” He is only where he is based on his chosen race. He could have chosen white instead of black.”

Hold on,man, That’s a bum rap. Obama can no more change his race than you or I can. He is what he is.

Now the fact that he seems to exclusively identify with his African heritage, while dismissing his loving White maternal grandparents as:
“Typical White Person(s)” gives me some misgivings.
He could very well validly claim to be both, the best of both.

Our man Tiger Woods showed,(yet again), how THAT hole should be played…

But then what can you expect of a chap whose father was little but a memory to him…if even that? The tree still bears the scar of the woodsman’s axe, even if it be centuries old.
And if the fellow who claims to have been born in Hawaii has been given a “pass” by those who should know better, then the fault lies FAR more with they than with him.

The bottom line though, is who GAS what coat of paint he’s been sprayed with? What really matters is what has he made of the hand that was dealt him…and how he’s done it.

THAT’S the American Way…and 45 years ago, Doctor King eloquently reminded us of that.

“You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”

Sure you can…explain America. We were the socio-economic refuse, the religious whack-jobs and the despised minorities of at least two continents.

Look at us now.

And if hat isn’t proof enough…look at Australia.
