I was wondering about this, and I want to hear your opinions. Barack Obama isn't really black, he is bi-racial. His mother was a white American, and his father was a black Kenyan. So he is just as much white as he is black, but that's just the genetics. His father left his mother and returned to Kenya when Barack was 2, and Obama only saw his father once after that. He was raised by his mother, who was white, and his maternal grandparents, who were obviously also white. So I don't really understand why everyone just calls him black, as if he is just like any other black man, in my opinion, Barack Obama is closer to being white than black.

Because people are dumb and don't do enough research about the candidates. Bush is in office, is he not?

I don't think his race matters either, btw, I just think this topic is interesting.

If I'm somewhere in my family I'm part Native American, but most of my family is white, what does that make me..??  Couldn't I claim Native following this Obama logic.
