~~DING!
Talking about his grandfather now .. the 1st African in his village to ever meet a white person.
I’m going to get ILL.
Do they happen to mention that Barak is ‘black’ at all? /s
maybe somebody in the media will finally read his book and find out that he was coking it up in the 80s.
Or maybe they will find out that he thinks ‘white people’ can be fooled by ‘moving slowly’ and speaking calmly. (Apparently, Obama doesn’t believe he is half white... whatever the hell ‘white’ means)

They didn’t read his book. It was done FOR them by Media Matters.
All his father dreamed about was traveling around making babies! I’ll be damned if I know what kind of role model he is supposed to be.
Thanks. Caught the last minute or so - one of those speakers who’s almost painful to listen to - takes forever for him to get the words out. I think he’s worked on his delivery much since then. :)
He’s signing copies of his book. Shows a good reason to always have an author sign your book. He or she could become president and then the book becomes valuable. :)
Note he said his sister was a teacher in NY. I didn’t know that - thought she was always in Indonesia, or elsewhere.
I have to say obama looks pretty personable and charming here signing autographs.
Yikes...by tuesday..Obama will be Jesus. Not sure i can stand it much longer...lol
