| #2 Given that this paper was published when Candidate Obama was two years old, in a relatively obscure African journal, then archived at a university Obama did not attend, I wouldn't expect Mr. Obama to have been aware of its contents before now. Nor, given his single memory of contact with his birth father at the age of five, would I expect his father's politico-economic views to have affected Mr. Obama's own. |

| #1 "The question is how are we going to remove the disparities in our country such as the concentration of economic power in Asian and European hands while not destroying what has already been achieved and at the same time assimilating these groups to build one country," Obama Sr. wrote. He had the word (assimilation), he just had the sequence and application slightly out of order. Unfortunately both elitists and separatists have a difficult time with "assimilation." In fact, they generally accept the concept only as it applies to thier subjects. |
