  1. Default O'bama returns to his roots

    A lot is made over his African roots but his equal amount of European roots are on display today. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110523/...re_eu/eu_obama

    Hey birthers maybe he was born there and was using the Kenyan Moslem thing to throw you off and make fools of y'all. The Irish in their warm nature are giving him a big welcome home.

    It's a conspiracy because he's working behind the scenes with Irish terrorist organizations who are orchestrating an offensive against he British mainland in order to rekindle the former glory of the kingdom of Ireland! If you look closely at the video of his speech, they are handing out explosive kilts in the background.

    So again tell me why that is :

    From Wiki

    The one-drop rule is a historical colloquial term in the United States for the social classification as black of individuals with any African ancestry; literally, it meant that any person with one drop of black blood was considered as black

    so does the typical Irish American accept President Obama as "one of their own"? Can he walk into any local meeting of the Gaelic League and not get a hassle?

    Hopefully they can say if they can accept him at a pub in Moneygall drinking a guinness, then it should be good enough here at the Gaelic League.

    Hell, and they say Obama is only about 5% Irish.

    I'm half Polish, so the next time I go to Poland, I want Joanna Krupa to greet me at the airport [[even if they have to fly her in from the States), an entourage that does nothing but bring me kielbasa and pastries and vodka all day, my own travelling band of Goral minstrels, and a bevy of unattached, beautiful Polish women who want to find good American husband. :-)

    Hey, why bother with Poland, come back to Hamtramck. We can arrange for you to be the Grand Marshal for the Labor Day Parade, and then hoist a few bottles of Atles at the New Dodge Lounge!

    Obama is 50% black and 50% white. He was raised by biracial parents. However due to his color of his skin, he's more 75% black than 25% white. That's makes him the first African American President of the United States.

    I would say we all share DNA that puts us in a villiage of 5000..where we migrated is what cultural background we developed.. we all are one..just ,many different ways of explaining it ... I find it curiuos for those who believe in the creation story to have prejudice against themselves..or the sciencetists in the crowd understood we all share a similar big bang..time to put race into the dust bin of history and enjoy what each culture brings to the table.
