Does Obama Meet the Minimum Requirements for the Presidency?

Our forefathers set forth few and fair restrictions upon those who wish to earn the rank of President of the United States. Today these just requisites to achieve our Nation’s highest office are being discarded by the very leaders with whom we entrust our safety, honor, and freedom. It is obvious to me and the educated, intelligent citizens I’ve had the privilege to speak with over the past months that Mr. Obama fails to meet one of the essential qualities each of the previous presidents has embodied. It is a requirement so self-evident that the drafters of the Constitution did not see a need to even write it down. I speak, of course, of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is not white. Below, I present three lines of evidence that conclusively demonstrate that he is indeed not white and therefore not fit to hold the office of leader and servant of this fine land.

1. Photographic evidence: Throughout the course of his life, Obama has been photographed over 40 million times. In each of these images he fails to display the lowest degree of whiteness. Furthermore he has, after several requests, failed to produce a single piece of photographic evidence indicating that he is anything but not white.

2. Genealogical evidence: Mr. Obama has supplied a detailed genealogy, in which we are told of his Kenyan father, a man described as decidedly unwhite. More convincingly we have his daughters, neither of whom is as white as would be expected had Michelle Obama mated with a white man (see right). As we can see, evidence from three generations of Obama’s family indicates that his whiteness is in serious doubt.

3. Social evidence: Few will dispute that Mr. Obama displays several habits of nonwhites.
• He is stylish, well dressed, and well groomed.
• He has been known to utilize the “fist-bump” or “pound”.
• He has friends who are not white.
• He can play basketball at an average skill level.
• He is a competent dancer.

If, as I assume, you are convinced that Barack Obama is unfit to be president, please contact your congressperson and ask that they support a bill requiring Obama and all future candidates to present definitive evidence of whiteness.
