Hope! Hopeyhood of Uncovering Our President's Long Lost Past!

I've never understood why modern blacks who are descended from slaves have stood behind Obama. He is NOT one of them, and does not share a common experience with them. Nor do his ancestors. Obama is the product of wealthy, privileged, spoiled parents; they were well-off enough to indulge their childish socialist "one world" fantasies because they always had a roof over their heads and knew where their next meal was coming from.

Now let me introduce the most ridiculous genealogical project goal of the century: tying Barack Obama to the American slavery experience by digging up slaves named "Obama". It matters not that the "Obama"s these genealogists have "discovered" hail from the west coast of Africa, while Barack's ancestral family home is on the east coast. It matters not that Barack descended from free African blacks. The premise behind this research is anyone's guess, but it probably runs something like this: our president's ancestors may have could have known someone who had a fourteenth cousin three times removed who married into a family that bought a chicken from a guy who's uncle's cousin was captured and transported to America as a slave...or not.

While researching slave names is a genuine research project, tying these wisps of smoke to Barack is purely political and fantastical.

Quote of the day:

The president's great-grandfather's name was Obama. Obama is derived from the word 'bam', meaning crooked or indirect, she said in her book.
