I can see the sexist part with the picture, oh now I see where the racist part came in, lol.

Hi Sis.

By the way, I think it is a secret that he is both Black and white.

Janet, I'm assuming the white part is on the mothers side??? interesting, I didn't know that.

Yes, he was raised by his white grandmother.

Whoa, maybe he should have given Mom a little mention in his speech.

Well, he doesn't seem to talk about that side of the family. I know he went to his grandmother's funeral or memorial.

Well, I got half of this desk cleared off...gonna get some lunch and pay some bills....in that order....back in a little bit

Once again, I'm assuming thats grandma on his moms side? No Dad growing up?

I didn't watch it. His mother wasn't there??

Barack Obama's mother was S. Ann Soetoro was a teen mother who later got a Ph.D. in anthropology; a white woman from the Midwest

That was copied from the web.

HELLO SUZIE

HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING ON DEBBIE

I was listening to the Inauguration today and they said his mother was white, she died in 1995 of cancer. He was brought up by his grandmother, who died days before he was elected President. Its a shame that they only refer to him as a black man when he is both black and white....

Anthony - It seems like we are the racist ones when we make a comment...how about having a college fund just for WHITES or an all WHITE channel or all WHITE magazine.....see what would happen then....

Well enough of this.....have a nice day... peek in later.

I hope someone hears from Debbie's family about how she is doing....

OK I JUST CALLED THE HOSP.ON DEBBIE SE IS DOING FINE SHE IN RECOVERY NOW AND AS OF NOW THERE IS NO PHONE IN HER ROOM

HI CRACKER MY BUDDY

OK NOBODY WANTS TO TALK SO I GUESS ILL GO
GOOD BYE

HI EVERYONE,

I just heard from Karen Bonavita and she said Debbie is in recovery after a three-hour surgery. It looks as though she had a blood tumor, which according to Karen, may be better than a regular one. That is all I know for now.

Keep your prayers coming for a nice, speedy recovery for our buddy who we love so much.

Love,
Christina

Thank God she is out of surgery......now she will be on the road to recovery.......Deb we are all thinking of you.....

Thank god she is out of surgery i have been watching the clock all day and wondering about her. I new she would call Twiggy. Thanks Twiggy for letting us know.
