fascinating stuff! So, for these great odds... what % of Arabic descent would qualify??

@fof
silly question with respect its anti

@ fof

Thanks - I was waiting for a question like this! Great background info

Well, the MSM tries to pass him off as the first Black President with 6.25%, so lets make it an even 6% of Arabic descent to settle as Yes

My, how times have changed! Lincoln's opponents nicknamed him "Abraham Africanus the First"... and now, 130+ years later that title is one of distinction and honor, thanks to his contributions to the US.

comment #4 was response to vnh's comment #1

@ fof

perhaps a repost, with a more gracious picture and something like.... "Will the DNC ticket NOT include a white guy over 45?" ... with some more mid-range odds? Don't get me wrong, I love to bet the long shot @ 1% odds, it just seems too far out there.

@destry: not accurate? On what basis? I found this:

http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).

What does this mean? Maybe nothing. But, why is Obama trying to hide this? Why does he try to hide is middle name? Why does he try to hide the religious Muslim school he attented as a child in Indonesia? Why doesn't he set the record straight that he wouldn't be the first black President? Why so many cover-ups and hiding of the truth?

Further, at only 6.25% African Negro, would he even be the first President who was part black? Not at all! Our 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson was our first part black President. And he's not alone, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge were also part black.

President Andrew Jackson was the son of an Irish woman who married a black man. Andrew Jackson was such a high percentage black that his oldest brother was sold as a slave!

President Abraham Lincoln was the illegitimate son of an African man, he had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother also allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed "Abraham Africanus the First" by his opponents.

President Warren Harding never even denied claims that he was black, because he had black ancestors between both sets of parents and he attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.

President Calvin Coolidge was proud of his heritage and claimed his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. 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.

thanks, vnh!

I'm waiting for clarification on Market is not accurate and will go from there.

I noticed that I ran out of characters in the background info, and the second link didn't make it. I'll do some searching to find it.

Once again... I type too slowly!

Comment #8 written before I read #7

Thanks Notable.... that is the exact link that I tried to include with this question

I doubt the Arab part is the problem... after all, his name is Barack Hussein Obama

Well, if the percentages were the problem, perhaps Destry could point you to a source that he feels is correct

oddschecker?

I don't really under stand the question. Your talking about two arab guys then you completly branch off into talking about Obama.

I wonder what is meant by "Market is not accurate"

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.

Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African-Fiction!
There is no evidence that any of this is true. The link provided for documentation is from a user forum on a game site, hardly a reliable source.

That doesnt answer my question
