I'm not shopping by any means, I'm just curious!
Why is it so bad for a Jewish woman to marry a Gentile male?
There would be more Jewish children brought in to the world right?

It is forbidden by Jewish law. That makes it wrong by definition.
Jews are only allowed to marry other Jews.
Furthermore, a Jewish child needs a mother and a father to bring him/her up in a culture of Torah observance and learning. A non-Jewish father is not equipped to do that even if he wanted to (in fact he is forbidden to try because he is not Jewish and therefore not allowed to observe Jewish law), and the fact is that in most cases a non-Jewish father will have no interest in doing so at best, and be hostile or extremely opposed to it at worst. Why would you want Jewish children brought into the world in broken families with identity crises and "multiple religions?"

No religion permits intermarriage, least of all Judaism. It is a sin against yourself and G-d.

On a separate note... I always that intercultural or interfaith marriages usually have kids that follow the fathers side more than the mothers...
Look at Obama... he barely even knew his father... but when it came down to it.... he decided to ignore and hate his mother's side... and embrace his evil racist father.

A gentile father is technically not the "father". Sure biologically yes but the child of a Gentile is a ben or bat Avraham. Because they have no biological and spiritual Jewish father-- the father automatically becomes Avraham.
Hashem forbade intermarriage. He said it is forbidden and in fact such relationships would take the Jewish person in the relationship away from Hashem. A Jewish child needs the guidance from their Jewish mom and their Jewish dad. Both of them are essential to the child's development into a religious and observant adult.
To give an example... a Kohen is set apart from Israel to work in the Temple. As such, Hashem required all Kohanim to bot be blemished. If a Kohen wants to marry a Jewish woman, both her parents needs to be Jewish. The mother and father must be Jews for the woman to be able to marry a Kohen. This may be a rabbinical prohibition but it's an example. If it's ok for Jewish woman to marry Gentile men- then why are Kohanim not allowed to marry the Jewish daughter of a Gentile man? That says something about the importance and seriousness of the situation.
I found this article that I found helpful:

He ignored his radical socialist mother?

ok... he did keep his that part... but watch 2016... in spite of the fact that his father was never there for him at all.. he really embraced his ideology and his hatred of the west.
Also.... why would Obama choose an anti-white, black liberation 'church' if he was half white... and was raised by whites... shouldnt he have at least chosen a mixed 'church'?

I think he chose that church because it was expected of himcby the black community in his district.
