Why wouldn't Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. be as much Kansan American as Kenyan American?

Question

If he called himself a Kanken American, might that not mitigate the Hussein name he is burdened with?

I made no reference to his religion. That has no
relevance to the question.

Answer 1

If you insist on being politically correct, then you would have to call him a Kansan/Kenyan American. While he is 50%
white and 50% black, he was reared by the maternal side of
his family, but that has nothing to do with his heritage. My
confusion arises from the insistence of the media that he is
an African American, which is not true. He is half and half, that is the truth. On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the
50th state. Two years later, on August 4, 1962, Obama was born in Hawaii. He is a citizen by a mere two years.

Answer 2

Barack Obama wanted to be associated with the Blacks in order to get the votes of that sector.

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know if Obama will likely win.

Answer 3

Are people really shallow enough to think his name has some hidden meaning. He didn't name himself. He is not responsible for what his parents named him. Judging someone because of a name is the worst kind of prejudice.

Answer 4

Why his religion becomes so much debatable when Majority trust that he is at heart a true American citizen.

Answer 5

Because Kansas would never want to claim him.
