I liked Obama's stories about the kids' demanding a dog if he won, even back in 2007. Looks like they got their way!

CBS lied they knew he was going to be president. TV gave him all the exposure and it didn't cause him a dime.They knew Obama was going to win before he even ran. When he gave the speech at 2004 Demoratic convention it was a given. When he was city organizer with ACORN they planned it. He didn't take the goverment election money so he would not have to explain where he got he money. ACORN . So money from Soros, Hcan,Hud,FHIP. All the banks that he bailed out gave him millions. Saul Alinsky.

That struggles make them stronger as human beings, sometimes much stronger than their "white" or "black" counterparts.

Too bad CBS wouldnt give Ron Paul any air time like Obama , then we might have ended up with a President who could take the oath of office without having to lie.

Yeah. That's why I'm not for "Black/White" or even "any race/White" marriage. Their kids usually struggle for identity, especially on their white side. Isn't it interesting??
