So there I was, a couple of weeks back, sitting under a mango tree in western Kenya, when Senator Barack Obamas half-sister Auma says to me:
My daughters father is British. My moms brother is married to a Russian. I have a brother in China engaged to a Chinese woman.
My understanding is that this half brother living in China is Mark. Hes the son of Obamas father and an American woman named Ruth, whom Obama Sr. met while at Harvard in the 1960s and brought back to Kenya.
That was after his marriage with Obamas mother in Hawaii ended. Another son from the union with Ruth, called David, was killed in a motorcycle accident. In all, Obama Sr. fathered eight children by four women.
Ive been thinking about this because not enough has been written about Obamas family.

In all, Obama Sr. fathered eight children by four women I'm sure this is a great underestimation. These are only the children he recognized as such.

Well, I know a Liberian woman who's had 12 different children by 12 different guys and she's not married to any of them.

The difference is that Obama is much more certain and coherent about who he is than Kerry was. He has built his identity in a shifting world; that resonates with a lot of Americans. His radical Chicago pastor contributed to that journey. Now Obama has grown beyond him. I have no problem with that.Good Lord!
So invested in kum-by -ah and white guilt, the left isn't witnessing Obama evolve, they are Hallucinating his evolution to suit their own vision of a perfect world.

Maybe Obama is the Antichrist? I doubt that the Anti-Christ would be unmasked so early in the game. There is no way that Obama can be elected now.

In the article, the author basically says that the reason he is bringing this up now is an effort to blunt the “Republican attack machine” that will gear up once Obama’s family gets a more thorough-going review.

Well then, I can Obama clearly joined Wrights Church because of the Gospel, after all, his father had established his street cred already for him.

This means Hussein’s dad was a good Muslim with many wives. Obama is a Muslim soon enough the mask will come off, lets pray it is not too late for America.
