Obama does have an African father, but his mom is white American and her family raised him. He is as white as he is black, but he is more American than African. His "black" African father didn't make the effort to raise him for whatever reasons.

The guy has spent more time fighting black politicians in his career than whites, because he doesn't play the race card.

He's not Jesse Jackson, he is Barack Obama.
