What is up with all these people of color being thrown under the bus? I don't see a lot of white folk under them bus wheels, even his former mentor, inspiration and pillar of religious fortitude, Rev. Wright, is under the bus.

Every other month or so the Congressional Black Caucus has a new bone to pick with 0bama, even going so far as prompt Jim Clyburn to say 0bama’s inner circle keeps “screwing up” on race: He needs some black people around him.”
Well at least we would not have the tea party

A couple of friends of mine thought that Obama was going to be a president "for black people". Oddly, I saw black folks interviewed immediately after Obama was elected that were joyous because Obama had been elected and he was supposedly a president "for black people". Some of those individuals said that he would get them slave reparations. Obama is not exactly a conservative president, but he is not a president specifically "for black people", as some had hoped, and others feared.

So if Obama were white? Well, it would prove conclusively that Michelle is an open-minded lady.

Well, Obama is half White. And in basic math, we all learned that a half rounds to a whole.

But he obviously looks more African, hence why he's Black to us.

0bama portrays himself as black, not white, so is this just politics with him, being extra hard on people with dark skin, so as to not to be seem as if he is showing racial favoritism?

you do know his name is Obama, not 0bama.

The fact that you can't find the "O" on your keyboard says alot.

Actually Obama is white. Currently the US Census goes by the mother's race in determining the race of the child.

His mother was white and therefore he would be listed as white.

Which is the reason he wants to take over the US Census.

People need to stop looking at him as black or white, and look at him for what he is.

Someone who is in a job he has no business being in.

wow what BS in one post. of course you can point to the section where Race of a child is based on the race of the mother.

Cause I haven't claimed Japanese as my race, even though I'm Japanese (mother), Caucasian, Filipino, Chinese and Native American (the rest father)

I think he might look like Sammy Sosa. Kinda odd looking, but just my opinion.
