I look at Barack [Obama], he's slim like my father, and Michelle's [Obama] full figured like my mother. And I just love it.

[Barack Obama] and Michelle, in my heart, this is my personal feeling, epitomize what my mother and my father were. They are community organizers on a global level.

Michelle and Barack [Obama] epitomize what my father set the stage for - they epitomize global community organizing. I'm a global child, I was raised a global child, and he's a global child.

We're all African-American, so we're all influenced by each other.

I ignore [Barack Obama] like I ignore [Louis ] Farrakhan.

To me, it's normal. We summered in Vermont, and me and my sister Ilyasah went to one of the top ten schools in the country [the Hackley School].

[My father] was not a racist, unlike what the white racist media would say. He had a global outlook just like Barack [Obama] and Michelle [Obama].
