By in large, I don't subscribe to anything that smacks of a conspiracy theory, especially regarding President Obama. I don't have any hope that evidence will be found proving his lack of proper citizenship. That sounds silly to me, that we'd disqualify him on a technicality. I don't believe that he's secretly a Muslim or some kind of anti-American sleeper agent.
So when someone points out that he's the illegitimate son of an African socialist, I'm not overwhelmed.
But then I recall that President Obama's self-identifies as African and longed for a connection to his absent father. What does that mean, if anything at all? This article, written by a first generation West-African-American woman, suggests that it may be significant.
She suggests that President Obama's intellectual heritage is one that leans toward Marxism and socialism and not the democratic ideals of our nation. In the end, I don't know that this is very shocking or scandalous… in fact, I think that many Americans are firmly socialist in their politics, they just don't know enough to realize what that label means.
