He may be the world's foremost mixed-race leader, but when it came to the official government head count, President Barack Obama gave only one answer to the question about his ethnic background: African-American.
The White House confirmed Friday that Obama did not check multiple boxes on his U.S. Census form, or choose the option that allows him to elaborate on his racial heritage. He ticked the box that says "Black, African Am., or Negro."

All true. I believe it was Palin who said, “The presidency is not a journey of self-discovery.”

"....looks like he is resting his arm on a third knee."To me it looks as though he's got a basketball between his legs and that he's awkwardly trying to position his arms on it. I see what looks like a black line on the ball.

“If a Caucasian who was born in South Africa and emigrates to the United States do they answer the question concerning race on their census form as African-American?
Well, I don’t think so. I don’t think Dave Matthews would label his ‘race’ as anything other than Caucasian and he was born in Johannesburg. Family moved to U.S. in opposition to apartheid.

“In the end, however, Obama’s self-chosen race is whatever brings him the most political benefit. “
The Conservative right has, IMO, made the mistake of allowing the left, from the get-go, to get away with labeling him as Black...enabling willy nilly and pre-planned use of the race card. We should, at every opportunity, have used the term Bi-Racial. He’s half white and should be forced to own it.

I don’t see any difference in the lettering, however, IMO, that doesn’t look like a young Obama.

Zero is a racist. He's against whites. He could have checked more than one box regarding his racial makeup, but he chose to be niggardly and only check the one for AfricanhyphenatedAmerican.

Oh yes I'm the black pretender (oooh oooh).
Pretending that I'm black (oooh oooh).
My need is such, I pretend too much,
I'm black but no one can tell.
Oh yes Im the great pretender (oooh oooh).
Adrift in a world of my own (oooh oooh).
I play the game, but to my real shame,
Youve left me to dream all alone.
Too real is this feeling of make believe (make believe)
Too real when I feel what my heart cant conceal
Ooh oh yes Im the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
I seem to be what Im not (you see)
Im wearing black heart like a crown,
Pretending that youre still around, yeah (oooh hoo)...

If a Caucasian who was born in South Africa and emigrates to the United States do they answer the question concerning race on their census form as African-American?Remember when Theresa Heinz Kerry (who was born and raised in Africa) said that? The hate immediately directed at her due to her skin color was really something.

Legally your race is the same as your mother’s race, if Obama is the son of a Caucasian woman he is legally Caucasian. Then again if real black people want to claim him they are welcome to him.

Of course!
Thus, he can continue to use the race card at his convenience during the remaining 3 years of his term and reelection campaign.
It worked effectively against Hillary. It worked effectively against McCain. It has been played a dozen times by Team Obama and the Dems during the last year, even against Tea Partiers and against those opposed to his health care bill.
Had he selected 'other', he would have had to give up that weapon -- the race card.

The other side of this story is why is he ashamed of being half white?
Not so much that, but he has gotten more mileage out of his black side -- via Affirmative Action, etc.

He’s a liar.
He should have checked the Caucasian and AA boxes. You are allowed to check more than one box.

He’s black the same as Bill Klinton was “black”, by having an unwavering commitment to a fixed list of conventionally liberal/left political positions.
