Most black people in the United States have Caucasian blood. Are you going to claim them all?

Besides, I hadn't heard that black people were claiming him as solely theirs. Last time I checked, he was President of the whole country.

Obama chose to be black......ask Obama why he did this.......Obama chose to sit in the pew of a White-hating "pastor". Obama made his decision in life, to basically work for the black racial interests, Obama didn't even remain neutral!!!

He didn't choose his "black side". He grew up in a racially divided America and felt more comfortable associating himself with blacks rather than whites during his youth because he had dark skin and went through a biracial identity crises, partially caused by insensitive white America.

But hey, lets bash him for it.

Black people dont claim him as much as he claims blackness. But realistically look at the man, if he was walking down the road you would not question his race for a second. He looks like a black guy. No biggie, you are what you is.
That aside an aweful lot of white folks like him too. I'm not one but that doesn't matter, What matters is not race but popularity.

Sure Whites can claim him, Whites got him elected. If only blacks voted for him, Ron Paul would have gotten more votes.

Oh good GRIEF! We all get to "claim" him. He is OUR president. Here I thought that our country might have actually grown up. Silly me.
