Let's talk about Obama

[Anna]

His father was raised as a Muslim. Barack was evidently schooled in a Muslim school in his early years. You want to know who is laughing at Americans? It is all the Muslims around the world. You See where I come from (Malaysia) we know that even a tiny hint that you were raised in a Muslim family means you can never deny the Muslim faith. I caution all of you that are considering voting for Barack Hussien Obama. Is this a sheep or a wolf?

If you had actual political reasons to be against Obama, i might listen to you a bit, but the fact that you are telling people that just cause he was raised Muslim we shouldnt vote for him honestly disappoints me, that people still think this way.

Just like any religion, Christianity, Islam, Jusaism, and so forth, there are always fanatics, there are always people who make the religion as a whole look bad. I mean, look at the crusades, and the spanish inquisition, look at the genocide commited by the jew back in the old testiment days when their god told them to kill non belivers in surrounding tribes.

I dont care about the religious beliefs of politicians, they can believe what they want about their god or gods, when it comes down to it, our country is supposed to have a thing called "seperation of church and state" when i go to the polls i will vote for who i think will do the best job as a president based on their policies, experiance, and platforms, not based on who they pray to, or who they prayed to when they were six years old.

The USA is a free country, meaning "ideally" if a muslim, or a buddhist, or catholic, or jew, gay straight, deaf, or blind, black, white, arabic, asian, or whatever kind of person wanted to run for president, and the public approved their canidicy, they can. That is what our country is supposed to be about. Who cares if Obama used to be a Muslim, and who cares if he still is, if he can get the job done and turn this country around i say his Muslim background should not be an issue.

If you have a problem with obama, give us some concerns you have about his platform, not about his religious upbringing.

I would never vote on Obama. Inflating my tires will not solve the energy crisis either. He would try to take over our free country.. Who is he trying to fool.
