Hi,Shere Hite or whatever.
Did you know that when Paddy's day was coming ,Obama suddenly discovered that :
His great-great-great-Grandfather on his Mothers side was Irish !
I wrote you a long answer before.
But I pressed the wrong button and it all blew away!
Am only new to this game!
Yanks lacking in Humour,I've found!

Barack Obama Sr. was born in a small village in Kenya, won a scholarship to study economics at Harvard and eventually became a senior economist in the Kenyan government. He was still working for the Kenyan government as an economist when he died in a car accident in 1982.
Obama and his Kansas-born wife divorced when his most famous son was two years old - so Obama returned to Kenya in 1963.
When he returned to Kenya, Obama Sr remarried, divorced again and married a third time. Barack Obama Jr has five stepbrothers and two stepsisters; the stepbrothers all live in the United States, one stepsister (from his father's second marriage) lives in Kenya; the other (from his mother's second marriage) lives in Indonesia. Obama's paternal grandfather served with the Allies during WW1, and was previously a cook for a group of missionaries.
Obama's name is not mentioned in the anals of Kenyan politics. As far as British colonial rule in Kenya goes:
During the early part of the twentieth century, the interior central highlands were settled by British and other European farmers, who became wealthy farming coffee and tea. By the 1930s, approximately 30,000 white settlers lived in the area and were offered undue political powers because of their effects on the economy. The area was already home to over a million members of the Kĩkũyũ tribe, most of whom had no land claims in European terms (but the land belonged to the ethnic group), and lived as itinerant farmers. To protect their interests, the settlers banned the growing of coffee, introduced a hut tax, and the landless were granted less and less land in exchange for their labour. A massive exodus to the cities ensued as their ability to provide a living from the land dwindled."
When we talk about Israel, we condone the rebellion against the British. When we talk about the United States, we applaud the rebellion against the British. We weep for the victims of British brutality in Asia. Yet when it comes to Africa, we always seem to portray the British as the "good guys". Why is this?
Please read the links and educate yourself on the Mau Mau uprising, then try to tell me how "fair and good" the British were.

Actually, who really cares? Because in retrospect, couldn't something like this be construed in a way that concerns our involvement in Iraq or elsewhere.
Does this issue really concern the internal politics of the grand ole US of A. Because, if it does, then no one is safe from criticism. Or look at it this way, since I'm a member of the NRA, I must be one of those that think killing people is a god given right. Get real here!

It wouldn't surprise me. Obama's father was muslim. Mohammed the prophet and founder of Islam was a rapist and murderer. Mohammed is revered in Islam as a role model... that's why I say it wouldn't surprise me

That has to be the most racist website that I have ever seen, so, um...I can imagine that your "source" is slanted. Even the source of your source can't even be found. Please find some "real" info, or better yet...go work for Fox News, you'd fit in great there!
So what I am trying to say is that, No, it is not true.
