To read Sally H. Jacobss new biography of Barack Hussein Obama Sr. is to realize that his son, the president, spent much of his life reaching for a shadow he was lucky never to catch. Early in The Other Barack, a childhood playmate recalls how Obama Sr. would frequently snap at him and shout, You dont know what you are talking about. A few chapters later, the editor of the University of Hawaii literary magazine describes Obama Sr. barreling into his office, unprovoked, to declare that a particular poem wasnt worth a damn. Back in Nairobi, says one government official, Obama Sr. would slam his fist on the table and claim that a rival knows nothing about math or economics; he would go on to describe other colleagues as intellectual dwarfs. As college friend and current Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie tells Jacobs, Obama Sr. could never contain his irritation with people who were not as facile as he, and he did not hesitate to say so.
The president, of course, has a healthy ego. But this is something else. Every shred of available evidencewhich Jacobs, a veteran reporter, spent two years and 75,000 miles of intercontinental travel ably assemblingsuggests that the senior Obama was an unmitigated jerk: a coxcombish souse who forced friends to cover his abundant bar tabs and repeatedly broke his legs in boozy car crashes; an uncooperative contrarian who was promptly fired from, or sidelined at, every job he ever had; a compulsive philanderer who ditched his first wife, Kezia Nyandega, when he moved to America, abandoned the presidents mother, Ann Dunham, when he left Hawaii for Harvard, and lured his third wife, Ruth Baker, to Kenya only to beat, berate, and cheat on her.
And yet, if Obama Sr. were only a jerk, there wouldnt be...

In the Barack’s Papa Sweepstakes, my vote is for William Blythe Klintoon Senior
I often wonder if zero can afford to let that happen?
The glasses are a clever photoshop, look at the reflection on the lenses...But MX has my vote!
Well, Oprah is too young,
Whoopi is not really female,
I'm guessing the sow was ...
Nanzi Pelosi.
Her eyes look like his ears.
Well, she wasn't too keen on white Christians. But anybody else. . . .
Zero even talks like MX and has similar mannerisms. People have said that maybe he studied up on MX. But blood relatives, even ones who have not lived together, often have similar mannerisms and speech patterns.
I am sure MX is the bio-dad.
Now the question should be, who’s the mother.

How right you are. My brothers wife divorced him when his son was like 3 yrs old. My brother never saw him until he was in his 30's or older. Neither did I, but when I saw him he had exactly the same mannerisms as his father, my brother.
I vote for Malcolm X as Obama's father also.
He does have that same hate filled eye look that Obama gets, and the same shape mouth.
I still go for Malcolm X though.
Agree.
I think Malcolm X is his father.
I never saw the resemblance to MX before! Scary. But I guarantee MX isn’t his dad. MX was definitely NOT into white women. And was pretty outspoken about it.
You've just hit upon the crux of the entire matter. If MX is the father, and impregnated a white woman, he would have to keep it hidden, or destroy his image. Hence, all the secrecy surrounding Barry.
That IS the crux! The truth would have RUINED him. And how did HE try to destroy Elijah Mohammad? By accusing him of having extra-marital affairs.
Well, MX was right about Elijah Mohammad. He had a little “harem” that disgusted MX. MX thought E.Mohammad was a total hypocrite and fraud (and he was). I wonder what would have happened had MX not been assassinated. He was if anything, quite honest, and preached black self-reliance. He wasn’t too keen on MLK Jr. and by the end of his life was seriously rethinking his hatred of white people and calls for violence. He really changed when he went on a Hajj and met peaceful(I KNOW!), white, blue-eyed Muslims which really affected him.
He converted to Sunni Islam in April 1964. This is what he said the following December:

On December 20, 1964 at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, Malcolm X declared, Oginga Odinga [the Vice President of recently-liberated Kenya] is not passive. He’s not meek. He’s not humble. He’s not nonviolent. But he’s free.
This fact was part of a larger object lesson that Malcolm X had for Black Americans:
“Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga, and the Mau Mau will go down as the greatest African patriots and freedom fighters that that continent ever knew, and they will be given credit for bringing about the independence of many of the existing independent states on that continent right now. There was a time when their image was negative, but today they’re looked upon with respect and their chief is the president and their next chief is the vice president.
“I have to take time to mention that because, in my opinion, not only in Mississippi and Alabama, but right here in New York City, you and I can best learn how to get real freedom by studying how Kenyatta brought it to his people in Kenya, and how Odinga helped him, and the excellent job that was done by the Mau Mau freedom fighters. In fact, that’s what we need in Mississippi. In Mississippi we need a Mau Mau. In Alabama we need a Mau Mau. In Georgia we need a Mau Mau. Right here in Harlem, in New York City, we need a Mau Mau...”
Contrary to Romano's meme, the two Obamas were quite similar ideologically: both detested western civilization and values.
Behold, Obama's true father, Darth Vader's cousin Darth Gaydar.
Imagine Paul Lynde's voice, "Barry, I'm your daddy! Don't ask me how it happened, as you know cocaine is a powerful drug".
