Dale, agree----it is an image that may appeal to the non-lily-pure-white sector of the electorate.

Obama did not immigrate. He was born here.

The only way that I can see that he can claim the immigrant image is if his father immigrated to the United States.

As we know his father was a student at the University-----what I don't know is if his father was an immigrant. If someone knows the facts on this please post.

If his father did not immigrate here, then Obama cannot claim the immigrant image imo. He can say that his mother was American and his father was Kenyan.

If his father did not immigrate; and, if Obama has dual citizenship by virtue of his father being Kenyan he can state that.

As Obama may be challenged by a Wasp, he cannot ignore the so called Wasps he has to have something to offer these voters------many of these Wasps are baby boomers while some are retired and over 60----and most come from families that immigrated under great duress at one time or another.
