 When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug.
4,1961, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the
United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan citizen, Barack
Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by
The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the
status of Obama Sr.'s children -- yup -- at birth, Obama was a Kenyan
citizen and British subject. He's so proud of this fact, that he
has it published on his own website.

 In an
interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama
recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan. According to Kristof, he did so, "...with a first-class
[Arabic] accent." In the same interview,
Obama said the Muslim call to
prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth."
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim
declaration of faith,
makes one a Muslim.
Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York
Times will publish this fact and it will be read throughout the Islamic world.
Regardless of Obama's religion, what message is he sending the
world's 1.2 billion Muslims?

From his early teens onward,
Obama desperately wanted to be black. In "Dreams," he writes, "I was
trying to raise myself to be a black man in America, and beyond the
given of my appearance, no one around me seemed to know exactly what
that meant."
He claims that, "I ceased
to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I
began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
-- and this --
"...never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my
own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa,
that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..."
