It was not appropriated as a freebe for the alaskan governor to buy more tanning booths and lipstick for herself. It was not an entitlement for her to waste, as she did. "

In which case he could change it (he's a lawyer and knows how to do that). Or he wants to embrace his Muslim fathers heritage.
What is ironic is that Obama is half white, yet he runs from that like he's embarassed. Combine that with his close aliance to Wright and endorsement of Farakan, you can easily see why people think he favors Islam.
By the way, where has Obama ever been asked about slavery reparations? I can't find it. A non answer doesn't mean he isn't for it. "
