#1 I don't know any African-Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa. I think it's mostly celebrated by elementary school teachers and their classes.

#2 Kinda like what a lot of other people are doing this time of year. Started a little earlier than '66 though.

#4 A short google review of Dr. Maulana Karenga the founder of Kwanzaa might be quite revealing.

#6 This guy doesn't know what he is talking about, he predates this fiction, might as well celebrate Festivus for a week...

#7 The principles of Kwanzaa seem to emphasize race and struggle too much. The other principles seem good--if they were lived. Kwanzaa Dr. Maulana Karenga was a Black Power activist back in the '70s. Not a surprise that Obama would channel her and Kwanzaa. As for me, I vote for Festivus as an alternative.

No, definitely not. It's little more than constituent theater. He doesn't believe that kak any more than we do. Besides, he too absorbed in self-celebration.

#10 After six years in office, 18 church attendences and 200 rounds of golf. Im real clear what this man sells versus what he believes, religion and integrity are just themes for political theater, like everything else he does, pure deception to cover things that ought to get him impeached.

#11 The first item is the airing of the grievances.
