Not that I really care one way ot the other, it's just strange how this all plays out that Obama would not admit to being half black , half white.
Maybe he did and I just have not heard him say it, but to someone who did not watch the news every day or listen to the radio, they would swear Obama was a black man.
It's almost that Obama and the media both would love to put to rest the fact that he is actually half white.
I am trying to put myself in his shoes.
Okay I am half black , half white clearly that that makes me bi-racial.
I look unmistakenly black which would make it hard for me to get people to believe I was white so I consider myself a black man.
But I'm still half white.
Should I be ashamed of that?
Is Obama ashamed of that?
Does it really matter at this point?
I guess it depends on the winds of politics especially if they turn in an ugly direction.
Is he Muslim?
Is he Chrsitian?
Are his terrorist buddies reformed?
I guess we will see who Obama really is as time moves forward and we will see if his magic wand of change will have the same effect on the rest of the world as it did on America.
Whatever that was.

He couldn't as effectively begged for votes if he talked up his "whiteness". The minorities would have been put off by those remarks. He either had to be white or black, but to admit to the truth (bi-racial) was out!
