Last summer he greeted 32-year old Kim Dae-yong, a campaign volunteer he happened to run into, in Korean by saying �annyeonghasaeyo�.

Here's the clip:

Quote:
His younger sister Maya Seotoro-Ng has said, �Hawaii is proud of Obama and there many Koreans there so naturally he has some understanding of Korean culture. Obama and I would have bibimbap once a week.�


Quote:
In 2001, when he was a member of the Illinois State Senate, he began studying taekwondo and has since achieved a fifth-degree blue belt.


Those Air Force One hijackers had better watch out.

Quote:
In �Dreams From My Father�, Obama described the Koreans who lived in a mainly black neighborhood in Chicago and kept to themselves.


I'll bet they did.

Quote:
He also describes Koreans who contributed money to the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization.


Koreans contributed money to the Ku Klux Klan?!

Quote:
Obama has criticized the Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement, saying, �it has to be re-negotiated to make sure American jobs are not lost� Korea sells hundreds of thousands of cars to America every year but America can only sell a few thousand in Korea.�

I'm not too surprised there are Koreans who contribute money to the KKK. There are some weird far-right nutjobs from here.

I dunno, but I can totally picture Obama doing that Bruce Lee, "YYYaaaaaaWWWWWWWWWW...WOOOOOWOOOOOOO" thing, waving his hands about like a bad ass.

Putin, Judo man, meet Obama, Tae Kwon Do man.

I can see where Obama is coming from, but really now, who in the world would take a piece of junk made by Ford, GM or Chrysler over a Hyundai? Hyundais have come a loooooooooong way since they were first introduced to the American market back in 1986. I've never bought an American car...and probably never will. American cars suck balls.

I still can't help but think that those Koreans were very unclear about the KKK's philosophy and ultimate goals. Maybe they only caught the part about how they don't like black people ("Hey, we don't either!").
