Barack has the features of a black man much more than a white man. The black gene is strong and is more evident than most...similar to the asian gene. The matter of barack being half black should be of no importance. What matters is that America has chosen to recieve a president that looks different than the other 40+ presidents which echoes to the black american past and shows that, as a people, we can evolve in a positive and productive manner. PRAISE GOD FOR OUR 1ST, BUT NOT LAST, BLACK PRESIDENT.

Unfortunately a lot of these people were only crying because Obama is Black. Half Black I should say, If McCain was black and Obama was white these people would have voted for McCain just to see the first black president no matter how crappy his campaign was run.

Shyt so crucial they couldnt even give us a 100% black man. But off top. and yall can look it up. Obama is bush's 11th cousin and dick cheney's 8th cousin. Dude said something about seeing obama at his next family reunion. And if it was such a free election. Then why every president from George bush to obama has a British royal bloodline. Every single one. NIGGAS ignorant beings probably wouldve voted for Jay z if he ran for president. DO ya research. Every other country is talkin about this except ours. Fucc the united states...
