He didn’t grow up as a black American. Most of his youth was in Indonesia. Later, he was in Hawaii being raised by white grandparents and attending one of the most exclusive prep schools in the state. He has as much in common with young black men growing up in the ghetto as I do.

Barack Obama's mother,
Stanley Ann Dunham

From the Chicago Tribune, March 27, 2007:
"In a recent interview, Obama called his mother 'the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.' "

Article: Obama's women reveal his secret

Excerpt from page 1...

"Naivete" is a euphemism for Ann Dunham's motivation. Friends describe her as a "fellow traveler", that is, a communist sympathizer, from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007, Chicago Tribune report. Many Americans harbor leftist views, but not many marry into them, twice. Ann Dunham met and married the Kenyan economics student Barack Obama, Sr, at the University of Hawaii in 1960, and in 1967 married the Indonesian student Lolo Soetero. It is unclear why Soetero's student visa was revoked in 1967 - the fact but not the cause are noted in press accounts. But it is probable that the change in government in Indonesia in 1967, in which the leftist leader Sukarno was deposed, was the motivation. ..."

From page 2 of 2...

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

He did not grow up as a black. He was nurtured by his loving white grandparents who took him in when his mom was off on her wild escapades.

He CHOSE to be black. Just like someone else who has been in the news lately.

[doorgunner69]

Has he ever owned up to who paid for Harvard? That had to cost a tidy sum.

[BenLurkin]

[mc5cents]

He is of MIXED RACE, HALF Kenyan black

And I am not that sure about the "Kenyan" part either. There was more than one "nigger in the woodshed" I think. His mother was a bit of a "floosey" as they used to say.

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour

"Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.

Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups."
...

Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater of the United States, Israel, and white people generally. In recent years he has accused the U.S. of plotting a “genocide” designed “to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.” He has told fellow blacks that “whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that’s when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don’t worry because God wants you to do it.” Alleging further that Palestinians in Israel “are being brutalized like savages,” he accuses the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”

Obama:

1. Release your birth hospital records that are in the Hawaiian hospital where you claim you were born so that we and the students you talk to can learn more about your background.

For goodness sake, your mother died a long time ago, so why won't you release your birth hospital records? What are you hiding?

2. Also, release your Occidental and Columbia undergraduate records so that we and the students can learn more about you. What are you hiding?

3. Columbia undergraduate days: How did you say you paid for your undergraduate studies? I'm sure the students who you are talking to all the time would like to know.

4. For instance, did you simply get an increase in the student loans you were receiving at Occidental?

5. I heard or read that you received some type of scholarship money at Occidental to add to your student loans. Is that true?.

6. Just curious: How did you make up that Occidental scholarship money that you obviously lost when you suddenly transferred all the way across the country to Columbia in New York after 2 years at Occidental?

7. That is, did Columbia also give you scholarship money when you transferred to Columbia in order to replace the Occidental scholarship money you obviously lost when you left Occidental? Under what category was the scholarship listed?

8. Student loans repayment: When did you say you paid back the Occidental student loans, and how much was it? Did you default on the Occidental loans, because I don't think that there is any public record that you paid it back.

9. Again, I bet that the students you talk to about your life would love to hear how you paid your way first at Occidental and then at Columbia. What are you hiding?

Obama Espoused Radical Views in College
Steve Malzberg - WOR News Talk Radio 710 ^ | February 12, 2010 | Ronald Kessler

Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.

During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss’ home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.

“Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together,” Drew says. “We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.”

For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.

“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.

“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”

Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."

Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.”

[john mirse]

He is not exactly honest here. He was born into relative wealth. He went to the top private school in Hawaii. His grandmother who raised him was a vice president of a major bank in Hawaii. He went to Ivy League universities. He has an much in common with ghetto youth as I have.

*****

Is Obama a "black" person who says he is "white", or is he a "white" person who says he is "black"? Very confusing, especially with all this "transracial" stuff in the news lately.

[abclily]

Obama is 1/2 white, 3/8 Arab, and 1/8 black.

[Calpublican]

I refuse to read this because I am sick to death of hearing the self pitying nonstop whining from this wimp and his wife.

[zzwhale]

obama has engineered a divisive political strategy to propagate the black chip entitlement aint i special woe is me.... this pos was mollycoddled and mindfucked by his mother and grandparents and is commie spawn selected by foreign/domestic powers and corrupt influences to destroy America. He neither earned nor accomplished anything positive...HE IS ALSO A TRAITOR

[JayAr36]

Affirmative Action got him the presidency and he is still complaining. What an ass. Just because he views everything though black glasses everything is then RASIS!
