    Father’s Race unusual.

    Reading about Obama birth is like reading a mystery novel. It’s not very productive, but it makes you wonder. Can anyone explain why Obama’s COLB list the father as AFRICAN? Africa is a continent not a race, and in 1961 they would have listed his race as NEGRO. Or, why is it that they cannot get straight what hospital he was born in? These are questions my neighbor keeps asking me, and I can’t find an answer to.
