Wow. I’ve never once in my life used as a point in an argument who my parents were. I don’t even remember anyone who has. This is a man who has spent a lot of time inventing his identity.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Obama occasionally he mentioned he was proud of his Irish ancestry or something? I mean, there’s people to be proud of there. One of Obama’s ancestors was a man Falmouth Kearney, who was born about 1830 in Ireland and died 21 March 1878. He immigrated to the U.S. on the ship Marmion on 20 March 1850. If Kearney was my ancestor, I’d teach my children about him and what struggles he must have had to come to America.

Okay, I’m going on a tangent here, but wouldn’t race relations be a bit better in this country if Obama ever said these are his ancestors like the Kenyans—no more and no less?

Well, here's the problem.... they aren't his ancestors. Not even remotely.
