If Obama Had A Son Who Ran For Class President

Everyone remembers President Obama's ridiculous comment during the Trayvon Martin incident - "If I had a son, he'd look a lot like Trayvon Martin." - or something to that effect. Naturally, and totally keeping in character for him, he made this statement without really knowing the particulars of the case. Whether he was right or wrong about it is immaterial.  Here's a story about someone who seems much closer to what I imagine the son of the Great and Wondrous King DingleBarry would be like.

If President Obama had a son, and he was running for class president, he might just be like one young man who recently ran for class president at St. Peter’s Prep, in Jersey City, NJ.

In May, it was reported that a black student at the school received four racist text messages warning him to drop out of the race.

“We have NEVER and will NEVER have an (n-word) to lead our school,” was one of the messages supposedly sent to the 16-year-old student, who at the time, was a resident in Jersey City. The message went on to call President Obama by his middle name Hussein and used a racial slur in referring to Obama, a police report said. “We will never make that mistake again. Drop out right now . . .” it continued, a police report said.

A second message read “Whites! Your a waste on this earth, a waste at this school, and most importantly a Waste for this campaign.” That message called the student government candidate a “slave” and used a racial slur, a report said.

The third message texted to — and as it turns out from — the student, contained a warning to drop out of the race and the fourth read, in part, “COMEONE your black!!! lol your a joke for even trying to run,” according to a police report.

Michah Onditi, 16, who eventually lost the election, and became class Vice-President, no longer attends St. Peter’s, but the entire incident has been thrown into a new light with the revelation that the student who sent the vile text messages was……..Michah Onditi.

“The entire Saint Peter’s Prep community is relieved that this extremely distressing incident has found closure, and we commend the various law enforcement officials for their diligent work on this case over the past months,” said school spokesman James Horan, who confirmed the results of the probe after its disclosure by a police source.

At the time Onditi received the texts, he notified his parents and school officials, who in turn reported the incident to the police. The police, however, were unable to immediately to identify the sender due to the texts being sent through a smartphone app called TEXTME.

In an interview with The Jersey Journal at the time the texts were sent, the boy’s father said his son was “extremely nervous and feels threatened” and did not want to be interviewed.

“He is the type of boy who does not want any kind of trouble,” the father said. “It’s so sad. He doesn’t want the image of the school to be tainted.”

“It is a predominantly white school and there may be a few sections of the school who are fearful of a new face trying to get in office,” the father also said at the time.

There has been no comment from the family since the hoax was revealed, and Jersey City police spokesman, Bob McHugh, has also refused to comment due to Onditi being a minor.
