Why doesn't the press call Obama an illegitimate child?

Question

Obama Sr. was married to another woman in Kenya before he came to America. He ABANDONED a wife and daughter in Africa.

In America, he met Barack's nitwit mother and "married" her... but he CAN NOT be married because he already had a wife.

After he ABANDONED her again, to go from Hawaii to Harvard, she learned of his other wife and "divorced" him.... again... no divorce needed when the marriage is already nullified.

Doesn't this BY DEFINITION mean that Barack Hussein Obama is a b a s t a r d child? His parents were never "divorced" because they were never legally married.

WHY does he keep misrepresenting his upbringing?

Answer 1

Gee, I guess you think that children are somehow responsible for the moral failures of their parents.

Ridiculous.

Answer 2

He knows who his father is...

Answer 3

WHO CARES?  Why does any of this matter?  Attack the man on his political points, not on how he was born.  

Answer 4

1. It really doesn't matter

2. The media is ridiculously liberal

Answer 5

Possibly because no child or person should be considered illegitimate.

Answer 6

Same reason the press doesn't call Bush a coke head, McCain a gigolo, and the Bush daughters alki whorebags.

Answer 7

oh shut up.  it's 2008 for christ's sake.  if you whined and cried about every illegitimate child you would cry yourself to death.

Answer 8

Firstly Obama Sr. was not married in the US. He had a tribal marriage in Africa I think. When Obama Jr was 2 his parents divorced. Obama Jr. 's mom later married Soetoro and moved to Indonesia. Then he moved back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.

Answer 9

He paid Murdoch his protection money?

Answer 10

because he isn't.    please educate yourself before looking like a r****d.

Answer 11

Who cares?  

Answer 12

probably for the same reason the press doesn't call McCain a coward for surrendering to the Vietnamese.  wouldn't yo think that was b.s. too??

Answer 13

The anti-Obama forces keep concentrating on personal attacks and avoiding the issues.  Frankly, I don't care about Obama's parentage because he wasn't responsible for it.  I do care about the current state of the economy under Republican leadership and about McCain's policies which sound just like Bush's, except worse.

Answer 14

Perhaps then they would have to also identify him as a "punishment" - by his own definition (from comments made at a rally in Pennsylvania in April '08).  Perhaps this is one reason that he chose not to identify with his white mother, after all he is a proponent of abortion at any stage of pregnancy.
