he was going to say “Muslim”.....and then says white american.
At 53:55 seconds Obama says that he just finished a racial case.
Any record of this?
His voice and speaking style is MUCH different. I need to learn about what they trained him in.
ping my best effort transcript of the short BirtherReport exerpt of a newly discovered tape of Barry naming Frank Marshall Davis as the “Frank” in “Dreams” who schooled Barry on white racism and who was a close friend of his Gramps:
“...and the passage finally ends with me having a conversation with a close friend of my maternal grandfather, a close friend of Gramps, a black man from Kansas named Frank, actually at the time a fairly well-known poet named Frank Marshall Davis, who had moved to Hawaii and lived there. And so I had a discussion with him about the kinds of frustrations that I am having and he sort of schools me on uh, that I should get used to these frustrations.”

Watched it all - interesting stuff. Thanks for posting...
Quite a nasty little caricature of his grandparents. How he relishes ridiculing their “white” voices.
