Obama and his Progressive/Marxist gas-lighting operation “Team Obama” used fear of being called a racist, white voter guilt, and Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals “ridicule” tactic, with a very enabling major main stream media and the complicity of both major political parties to abrogate the truth about the “natural born Citizen” term in the Presidential Eligibility clause of our Constitution. As I have said and have written, the fix was in for the 2008 election cycle to abrogate the “natural born Citizen” term. The Repubs wanted to run Jindal, Rubio, Cruz, and several others which is why they were part of the effort to subvert the “nbC” term in our constitution. See this for more about how the fix was put in by both major political parties: https://cdrkerchner.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/i-believe-the-fix-was-in-for-the-2008-election-and-the-cover-up-is-still-going-strong-the-perfect-storm-for-a-constitutional-crisis/
I believe racism broke up the marriage of Obama’s mother to Barack Obama Sr. Both of his mother and father flew to Kenya to get the blessing from Obama Sr’s father. Barack Jr’s mother gave birth to him in Kenya and flew back to Seattle, Washington without her husband who would continue his education in Hawaii. He would no longer get financial support for his education from his Kenyan father if she was at the same university. Instead, mother finished her education at the University of Washington. I think that racism affected Obama in his political life.
