Happy Birthday 44!

@George-K Was he? Figured he was talking about his mother? I missed the grandmother part.
BTW my (white) friend has a birthday today and he said a comparison about him and Obama's birthday. I said, wow... you both had white mothers, you're practically twins!
@Aqua-Letifer I'm talking about slick, lol
Anyway...I didn't agree with some of his policies but very much appreciated the (relative) youth and energy he brought to the office. I remember when he stopped at a pizza place in Alexandria VA. I also very much liked GWB too, I hope we can bring back that type of respect to the office (at least in my eyes) one day.

Barack Obama, of all people, is aware of the vital role grandparents have played, do play and will play in the lives of millions of young Americans. His grandparents basically raised him in Hawaii after his return from a childhood in Indonesia.

"... .. The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know there's a reaction that's been been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it..." - Senator Barack Obama
