” If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot. “

“Even be President of the United States”. Hurl. Either that's complete and utter BS or she did say it, truly believed it and took pains (and liberties through Toot’s job) to see that he could do it. I'm inclined to go with BS.

the future president was apparently a frequent target of racist abuse during his boyhood years

So was I, as were many of my classmates, as white kids in a majority black school. So what?

Then HOW did he get into Harvard Law with LSAT scores he’s afraid to release and a GPA from Columbia, lower than the “black adjusted” Harvard requirement?? Just curious, of course. But then...that means I must be a RAAAAACST, doesn’t it!

If Obama suffered “racist abuse” in Indonesia as a boy, it is still somehow the fault of white Americans in general, and of George W. Bush in particular. Like everything else.

But Barack Obama Jnr barely knew his father, who left the family when his son was two years old...

Fail right out of the gate. The author can shove his sob story.

The author, Kevin Kelly, is doing a good job, if he really isn't politically illiterate, of hiding in plain site the real issue with Barack Jr's presidency - Barack Sr’s citizenship and “allegiance to a foreign sovereignty,” using the words of 14th Amendment Author John Bingham, to the Congress in 1866.

Or shall we cite Chief Justice Morrison Waite, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874):

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

This is our progressive media working to keep everyone involved with the soap opera so that they won't notice that the Constitution requires a natural born citizen, a term, like most used in the Constitution, from our common-language and common-law at the time of the framers.

If Obama suffered “racist abuse” in Indonesia as a boy

If is the operative word here.

When I was a kid and went in 1950's to an integrated school in Chicago there was abuse hurled because of the following but not usually racial:

1. Skinny kids.

2. Big eared kids.

3. Dumb kids.

I suggest Barry was #3.

“the young Obama, then known as Barry, dodges rocks thrown at him by Indonesian children who also hurl racist insults at the boy”

Projectiles were just not up to the job, BLNT.

The book quotes Elizabeth Bryant, an American who knew Ms Dunham and her son in Indonesia, as saying recently that expatriate Westerners “were floored that she’d bring a half-black child to Indonesia, knowing the disrespect they have for blacks.”

This goes a little further to explain Obama's resentment. Stanley Ann was one of those insane liberal women who are so committed to "harmony" that they allow their children to be violently abused without a word of protest.

Since the kenyan and his regime came to power, he has set race relations back 50 years.

Because the court was unaware of the other wife?

AFAIK, the already existing marriage meant the Hawaii marriage was bigamous and invalid. Or would be once discovered.

So much for the liberal idea that only white people can be racists.

I recall a long time ago reading something about the Vietnamese being very racist in their attitude towards anyone of a different skin color than themselves, which meant that half-black children fathered by US soldiers during the Vietnam War had a hard time of it. (Of course that had to do with Vietnamese still living in Vietnam.) I don't know if half-Caucasian children were similarly discriminated against.

Some people who have suffered from real or imagined prejudice do not just want to be equal, if given power, they want to get even. (paraphrased from a quote I once read)

Yeah tough Sh!t. I am white and I have suffered some of the most racist crap ever. Our Fore Fathers should have put this in. Congress shall make no laws based on skin color!
