An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
No, I Am NOT Defending He Who Must Not Be Middle Named
I’m sure you’ve seen this in your mail box, or something similar. I had a little time before I have to take Hootie to the vet, so I thought I’d do a little picking. I wish folks would check Snopes or some other fact checker BEFORE passing these things on. sigh…
LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT?
(Grabs ya right from the start. heh)
HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MOSLEM, BLACK- WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF HIS AFRICAN “FAMILY”. HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHEIST, WHITE-WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED HIM?
(Actually, there was ONE picture of his grandparents that I’ve seen.)
HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND WENT BACK TO HIS FAMILY IN KENYA.
(In reality, his parents divorced, and pops went to Connecticut to finish his education before heading home.)
HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MOSLEM AND TOOK HIM TO JAKARTA WHERE HE WAS SCHOOLED IN A MOSLEM SCHOOL.
(This has been kind of disputed. Although he did attend Muslim schools, he also attended Catholic ones as well.)
HIS MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE KANSAN GRANDPARENTS.
(I wonder why his mother didn’t raise him? Not that it makes any difference, I’m just curious. Lots of grandparent are raising kids….just ask me, I’ll tell ya!)
HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS, HOW?
(Education is expensive, but there are student loans and scholarships. But it’s actually irrelevant…unless of course some weasel paid for it.)
HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER. HOW?
(An excellent question. His dealing with Rezko has not been investigated nearly enough to my way of thinking.)
HE “WORKED” AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO- HAS NEVER HELD A PRODUCTIVE JOB. THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST.
(I’m starting to wonder if any politician, especially those under the age of 65 or 70, has ever held a REAL job, or do they just come out of the gate, chomping at the bit, ready to feed at the public trough.)
NOR IS IT SUBJECT TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES.
(Huh? I’m sure there is a reason that statement was included, but it must have gotten lost somewhere along the way. What isn’t subject to set asides? Don’t confuse me, it’s too easy!)
HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.
(Ya got me there. Exactly what experience does he have? I few years in the Senate doesn’t mean you are ready to run a whole country. That goes for the Shrilldebeast too.)
HE IS PROUD OF HIS “AFRICAN HERITAGE” BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER GOT A WHITE GIRL PREGNANT AND DESERTED HER. I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SPERM CARRIED A “CULTURAL” GENE. WHERE IS THE PRIDE IN HIS WHITE CULTURE?
(Crude, but interesting observation. The majority of us in this country are “mutts”. No, seriously, it’s true! It doesn’t matter what shade your skin is, odds are, you are a mix of several different races and cultures. Pride in heritage is one thing, discounting THE OTHER heritage is something else altogether.)
HE GOES TO A “AFROCENTRIC” CHURCH THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS PERCEIVED FAULTS AND THEN REPEATEDLY COVERS UP FOR THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH.
(Well, that’s a real uniter! [insert massive sarcasm here] As I’ve said before, if my pastor starting blaming….blacks, for example, for all the ills of the world, #1, I’d leave, and #2, I’d denounce said spouting.)
HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN, RIGHT!!!???
(Ummm…..I don’t bloody well think so!)
YEAH, I THINK I SEE HOW HE COULD BE A UNITER AND BRING US TOGETHER, I THINK THE HOPE IS THAT HE HOPES NO ONE WILL PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER!!!
(Hoping against hope, the jigsaw will remain in the box.)
Welp, there you have it. My take on the annoying email that won’t die.

“He who must not be middle named” – that’s good. May I use it? Everyone should use it!
Then there’s the recent trip(s) back to Africa to visit family.

Oh, by all means! Heh.
I guess whoever put together the little ’script’ must have forgotten about his road trips. Or, it was written before? Hmmm… Since it’s not attributed to anyone, hard to tell. You know how emails are….some folks have the courtesy of deleting all the previous forwards, and ya don’t get a date. LOL
