@ Lemur - What, exactly, does the one-drop rule have to do with anything? Are you suggesting Obama's decision to only identify as black has anything to do with it?
Anyway, "Barry" was white in High School when it suited him, became black to get into college, stayed black to get ahead in Chicago politics, varied between black and white on the campaign trail depending on his audience, and now he's just black again because it fits into his civil rights hero narrative and he needs blacks to come out strong in 2010. Look for white Barry (without Harry Reid's famed "negro accent") to make another appearance around 2012.![]()
