Checking In With Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh:
Do you know [Obama] has not one shred of African-American blood?

[...]

He's Arab. You know, he's from Africa. He's from Arab parts of Africa. ... [H]e's not African-American. The last thing that he is is African-American."
Obama was born in Hawaii, of a white mother from Kansas and a Kenyan father. After his father left the family when he was age 2, his mother married an Indonesian man and the family moved to Indonesia for 4 years. Obama then returned to Hawaii and lived with his grandparents there from 5th grade through high school. He then went to college in LA, NYC, and then moved to Chicago.

Arab?
