He is trying to break down our patriotism and sell himself as the only ONE to restore it. I had spent half a day finding those people- I provided links and exact dates on an earlier post. He is so reckless with his speeches. He will say anything. If he felt he needed to remind everyone that he is black again, he should have shared the stage with those who came there first. He is just SO special. puke. Thanks, Mimi

Obama is just plain embarrassing. Him, and his drooling kool-aid morons. The statement is founded on a bullshit premise as you have just proved. And another thing, there are Africans and African Americans spread out all over the world now as immigrants, exchange students, American military and Ambassadors with families. I guess he forgot that Africans have Diplomats in European countries. Obama is dumb as rocks. Kelly,

Thanks for the quick history lesson.

If I were white, I'd be insulted by this. He's also using the Harold Washington playbook on racial politics to win elections. This is why he went to Chicago in the first place. The Democrats were fools to allow him to use racial politics in the Primary just to beat Hillary. All it did was divide and fracture the Party. This is why the Dems will be conquered on Election Day if they insist on making him the nominee. We are 26 days and counting to his 'big' acceptance speech. Have SDs awakened and realized yet that he doesn't have a significant portion of the Dem base to win? Are they watching his goofs, gaffes, flip-flops and race-baiting? The man is a self-destructing machine and strong-arming Hillary to be on his ticket is not the answer. DUMP OBAMA! He's not working out. And he's steadily eroding all the gains we made with regard to racism in this country. It's high time the leftwing of this fractured Party grew up and acted like adults. Obama is not fit to be POTUS! Hillary Clinton is the one to lead this country right now. Obama is a loser and a head case. His only claim to fame is the black part in his DNA. If I were white, I’d be insulted by this.
