The RW will try to use Obama to cover for Palin
Barack Obama's Mother Was an Unwed Teenager and Other Random Thoughts About Sarah Palin

They're confused:

Barack Hussein Obama II<1> was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., a Black Kenyan of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a White American from Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was a foreign student.<2> They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.<3>


Stop the distortion.

2. I did some fact checking.
His parents got married in 1960. His mother was married when she gave birth.

I will be amused though if they spin Obama's father into a polygamist. It's not beneath them.

3. did you read to the bottom of the article though? Surprised me how it ended
considering how it started out

Finally, can someone please tell me why (aside from rank political opportunism) bright, college-educated folks like Palin and McCain insist on putting Biblical mythology on an equal par with biology, physics, and astronomy? Evolution is science. Genesis is superstition. Casting a vote for the GOP ticket this year is endorsing ignorance.

4. The opener is blatantly false
Maybe the editor at U.S. News had a hand in it.
