Pres. Obama: Bi-Racial Dilemma?

I never had a bi-racial friend but something tells me they have stories to tell. Not Blacks stories and not white stories but bi-racial ones. Are there jokes they tell amongst themselves? Do they think of their Black consciousness and their white consciousness?

I imagine they can use combinations of words describing their voyages in life that would make my ears ring. I can but imagine the world they would describe to me. Navigating through two worlds in America, one Black and one white has to be -I can think of no other word- an experience.

There is always fear and confusion of the unknown; always that mystic we want to probe and conquered and bring order to. We want to put our nervous system to rest and let it be; bury it deep enough so we can live.

Only after reading the diary of Keith Olbermann do I now raise the question to myself I had poo-pah’ed when Hillary first asked it on the campaign trail: “Who is Barack Obama?” I ask that question not of myself but I wonder does he himself know? Do we see the President’s essence in what many consider his struggles with bi-partisanship? I remain baffled with the President hiring two people whom he feels best represents him and would fight his battles for and or with him: Hillary Clinton and Rahm Emanuel. Do our answers lie within those three angles, a triangle, if you will?
As always,
BB

P.S. Odd as it may appear, I wonder if Hillary and Rahm represent parental figures to the President?
Special Comment: Tea Parties And Race
by Keith Olbermann
Excerpt:
Fatal racism, passive racism, self-rationalized racism. It all blended together for me yesterday, and it led me to think about the Tea Party group, who they are, who they aren't, and what they're afraid of.

And
The whole of the "anger at government" movement is predicated on this.  
Times are tough, the future is confusing, the threat from those who would dismantle our way of life is real (as if we weren't to some extent doing it for them). And the president is black. But you can't come out and say that's why you are scared. Say that, and in all but the lifeless fringes of our society, you are an outcast.
