By Conservative Yankee, October 22, 2007: “OBAMA’S MOTHER ...Dunham or Durham depending which side of the pond ... and the ancestry is IRISH!!  (making it O’Bama…”

...“I am more interested just how she got this information.  Sounds a little too much like she had access to private Obama files doesn’t it?  I wouldn’t put anything past this shrew…...”...

MARY,

I’m with you here. Very much. This would scare the bejesus out of me if I was Barack Obama. It scares the bejesus out of me - just being ME!!

It’s really very creepy. I’m not saying it’s impossible, -ON HIS MOTHER’S SIDE- but how the hell would Lynne Cheney have access to that information, ABOUT OBAMA?

I don’t even have that kind of information on my own genetical ancestry.

Still, just a reminder to all… from Voiceoftruth..and me too….

Hey idiots, Obama’s mother is white.  Hello, McFly??

So, hopefully, ya’ll get that. Barack’s MOTHER WAS WHITE. He was born in Hawaii, raised in Kansas, and his parents were divorced fairly early on. His father returned to Africa fairly early on. Barack has therefore not had any long-term extended relationship with his father.

I don’t think his mother was WEALTHY. So, I don’t think he belongs in the ‘class’ of ultra-white, established ‘royal blood” that everybody is trying to give him. In other words…NOT part of the ‘old school’ Bush/Kerry/ETC Cable.

To repeat, he’s about 46 years old now, raised by his WHITE mother in Kansas, and not the first African-American to attend Harvard.

As for the other stuff, (like not committing to full withdrawal by 2013)that’s a different story. I have also heard him say, (on multiple occassions) I that he WILL end the war, but admittedly, he was wishy-washy on that at the time of the New Hampshire debates.

Still, let’s keep the other stuff out of it, since it’s a form of disinformation. Judge the guy on what he’s doing NOW, and not what his now deceased parents have or have not done or been.

Meantime, I still wanna know what Lynne Cheney’s ‘motives’ were, in digging this up.

Hey idiots, Obama’s mother is white.  Hello, McFly??

If this “proves” anything, it proves how useless identity politics really is.

um….for a part of this thread…I don’t think this means Cheney is of African descent. (For a many thousand years at least.) If anything, its a reminder for people that Obama is part rich-whiteman.
  If he and Colin Powel ran together, with Tiger Woods in there somewhere…there would be one entire black man. That’s the way of this country’s bold progress beyond the superficialities of racial difference….someone who is part-black can be treated as equal.

I am more interested just how she got this information.  Sounds a little too much like she had access to private Obama files doesn’t it?  I wouldn’t put anything past this shrew…...

I guess that makes Obama Luke Skywalker since Cheney is Darth Vader.

....“Lynne Cheney also said wistfully that what a shame those stereotypes about men of African heritage were not true in her husbands case.”...

THOMAS…This is too good. I bet she DID say it very ‘wistfully”. She’ll just have to keep living through her novels though…

Well, we all do have at least 95% ape genes. Maybe it was one of them, ha ha? Then again, maybe Cheney has at least 96% ape genes???

Mr. Obama, beware of dog !

“Inane” about covers it. I am waiting for the article about why this matters.

* generations back? 11th cousin?
  This is inane.

What does she want for her husband ? To join Obama in his ticket for VP ?

If you go back far enough, we are all related.
