i m a white man. i have some family who are biracial. and my comment, i mean obama report, former republican, now since he is from biracial family, i have read all his books and very impressed with the man. the most important man in the room in just about every session he is in, he was brought up predominantly by his grandparents and his mom was white. you think that if he was a few shade lighter as in the case ironically of my grandson who probably when he walks into a room can be either, and proud of that. he knows he is special. do you think he would get less grief from the tea party and more cooperation from the right if that were to be the case? just curiosity on my part. guest: there is no way to know. what is more relevant is not whether he is a few shades later. because he is not all that dark. i think it is whether he is really identified as an african-american. and i think he is. so i think to the extent that there is racial analysis will be directed against him b
