Don't let Hilary's negative press get to you. Barak Hussein Obama is not Muslim. His father was, but was not much in his life after he was 2 years old.

It is not her, I first saw a photo of him LONG BEFORE he started running.
I think it might be the anti-whites "feel" the church he attends gives off in their mission statement (I don't think anyone regardless of race should discriminate against anyone else). Or maybe the tapping around his Muslim past that does it (His step-dad was one too). Or it could be his lack of long-term public past (ie votes). I feel strongly about HOW we will handle the mid-east and I just don't feel "good" about what he says. I don't know, the more I learn about him the more I get turned around. I hear a ton that I know is NOT true, but what is true does worry me. I know he is young and touts change, but I wish more people would look past the face to the facts. And his facts are fuzzy.
I will watch and see I guess.

Regardless of the outcome of the Democratic race, I find myself leaning towards McCain, anyway. I don't like either Clinton or Obama.

Funny,
I vote more Dem most of the time (my mom gives them tons of money and my grandmother was a big time lobby for them) but I too find myself leaning to him. Can't say I think everything he says is right but at least you can respect that he loves America and gave up lots for it.
Again, I guess I am just going to sit back and watch.

My brother has similar views. He had a class about Islam back in college which was very educational. He's scared of muslims getting into office.

But if Obama isn't muslim maybe it's a moot point.

yeah, I guess I wonder at how much it might sway him that all.

Obama is not muslim he is UCC (United Church of Christ) which is one of the most liberal of American Christian Denominations.

I don't think he is a Muslim, I am more worried about how this in his childhood effects his choices (for the good or the bad, in other words if he hated Muslims would be just as bad if he made pushes only for them)
As far as his church, the one he attends, it's mission statement made me kind of sit back and wonder.
Again I say I will sit back and watch this all and will still worry.

Thanks, if you see anything else like this I would love to read it ... about any of the people running.
One can never get enough information.
