Malcolm X to Barack Obama: I Am Your Father

I spend way too much time reading commentary and news on lefty web sites like Slate, the Politico, and the Christian Science Monitor, so I shouldn't be too surprised that I missed this jaw dropper: Barack Obama's father was Malcolm X.

This is proven by right-wing blog Atlas Shrugs through simple anthropology, racism and eugenics…

Barack Hussein Obama Sr., Tom Mboya, and Philip Ochieng, all share common physical features of the Kenyan Luo tribe: Modest stature under six feet, round faces, small chins, wide set eyes, slanted back foreheads, and retracted hairlines… none of these features are shared by Malcolm X and Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

It's hard to argue with that one, especially since everyone knows that male babies inherit every single phenotype from their father's Y chromosome. Or in this case, the X chromosome.

The photographic evidence is compelling. The images are the same size. Both Malcolm X and Obama are in front of a microphone. And they're facing the same direction.

This is startling, and I'm sure the Obama campaign wanted to keep a tight lid on it.

Can America really elect a man whose father was a black Muslim?
