I didn´t say he went as far as to renounce his mother - just that he only refers to his black side, playing the "black power politics" card etc.
Rubbish - He's always praising his dear ol momma
"When I think about my mother," Obama told me recently, "I think that there was a certain combination of being very grounded in who she was, what she believed in. But also a certain recklessness. I think she was always searching for something. She wasn't comfortable seeing her life confined to a certain box."
Doesn't seem to be 'obviously trying to forget' his mother in the mass of quotes about her. Strange statement to make.
