16. did he date a black woman?

13. Seriously, that matters a lot

The right wing's strategy will be to attack his experience above the belt and use surrogates to hit him below the belt as a scary foreign cult leader black muslim boogeyman.

Pictures like this one are good to keep on hand for replying to chain mails and suchlike - indeed, I hope the campaign will give them more space on the website on the website. For those who are wavering or merely ignorant (rather than actively prejudiced), images that they can relate to showing what an 'ordinary guy' he is will allow them to relax and consider Obama on his merits instead of based on stereotypes.

I saw a picture some few weeks of him at home washing dishes in the kitchen sink while his kids were (apparently) asking him questions, though I've been unable to find it on the net. It seemed like a casual picture that maybe his wife might have taken (I don't recall her being in it). I loved it because it was such an ordinary domestic scene - it's kind of hard to believe in 'BHO's Evil Plan to Wreck America!!!!!' when you see the supposed super-villain washing dishes.

It's not fair that Obama hasn't aged, and I have!

12. Are she and her brother twins?

The likeness they share is incredible. I saw a documentary on Obama and her brother was interviewed for it and it was immediately clear, even before the "nameplate" on the bottom of the screen came up, that it was her brother.

17. No, he's older.

She has talked about watching his successes and telling herself she could do just as well.
