New York Times: "Words of Obama’s Father Still Waiting to Be Read by His Son"
"Letters written long ago by Barack Obama Sr. shed new light on a young Kenyan whose ambitions helped change the course of U.S. history. But for the president, they may also revive old pain."
“It has been my long cherished ambition to further my studies in America,” he wrote in 1958. His name was Barack Hussein Obama, and his dispatches helped unleash a stream of scholarship money that carried him from Kenya to the United States. There, he fathered the child who would become the nation’s first black president, only to vanish from his son’s life a few years after his birth.
In 2013, the Schomburg Center invited President Obama to see the newly discovered documents, which included nearly two dozen of his father’s letters, his transcripts from the University of Hawaii and Harvard University, and references from professors, advisers and supporters. Nearly three years later, as Mr. Obama celebrates his last Father’s Day in the White House, the center is still waiting for a response.

More than a bit suspicious.
Looks like both of them smoked.
Can you imagine George Washington coming back in 2016 and explaining that we elected a mulatto from the Sandwich Islands as President?
Looks like he's giving the kid a feel.
Somehow, I do feel sorry for the kid.
Hey RC just wait for the Broadway play about it.
What you see is the setup of a man with serious daddy issues that have changed the tone and tenor of a nation. Like father like son, both as leftist as could be. The father, an anti-colonial communist who sired this monster died leaving the world with an anguished child he really didn't give two shits about. And a child who would grow up to become president wants to so have daddy's love, attention, and approval, he takes up his radical Marxist progressive collectivist mantle and now we have the modern day machinations of that.

I can imagine Washington coming back and saying, "well, does this man have the nation and its people interest at heart and is following the Constitution?" and receiving a big fat NO!!! and then looking around and saying, "Well, then hang this nigger until he's dead."
He's thinking that whole "Greetings, I am from Kenya and my hope has always been to further my education in your country" routine worked out splendidly for both of us.
Apple, tree; chip block, father, son, etc.
The best thing that happened to them was colonization. But they have trouble with governing beyond tribal interests even when shown. And nothing at all strange about harboring exceedingly bitter anti colonial resentments and then seek and receive top tier education from another former colony.
Hey! Come to think of it I harbor those same anti colonial resentments.
That's why when I'm watching Milo Yiannopoulos and being vastly entertained the whole time I'm going Jesus you yammer fast and shut up you're British.
And if my mum heard me say that, she'd say, Jesus you're a chip of the block.
"Hey, Uncle Frank never touched Mommy there!"

One looks quite a bit more smoked than the other.
What did Obama base his "Dreams of my Father" book on?
Bill Ayer's imagination.
