But, he doesn't have an American first name: And he found it important to do photo ops in Kenya.

Forget about what color he is. It's a red herring that only plays into his hands. The real question is just how far to the left he really is.

Possibly in admission to Harvard Law, however Obama went on to graduate Magma Cum Laude, and as Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Tests and papers within the school for those named Baraka would presumably not get additional points.

"Are either of his parents from Africa?"

His father was from Kenya.

That was easy.
