Obama actually got into politics because of his white mother. The way the health insurers treated his mother while she died of cancer inspired him to prevent it from happening to others. I don't know where Republicans got the idea that he was all about race politics. Probably the same reason they think the hotel maid is stealing.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
