Barack's Asian American Sister


Yes, that right, his sister is Asian American. Seems mommy got around and definitely epitomizes the term "Flower Child". She lived the 60's to the fullest. This is an interview she gave back in Jan to the NYT. The reason I am bringing her up is that factually challenged news service who no longer thinks words are free are running with a gushy story about her, so since they have it, it will be on every other news outlet giving them more free press. Press that McCain can't buy.
I have often wondered how long it would be before Obama threw his African American label under the bus to go along with everything else about him. Just for the record he is mixed race just like his sister.
Barack’s father was Kenyan, and yours was Indonesian. Your mom was what used to be called a freethinker, a white anthropologist from Wichita, Kan., who moved to Jakarta after her second marriage. My mother was a courageous woman. And she had such tremendous love for life. She loved the natural world. She would wake us up in the middle of the night to go look at the moon. When I was a teenager, this was a source of great frustration because I wanted to sleep.
Must be the origins of the term moonbat?
