Having lived in Kansas in the '60's, I cannot imagine a White woman marrying a Black so I think Obama has an identity crisis he tries to cover but can't. He reminds me of that Muslim that tossed the grenade into his army buddies at the beginning of our invasion of Iraq. His proposal to oversee salaries and bonuses may hit him like a boomerang as capitalists/banks can topple him should they choose to do so. He has been fanning class, race and sexist rage since the primaries.//The same mess has happened in Europe with Muslim and African immigrants- Europe is also at risk of losing its culture and heritage.
