What "black identity"?????????? LOL! As far as I know he's ALWAYS played-up being 50% 'black' and 50% 'white' (where has Praeger been? <GGG>): Talking about his own racial heritage -- son of a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya... Noting that he has relatives "of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents," Obama said that "for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible." As for Wright, he said, "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother -- a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street....These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love." Sounds like Praeger is just making it up as he goes along.... :-) "...unlike Obama, Woods had a close and loving relationship with his father; Obama's father left the family when Obama was 2." (Kinda difficult to have a very deep relationship with someone who left when you were two... LOL! I mean... not very many deep father/son talks at that age!)
