“The categories promulgated in 1978 by the OMB in fact did draw distinctions, but unlike earlier policies, not on skin color. Known as “directive 15”, the standards identify four race categories:

* American Indian/Alaska Native: this category includes indigenous north American groups, and despite genetic similarity, remains distinct from indigenous persons from central and south America because of certain land and treaty obligations;
* Asian or Pacific Islander: this category originally covered persons with origins in countries East of the Indian subcontinent, but was adjusted after the Association of Indians in America lobbied the OMB to move their group out of the white race category;
* Black: persons with origins in the black racial groups of Africa- this category purposely does not encompass continental Africa to distinguish North African regions and European settler populations; and
* White: persons originating in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa;”

In the US census Arab is considered to be part of the White race. Limbaugh is saying Obama is legally all white.

Kenya has a large Muslim population, and many people have Arabic names over there as does Ethiopia, and Ethiopian and Kenyan Muslims are African just as the Muslims of West Africa are African as well. There are millions and millions of African Muslims in Africa. Many of the blacks who were taken as slaves from Africa were Muslim and converted over to Christianity. These are facts. It is said that the majority of Obama’s tribe are actually Christian to the tune of 90%. 10% of the people from his tribe are Muslim. His relatives do not have Arabic names in so many cases. I am referring to his Muslim born relatives.
Another thing to add is that Kenya’s language is Swahili which is a mixture of Arabic and Bantu African. That is not unusual. Furthermore, it is said that one of his ancestors went to Zanzibar and converted to Islam and the Arab names came that way. It is very common for a Muslim of any origin, Arab or non-Arab to have an Arab name. Mohammed is an Arab name, and millions of non-Arabs have that name. Study more about East Africa and research East African history and culture, like I have, and stop being so ignorant like Rush Limbaugh! Kenya has some Arabic influence, and it has millions of Muslims and Christians. So what!
Barrak Obama is black and African. He is a Luo. Luos are not Arabs at all.
As far as I can see, Barrak looks black to me, and I lived in the Persian Gulf, and he certainly doesn’t look half Arab at all. It is ridiculous for him to be mostly Arab and Caucasian and only slightly African. Some people need better glasses.

Rush Limbaugh is a fat pig slob full of himself, racist mysoginist scumbag. He’s the poster boy for selfishness, snobbery and elite false overblown egos. He’s exactly what’s wrong with the country, exactly the kind of person that brought us to our knees, slanderous, lying pig.

Hey idiots, does he look like an middle-eastern Arab? Hint: his drunk-driving father was black as the ace of spades. Do you even realize that “arab” is a lingual category, not a racial one? Black skin, bootlips, gorillia-like nose, pubic hair on head - these are racial/genetic traits of black people. These are traits of Obama.

McCain has done a great job, on what? What does he really stand for except division, troublemaking and nastiness? What about him walking away from his nearly crippled wife and abandoning his children and her? What about the Keating Five? Please tell me your thoughts on that.Dying to know…Palin is a joke.Period. Patronizing women by picking her for politics, not substance is an insult. Figures you would agree they are the perfect duo, bet you haven’t had an original thought since 1985.
