Michelle Obama's mom was wary about her marrying a man of mixed race

A new biography of Michelle Obama has revealed that her mother was initially suspicious of her future son-in-law because he was of mixed race.

Barack Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother was a white woman. His parents met in Hawaii although his father abandoned his family when the future president was aged just two.

The claim is contained in a new biography of the First Lady written by Washington Post correspondent Peter Slevin.

And this was the woman we taxpayers were forced to reward with a lavish, all expenses paid vacation in China.

The hypocrisy just never ends.

If one of Obama's (white) mother's cousins expressed the slightest dismay over her relationship with a black African, the outrage and racial publicity events would infest the media for weeks.

If Obama's dad had only taken his son with him!

She has every right to be wary.
