Well, no, he wasn’t poor, at least not after the age of six. Soetero and then the grandparents kept Baby O fed and clothed just fine. And, yes, Kwanzaa is very different from the other holidays. And you’re right, O’s not a Muslim, at least not lately, but he’s not much of a X’n either, having joined Wright’s caravan for political reasons. And what in the world does the Kenyan pastor business have to do with anything. And don’t say “fucking.”

He might have been poor until he came to live with his grandmother! But he went to some very elite schools after that! Now how do you know if he is muslim or not? Where you there when he was born? He has not shown his birth cert so no one knows who the man is! You would most likely say he is a black man and you would be wrong! If you’re talking about Jeremiah Wright then you’re wrong again…Jeremiah Wright takes God’s name in vain and I suggest that you read what your Bible says about that! You also said nobody seems to have a problem with his church..well you have not been listening to the news except maybe MSNBC! I disagree with just about everything you said rusty!

Obama grew up poor, so he does know what its like to be poor. He made all the money he earned by making himself into a successful man. Kwanzaa is no different than Christmas or Chanukkah, so if he did celebrate it, who cares. Not that he does, because the man is a Christian, not a Muslim. It must suck having a foreign name when their are so many stupid people in America. The man's father is from Kenya, same place the pastor comes from that serves at Sarah Palin's Christian church. Nobody seems to have a problem with his Christian church. ~~The fucking hypocrisy kills me!~~

In a magazine interview Obama and his wife Michelle revealed that one of their steadfast house rules is not giving Christmas or birthday presents to Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven.

The couple explained that they spend “hundreds” on birthday slumber parties and want to “teach some limits”. Santa Claus is still permitted to deliver seasonal gifts however.

The girls are also given an allowance of just $1 (50p) a week for performing household chores, according to People magazine. Those chores include making their own bed, setting and clearing the dinner table and putting themselves to bed by 8.30pm.

On the campaign trail, Mr Obama has often spoken of the need for Americans to be “better parents” who aren’t afraid to “turn off the TV”.

He has also exhorted black males to be more responsible fathers.

Though he has been away “98 per cent of the time”, Mr Obama told People that before the campaign he did “the house and car repairs, the grocery shopping” and “sometimes the laundry”.

He can spend $30,000 on his wife a ring and gives his children no Christmas or birthday presents! Something wrong with that!

You suppose Obama’s church celebrated Kwanzaa instead of Christmas? It’s the sort of identity stunt Chicagobama would have gone along with, especially if the in-laws were loading up the kids with presents and the solidarity showmanship weren’t costing him anything.

And you don’t think it show what kind of man he is? He will not give his young children presents but he will give his wife a $30,000 ring and then say that he understands the poor Americans! He understands the poor Americans my foot!

I think that is his choice what to celebrate and how.
