He was born to a white mother, raised by white grandparents, went to white schools, but he is celebrated for his black father who abandoned his wife & child, fled to Africa, lost his legs driving drunk, and then lost his life driving drunk (with no legs) a few months later.
I should point out the following:
1) His father, a wife-beating alcoholic, abandoned him.
2) His mother dragged him along as she traipsed across the globe after any number of liberal causes, giving him no secure home.
3) At one point, his mother abaondoned him too, so that she could go "find herself" in some innane liberal crusade.
4) His grandparents, who were Marxists, were the people who eventually raised him.
5) He lives in a country where he is able to excel to the Presidency based on his ambitions, hard work, and good nature of its citizens.
What does he do?
1) Writes a glowing book extolling his father.
2) Speaks glowingly of his mother.
3) Condemned his grandmother (you know, the only real mother-figure in his life) with the notorious "typical white woman" remark.
4) Craps all over America, dismisses it's accomplisments, and relegates to to the same playing field as other countries like Syria, and Iran.
5) Denonces other people who achieve success based on ambition and hard work.
6) Pushes an agenda that benefits people who don't work and have little-to-no ambition.
Either he is one of the DUMBEST people on the face of the earth, or he is so completely f**ked up in the head as to be beyond hope.
