As far as Obama being an "African-American", I have to disagree. He's a mullatto raised by a white single mother. He hardly KNEW his father. He was raised overseas as a young boy, and then in Hawaii by his white grandparents. African-Americans have a certain attitude. I don't see it in Obama. Africans have a different attitude, a certain pride that tells you they don't see themselves as any less than you, or trace their linage back to slaves. I don't see that in Obama either. Obama seems to have had a unique upbringing, that defies classification or stereotyping.
