Is Barack Obama really black?

Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959.

Carry on.

Damn you, sort-of-Gaudere! :smack:

I seem to recall that when GWB began as President, he immediately took a three month holiday.

As long as Obama doesn’t do anything as equally boneheadedly self involved, it’s already an improvement on the previous administration.

Imagine what he might have effed up if he’d been working for those three months.

So you’re saying he took Cheney with him?

His blackness is not his primary defining characteristic, nor was it the deciding consideration either way for many and probably most voters. Perhaps if you’d consider rephrasing that as "first President who happens to be black’, you’d get closer to understanding the situation.

Good to see you’ve apparently outgrown your onetime habitual US-bashing, at least.

To a secret, undisclosed, underground penthouse.

Then I must be African since I lived in Africa ( Tanzania ) for 4 years. HMMMM.

Were you born in Tanzania?

All I know is “Black Man in White House” would have made a great headline on Wednesday morning.

I was interviewed out here, it made the 6 o’clock news. I glow in the dark with whiteness.

No, you get no link :slight_smile:

Billy Paul wants to have a word with you.

Well, Africa is a continent made up of a lot of countries, and Hawaii is a State within a country, so I’m not sure if that equates. Plus, Obama was born in Hawaii, he didn’t just visit there.

Not that it matters, as I was just joking around anyway.
