You are correct except Obama's father is from Kenya, not Nigeria. Two separate sides of the African continent.

Another black American that does not get any press is Kay James who heads the personnel office for all of the U.S. Government. A great LADY!
You are correct except Obama's father is from Kenya, not Nigeria. Two separate sides of the African continent.
Another thing about Barack Obama is that his African heritage may not be merely of black tribal origin, but he may be perhaps part Arabic as well. I am well aware that nobody can choose their ancestry, but it would explain the predisposition to a potential connection with Islam, which was greatly reinforced spending a childhood in Indonesia and in a Muslim household.
We hear little of Barack Obama's mother, who was originally from Kansas, I believe.
The dems already have the black vote sewed up all this guy will do if they ever run him for president is drive away the bigots in their party ( and there are a lot more than in the GOP ranks )
Bingo! Spot on article....
Another case of Democrats fawning over a newly-elected minority pol. Obama is just an empty vessel into which the Democrats can pour their hopes & dreams. Of course, they'll destroy him the first time he takes a stance they don't agree with (like they 'dinged' Harold Ford's career). But hey, why spoil the love-in?!
Does anyone know a good source for Obama's political views? My understanding is that he is very far left, but I've never seen a summation of his political beliefs. I've searched FR but typically find debate transcripts, which I do not consider the best way to get to know the candidate (any candidate).
Ms Malkin is a rising star in the conservative movement.
I have a white Conservative Republican child named Kenya.
More on Barack including interesting Clinton Connections
It seems like I read somewhere before the elections that Obama spent several early years in Muslim schools. I've gone through much material in Google and I can't find any specific reference to his elementary school age education. If this is true, I'm sure the American electorate, at least some part of it, would be strongly influenced by this fact, should he run for President or Vice-President some day.
id Obama actually spend any of his childhood in Indonesia? I believe I read that his mother, after being deserted by Obama's father, married a Muslim Indonesian. But IIRC Obama stayed with his white, Kansan grandparents throughout his childhood (although they moved to Hawaii).
And Obama IS a Muslim name.
I don't think he is at all good looking!!!!
I would love to see him on the 2008 Republican ticket as POTUS or VPOTUS. But anything in the cabinet, or governor is fine with me, too. I see him as our rising star. Or one of them. We have so much talent on OUR side, positive role models, etc.
I mean Michael Steele and NOT Barak!!!
Strange name for an autobiography, since the article said his father had abandoned his mother when he was 2.
He just seems WAY too slick for me.
Well, that's only because you can see!
J.C Watts was largely ignored by the MSM too. Donna Brazille badmouthed him in some heinous way during the 2000 election too.
Rats are the REAL hypocrites and bigots of politics these days.
They treated Condi Rice bad...they ran Justice Thomas through the ringer and now IMHO we're about to see the party of "diversity" treat Al Gonzales like a common criminal in his confirmation hearings. Mark my words.
Yet the way the MSM will report it will be that Chucky Schumer "heroically stood up to the White House's attempt to steamroll Gonzales' appointment through comittee"
