Bill Walsh looked at the total package and was able to pick him relatively low in the 1st round (the 49ers had just come off of a Super Bowl win).
As a lifelong 49er's and Raiders fan, I think that ^^^^^ (drafting Jerry Rice) was one of the best decisions made by a coach in NFL history. I played on teams with Mike Dotterer before his dad moved them to Orange County. He was the best pure athlete I ever had as a teammate as a kid. We nicknamed him Speedy. He was all set to go to Harvard, but Bill Walsh came to his house in Orange County and convinced him to go to Stanford instead. Unless there has been another one recently, I believe Mike is the only athlete to ever earn 4 letters in football and 4 letters in baseball at Stanford, and he's in the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame. IMO, Mike is another of many examples of Bill Walsh's ability to spot talent.
The same goes for Obama. It's his decision to call himself black, but it does not change the fact that he is biracial.
Yep.
IMO, he is being disrespectful to his mother. He might as well be walking up to his mother and slapping her across the face.
Within the last couple of months, another member posted a video ('from the vault' was part of the title) that was supposed to show why Obama hates white people. There was a bit of that at the end, but I think the content INSTEAD actually backfired on the member and puts Obama in a favorable light . The video was of a reading he did for 'Dreams From My Father' at the Cambridge Public Library in 1995. Obama's intellect, talent for being able to speak extemporaneously, sense of humor (IMO, Hillary lacks the sense of humor that both Obama and Trump possess), and relationship with the content (obviously not ghostwritten) were all on display. After watching the video, I now understand better why he identified as black re the Census starting in 2000 rather than as biracial, but I still think he is wrong. IMO, the respect his mother is due is more important.
Ask Morgan Freeman....a huge Obama supporter. He feels that if you didn't have a black mama, you aren't black.
