You are a Kenyan. The only thing you have in common with blacks in this country is your skin color.

This is racist, disgusting, despicable and un-American. In addition Obama tells lies and half truths.

The White House was designed by an Irishman named Hoban, and built by IRISH and SCITTISH WORKMEN...
Scottish masons erected the walls, but that was only part of the labor required to build the White House. Who dug the foundations and unloaded stone and brick at the site?
Much of the work was done by African-Americans, some free, many slaves, and that's been documented. James Hoban even owned three of the slaves.
More here.

there is however the possibility that he’d toast Jolted Joe Biden given that he’s a fellow huckster

"Look at our history. We are Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea, pioneers who braved the unfamiliar, followed by a stampede of farmers and miners, and entrepreneurs and hucksters. Thats our spirit. Thats who we are."Well, at least he has done his homework.
The first rule of any engagement is "Know your enemy".
At least Obama has identified those he wants to destroy. You know, free thinkers.

A lot of black Americans really believe that America’s wealth was largely built on slavery, and that without slavery, we would not be the powerhouse we are today. I try to explain that our wealth is not built on the proceeds from the agricultural South, and that indeed is why the South lost the Civil War; they were actually the weakest link in the American stronghold. But they don’t want to hear it. No, no, America’s wealth is built on cotton production. Right.
To: Biggirl
No they’re not.. The people who built the White House are dead!!!

Well right up to the 20th Century, Cotton is one of our greatest exports. The South thought that Cotton was their ace in the whole because the British textile industry was so dependent on it that they thought Break would break the Union blockade. What they didnt count on was the flexibility of the capitalist system which was able to create new sources within three years.

My ancestors did including both parents. I picked it one year for an uncle. That was enough for me. It takes a lot of cotton to make a bale.

“Were the slaves who built the White House and the economy of the South.”
Which economy? The economy of the South was completely destroyed by Union troops, consequences of which lasted for one hundred years, if not more.

No, no, Americas wealth is built on cotton production. Right. Yes, and not only was that not true, but major portions of whatever wealth was created by slave labor was destroyed during the Civil War. It wasn't called reconstruction for no reason. Many parts of the South had to start over economically and it took most of a century for it to catch up with the rest of the nation.

Obama’s blather about US history over the years does raise one very large question. Based on his vast historical knowledge, were the slaves or the Moslems most responsible for the success of the USA as a nation?
