Is Obama African? No.
Is Obama a Communist? No, he's not part of any such organization. However, some of his policies seem to have socialistic tendencies.
Does he appear African? Yes
Does he appear Communist? Only to the misinformed.
What's the point of describing people using definitions alone? You limit how much can be expressed by using such a definitive methodology. What we
should be doing is engaging in broad discussions concerning the entire range of his proposed policy issues. We have to test our opinions, run them
through a formula that we as a community have developed through this hypothetical broad discussion, thus evaluating those opinions to discern from
fact and ignorance, and finally creating valid conclusions. You have to admit your conclusions aren't substantiated. They are anecdotal and biased
opinions. They need to be tested opinions.
You're just taking "evidence" from places you are merely calling reputable. You've connected the dots too liberally here. You've come out with a
convoluted interpretation of the reality of the drawing as a whole.
