Re: Sorry, my mistake - 6.25%. Or is it?
That is rather interesting to me... I wonder how the black vote would go if they knew his family descended from slave traders... not too surprising though given that Middle Eastern and African's generally ran the trade on the African continent selling the lessor tribes to the Dutch, etc.
It is also reported that his mother's family ancestry also includes slave owners... that would make his ancestors slave owners on both sides and traders on one.
A rather interesting twist to the whole...

But then I am beginning to think that the war mongering, and this electoral process is all a diversion from reality for the brain dead masses... no one wants to talk about the failing economy, the government stealing from the taxpayer for bail outs among other things, or the multiple generations and extended families being forced into saving and living at least one house, as everyone else in the family loses theirs... or the issues of states requesting all kinds of federal money for things like the exponential increases in homeless families; AZ just received over 30 million from the feds for this issue alone... these families can not afford to rent apartments as they become a more valuable commodity and rates remain stable or are actually increasing in prime locations... which begs the question, why were they given a loan for a house in the first place... well... Clinton's administration stripping some of the "depression" era preventives to permit a fake economic boom, give new light to that so called good budget he "appeared" to have eh? All smoke, mirrors, and cooked books like the dot coms, Enron, etc. etc. etc.
