PS .. Weasly Clark, Tom Brokaw, Tom Daschle and his half-sister Maya were also named to this commission.

She also taught Multicultural Education and Educational Theory at the University of Hawaii’s College of Education. In 2007 and 2008, she campaigned across more than a dozen states for her brother, President Barack Obama.

This makes his 1/2 sister an expert. I’m waiting for obozo’s illegal auntie to receive her citizenship. She’ll never leave this country and will continue to live off the taxpayers. That’s my thoughts.
