So, the MSM is pushing for a Reunion. No maybe a Convention since they ALL haven’t met yet.

It’s a shame, I know the vast majority of my ‘extended’ family members and we hardly ever talk. Let alone have a reunion.

George is doubtless more honest than his brother.

That is why Barack is so much more successful! He is a better liar!

They could have a “Hussein” convention - I wonder which Hussein they are both named after....

President Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., married four times before he died.

How many times did he divorce? He was already married when he "married" Barack's mother (after she was already pregnant).

He hasn’t been to the White House? What kind of a half brother is our snake in chief?

At his tidy apartment, Obama talks about his memoir, Homeland. The writing style seems closer to the way his British co-author, Damien Lewis, talks.

When Barack is off teleprompter, he sounds nothing like the author of his 2 books either.

Nowadays he calls himself a community activist in the slum where he once lived as a gangster.

Which Obama are we talking about again?

“...and the occasional cluck of a live chicken.”

As opposed to the cluck of a dead chicken?

I was wondering how a Kansas woman named Stanley came to marry all these “unusual” men, especially back in the early 60s days of Donna Reed. So I looked her up on Wiki. She was a freaking weirdo! A self-professed atheist in high school, who was taught the “importance” of challenging social norms. Later she was called a “secular humanist” by her son (our president). But he claimed he got his Christian beliefs from her!

She was named Stanley after her father because he had wanted a boy. She was teased about it in school. (No kidding!) So her “memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones.”

She married Barack Sr. while pregnant with Barack Jr, while Barack Sr. was still married to someone else in Africa.

So somehow her half-black son became our president as president. Big deal! But, did we have to get such a weird one?

Very very creepy.

The press never bothered to interview her about her son as he was running for president. The press barely interviewed her brother (the one that Barack said lived in their attic and had post traumatic stress disorder).

Why won’t people from his family who grew up with him say squat? Makes you think they aren’t so proud of his politics.

He is at least more honest than his brother.

I’m sick of zer0, his mother, father, birth certificate, secret life records, lies, many siblings, ignorance of history, family, policies, communism, attitude, immaturity, fascism, metrosexuality, lack of common sense, his dog, and most of all his voice.

Every time I hear it, even Rush parodies, I turn off whatever’s offending me.

Barack Mugabe and all his half-this, half-that, relatives. What a world, what a world.

President Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., married four times before he died. To this day, not all of his children have met one another.

[Thanks, Slings and Arrows.]

That's a completely alien situation compared to my life. My dad has been married 3 times but I have no half brothers or sisters and my step sisters are just like blood sisters to me.
