The ‘story’ about this ‘dream’ is just as truthful as the book Obama supposedly wrote.

Yep. We won’t get any of that insight from the LSM as they continue to shill for Obama and his agenda.

Actually he is just the first half black (actually he is not even half black) squatter in the Whitehouse. As a British Subject he cannot be a legal President so obama is just a squatter.
