hubiestubert: As someone who is a kooky mixed blood, I have dated predominately white girls. Never dated anyone of any Asian heritage, unless you count Indian as Asian.

It happens.

I guess the question is: why the f*ck is who he dated in college important? Especially when he's married, and has been married for a long while?

When you have to reach for straws, you find yourself digging anywhere you can think.

... have you paid attention to the right-wing these past five years? They froth over what he ate once as a six year-old.

We get it, he's black.

Cagey B: We get it, he's black blah.

FTFY

Because People in power are Stupid: When she told him that she loved him, his response was not "I love you, too" but "thank you"

I do this. What's wrong with this? Would you rather I lie?

Seriously. I think the last time someone told me they loved me and I didn't reciprocate the feelings, I just said "uh huh."

Barack Obama once had a relationship that didn't work out. Therefore your psycho ex-girlfriend is automatically married to you, and Obama has to apologize for Democrats' attempts to restrict birth control access for women.

When she told him that she loved him, his response was not "I love you, too" but "thank you"-as though he appreciated that someone loved him.

I've done that. The conclusion you drew was not correct.

Ennuipoet: The My Little Pony Killer: Seriously. I think the last time someone told me they loved me and I didn't reciprocate the feelings, I just said "uh huh."

That's better than "Oh...shiat..."

It's better than when they suggest you move in together before you even get to the "I love you" part. Try getting out of that one gracefully.

"Babe, you know I totally dig you, but it's just way too soon..."

make me some tea:

The sheriff is near!

Marty: What happens to us in the future Doc?
Doc: It's your kids Marty, somethings gotta be done about your kids!
Marty: What do you mean?
Doc: Your daughter marries a black man!!
Marty: That's actually not a big deal for me
Jennifer: Yeah, me neither
Doc: Wha-it-wha-it-you...Really?
Marty:Yeah I mean what's wrong with that?
Doc: oh oh ah Nothing! Nothing. It's nothing I guess.. I think it's great! Congratulations.
Marty: I don't think I'm comfortable around you anymore.
[pause]
Doc: Did you know peanut butter was invented by a black man?
Marty: Too late Doc

Ah, personal attacks once again from the people who denounce every personal attack made against any Republican.

Well I don't think this is a political piece at all, more of a biographical (even though the two have unfortunately become very intertwined). This is a person that has had a very interesting and complicated life. To know the heights that he has risen to, I find it fascinating to learn about the path he has taken, not just professionally, but personally. I know it's not any of my business, but I find it quite intriguing.

See, the part that gets me is the part I've bolded. It's not any of anybody's business. Why bring it up?

Does this at least eliminate the "Why aren't there any ex-girlfriends, is he the homoghey?" BS?

"I hate to love you.
Love you all the same.
You know, Baby, driving is a serious game."

/First thing I thought of reading the article.
//I'mma little weird.

At this point they're making straws with no brick.

Well, apparently what he ate when he was six years old is important, so I dunno.

They were white and those relationships didn't last. Michelle is black and they got married. Obviously, this means Barack Obama hates white people and Sarah Palin is automatically president.

I hope this isn't an angle that the right will try to attack Obama on. If anything, this article helps humanize him more.

umad: GAT_00: Ah, personal attacks once again from the people who denounce every personal attack made against any Republican.

Yeah, this puff piece is just going too far. I can't believe the right wing would sink so low.

Absolutely. It's obvious they're intentionally putting out bland meaningless memoir-esque articles to bore Obama supporters to death, thus ensuring GOP hegemony after the elections this fall. But we're on to you, right wingers, we're on to you.

Wait... he dated a white woman?

She wrote, "I can't help thinking that what he would really want, be powerfully drawn to, was a woman, very strong, very upright, a fighter, a laugher, well-experienced-a black woman I keep seeing her as."

Sounds like he found her in Michelle. Frankly, this all sounds very sweet and touchy-feely to me. Why would anyone be upset by this?

They are just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks at this point. Thing is, Obama is borrowed Reagan's Teflon coat.
