Sep 2008 Readers Digest Obama, McCain Interview
Parantheses added by myself.
How about none of the babies would have been at the top of the list! This is not a country of nobility. You are not born into presidential succession you dunce.

So Obama has rejected his European American decent and is claiming to be full African American?

Perhaps I will post more of the Q&A in the future...

How about the next question:

Wow! When we create threads, we own them?
This I did not know.

That's gonna make putting up with some of the homophobes over in GayTown (my fun little name for the GLBT section of this fine forum) a whole hell of a lot easier. I can just order them out!

Freedom!
(not in any way shape or form calling the OP here a homophobe. He/she has actually contributed very substantially to threads over there. End of public service announcement)

As to the answer Obama gave in the first question posted---
how in the world did anyone read that and assume he was talking about nobility and being "born into the presidency"?
Aside from any baby born that year with the name Kennedy attached firmly to it's new baby behind, I would think the odds yes, were firmly against any child born growing up, automatically to be CiC; but come on, in 1961--a black baby, or even "worse" a mixed race baby?
In that time period, in that era, the odds had to be astronomical.

The second answer does. And all the first answer goes on to do is expand on why Obama is the better choice than McCain. Nothing embarassing there.

Sorry if I interrupted your selective quote fest.

In 1961 to say that a brown baby would be president would have gotten you laughed out of most bars, or worse.

His grandma came from a time where white people didnt have mixed race grandchildren as often as you see it now. It was rare. So you would not imagine that you would have a African American grandchild. What should he call himself in your view. Africpean American? In this country, for reasons I really dont fully understand, even if you are only 1/2 black you generally refer to yourself as 'African American'. The term fits as you are 1/2 African and 1/2 American. I have yet to meet a mixed race person you refers to themselves as Caucasian. I am not sure I agree with that because you are an American first no matter the color of your skin, but there you are. Both your point are trivial and silly.

Palin won’t say whether veep is an executive post - Does this scare anyone else? It terrifies me.

Probably the biggest irony of this election is that there is a possibility of having a Palin-Pelosi administration in the next 8 years.

Save it for the time between when he's elected and inaugurated. You're gonna need some cheering up.
