His "power" to deceive is losing it's luster. He is self destructing.

Hey, you loser.

You Americans who think you are always smarter than others voted for Obama and re-elected him. And now you cuss him and keep on whining all day long. Doesn't make sense, does it? Be a man! As you have made your bed, lie in it!

But hey, wait a minute. I guess I now know how badly you guys feel. Nothing hurts more than to be suckered by a blackie, right? But, but, but this isn't the first time Americans were ruled by a president who is black or part-black, to be exact.

For sure, the majority of Americans today are part nigger, part Injun (Indian), part Mexican and etc. That is, in general: part-(you-name-wachamacalit). No wonder very many Americans are such an effing bunch of mixed up or discombobulated specimens.
However, take some comfort in the knowledge that SIX US presidents were of various shades of black:
(The article below was written before Obama became POTUSA for the first time.)

The Six Black U.S. Presidents

If elected, would Barack Obama, be the first black president of the United States?

What determines if a person is black or of African descent? In the 19th and 20th centuries, the standard for determining one’s race was, one drop of black blood, made you black, socially and in the eyes of the law. So by that standard, it would appear some U.S. presidents would have been considered black or mullatto.

Mulatto (-noun 1. the offspring of one white parent and one black parent: not in technical use. 2. a

person whose ancestry is a mixture of Negro and Caucasian. adjective 3. of a light-brown color.

In February of 2004, an article was written by C. Stone Brown, titled “Who Were the 5 Black Presidents?” for

DiversityInc magazine. The article was based on a book by Dr. Leroy Vaughn an opthalmogist titled “Black

People and Their Place in History”. The following text is a collaboration of his theories and other known historians and authors.



Thomas Jefferson the third

elected president, who served two

terms between 1801 and 1809 was

described as the “son of a half-breed

Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto

father,” as stated in Vaughn’s

findings. Jefferson also was said to

have destroyed all documentation

attached to his mother, even going

to extremes to seize letters written

by his mother to other people.

Only in recent years did the family

of Thomas Jefferson acknowledged

he was the father of the (5 or 6)

children born to a slave on his

plantation, Sally Hemmings.

President Andrew Jackson, the

nation’s seventh president, was in

office between 1829 and 1837. A

renowned African-American

historian J. A. Rogers, author of

the “Five Black Presidents” wrote

that Andrew Jackson Sr. died before

his son, President Andrew Jackson

Jr., was born. The president’s mother

then went to live on the Crawford

farm, where there were Negro slaves

and one of these men was Andrew

Jr.’s father, Rogers wrote.

Vaughn cites an article written in


The Virginia Magazine of History that

Jackson was the son of an Irish

woman who married a black man.

The magazine also stated that

Jackson’s oldest brother had been

sold as a slave

Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s

16th president, served between 1861

and 1865. Author Vaughn, states

Lincoln had very dark skin and

coarse hair and his mother allegedly

came from an Ethiopian tribe. His

heritage fueled so much controversy

that Lincoln was nicknamed

“Abraham Africanus the First” by his

presidential opponents and cartoons

were drawn depicting him as a

Negro.

In a book, titled “The Hidden

Lincoln” written by William

Herndon, Lincoln’s law-office

partner, said that Lincoln’s father of

record, Thomas Lincoln, could not

have been Lincoln’s father because

he was sterile from childhood

mumps and later was castrated.

President Warren Harding, the

29th president, in office between

1921 and 1923, apparently never

denied his ancestry. According to

Vaughn, William Chancellor, a

professor of economics and politics

at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a

book on the Harding family

genealogy. Evidently, Harding had

black ancestors between both sets

of parents. Chancellor also said that

Harding attended Iberia College, a

school founded to educate fugitive

slaves. Professor Chancellor says

the Justice Department agents

allegedly bought and destroyed all

copies of this book.

Harding suffered nervous

breakdowns at the age of 24 and had

to spend some time in a sanitarium.

Between 1889 and 1901, Harding

paid five “protracted” visits to the J.

P. Kellogg sanitarium in Battle Creek,

Michigan “to recover from fatigue,

overstrain, and nervous illnesses.”

Some speculate his illness was due

to the pressure of not fully disclosing

his black heritage and living as

“white”.

Calvin Coolidge, the nation’s 30th

president, served between 1923 and

1929 and supposedly was proud of

his heritage. He claimed his mother

was dark because of mixed Indian

ancestry. This notion was disputed

by Auset Bakhufu, author of “The Six

Black Presidents” who said in her

book that by the 1800s, the New

England Indians hardly were pure

Indian, because they had mixed so

often with blacks. Coolidge’s

mother’s maiden name was “Moor”

and in Europe the name “Moor” was

given to all blacks just as “Negro”

was used in America. It later was

concluded that Coolidge was part

black.

The last elected “black” president

was Dwight David Eisenhower

who served from 1953 to 1961, the

34th president. Eisenhower’s

mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover was a

mullato woman making Eisenhower

part black.

Eisenhower as president moved

military integration from a law to

reality. He battered Arkansas Gov.

Orval Faubus with federal force to

desegregate Little Rock’s Central

High School. He was the first

President to elevate an African-

American to an executive position in

the White House. He established the

first regulations to prohibit racial

discrimination in the federal

workforce. He was the first President

since Reconstruction to meet with

Civil Rights leaders in the White

House. He helped turn Washington,

D.C., into an integrated city.

The only difference between Barack Obama and most of the former “black” presidents is that none of their family

histories were fully acknowledged by others or their selves. Even though Obama is half-white, he strongly resembles

his Kenyan father. And not only is Obama open about his ancestry, most people acknowledge and recognize him
