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."

I’ve heard of Jim Jones, but never heard of Jim Jone. Who is he?
Who cares what color he is. Although, I believe that was idea behind this whole fiasco. I can imagine the fat-cat conversations behind closed doors went something like this: “...and he’s black. What could be more perfect? No one would dare to question or criticize him and risk being labeled a racist....”.....
Black, purple, green, red, white with brown spots - he’s still an arrogant tyrant.
“Its official: Obummer is blacklisted fom America.”
Great! How quickly can we deport him?!?!
He should be impeached for lying on the census, the correct answer is mixed race. That is, if Stanley Ann was even his mother.
Because he hates them for not making him White to fully participate in whatever that white stuff is.
He should have checked the box that said, “Anti-Christ.”
Teresa Heinz Kerry is a African by birth. I wonder how she answers the Census.
I am ashamed of him being half white. But i’m not racist, i don’t like either of his halves.
I thought he was only 1/8th black.
Isn’t he 1/2 white, 3/8 Arab?
One of my girlfriends is white from South Africa. She’s more of an African American than I. That’s why I refer to myself as a black American if anything. But I check both the African and Caucasion American boxes on the census. Come to think of it she is Jewish also. Is there a box for that?
Does this mean he was born in Africa? Because he sure isn’t pure “African” genetically, so maybe it’s a freudian slip? :)
Says a lot about his politics...he’s truly a Black Politician with his agenda focused on reparations without saying it’s reparations or identifying who his socialism is actually intended to benefit. Won’t be long they will be calling for “land reform” and nationalization of businesses so they can be turned over to the “underprivileged ethnic minorities” ala Zimbabwe and South Africa. Don’t choke, it’s not much different from the “affirmative action” that gives contracts to “minority owned” businesses. Today it’s government contracts, tomorrow? They dictated commerce with health care, not a stretch to see affirmative action become race based redistribution in private commerce...oh, you say they already did that in the health care bill? Yes, they did.
I put mine as Black and White since I’m biracial. I don’t see why Obama has a problem with confirming his White roots?
Do you think he would rather be 100% one or the other? He seems to resent a lot of things.
SO TRUE!!! Glad you figured everything out... Had to diagnose my daughter myself — well, at least to the point where I knew the initial diagnosis was WRONG, not that I knew what the actual REAL problem was. Meeting my new doctor tomorrow (as if I’d bring any of us back to the old doctor after what we went through — can’t wait to find out how many of my problems may have been misdiagnosed! Maybe I’ll finally start feeling better!!!)
Those of us who judged people based on the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin don't care.
Is there a character question on the census? Obama wouldn't be able to answer that because he has none.
How about pro-NObama, would that work for you? ;-)
Your last quote is inaccurate, and lessens the credibility of everything you posted before it. Sorry, but it just really annoys me that people keep pushing that quote when it is inaccurate... It’s hard enough getting people to see the problems with Obama without them being able to point to something so easy to dismiss...
