This is in response to T.L. Cassell’s letter (Nov. 24):
Barack Obama actually is our first African American president. If you had done your research more thoroughly, you would know that his father is from Kenya, which makes him African American as well as biracial.

if african american means that you kick the peacemongering progressives out your honeymoon bed and make them watch as you have monkey sex with Hillary"obliterate iran"Clinton and Surge Gates after you are elected, then yes, he is african american. The word was more fun when it was hyphenated. I always wondered what african american meant. Thanks Dianna, for the moment of clarity. Now I'm going to kill myself with a rusty spoon.
