On another note, the claim that Obama is a Muslim or a terrorist is insane. Not that there's anything wrong with being a Muslim, but the fact remains that Obama is NOT a muslim. How do we know this:
1) Remember in 2008 about that controversy involving Obama's PASTOR, one REVEREND Wright? The news reported at that time that Obama had been attending that church for years and years.
2) You're saying to me that some hicks in Alabama could stumble across the fact that Obama is a Muslim Terrorist, while the NSA, FBI, CIA and all the world's intelligence agencies never picked up on it? Even when the Bush administration was in charge? If these Birther/Muslim claims had ANY weight to them at all, why didn't the Republican party use it during the 08 campaign?
3) Newspaper records dating back from the 60's document Obama's birth in Hawaii. Unless you're some crazed conspiracy nut who believes that the illuminati are controlling everything behind the scenes with the lizard people who planted the evidence over 49 YEARS AGO, that's compelling proof that Obama is a US citizen.
If 21% of US americans believe that some rednecks in Alabama could find out that Obama is a Kenyan Muslim, while all the intelligence services in the world couldn't find that out, then 21% of the US population has clearly been drinking far too much alcohol.
1. "reverend" Wright is a Black Liberation Theology minister, which uses Christian as well as muslim and humanist tenets as part of their belief that spirituality will free them from their bonds. They call their pastors reverends and ministers even though the MINISTER Louis Farrakhan is a member of The Nation of Islam. Not knocking their religion, but they're about as Christian as Unitarian Universalists are.
2. Who that's credible ever called him a terrorist? That's like saying every Christian is a bible-thumping bigot. Being Islamic would
never in itself raise a red flag with the CIA. Also, McCain was inept and refused to do any real fighting in the campaigh, and his timidity is why most things about him were never brought up. Also if he is muslim, so what? That means absolutely nothing as long as he has the country's well-being at heart and does his job.
3. The only documents brought forth by the administration was a certificate of live birth. He refuses to show any other records. You can actually get one of those for a noncitizen child as long as theres no proof that the baby was born outside of the country. If he was born outside tthe US but was brought to the US in time to get the certificate, they'd have given it as long as he was the right age. I'm not a birther personally, but you can see how this administration's refusal to simply show it all to end the debate can raise some eyebrows. Also, rednecks from Alabama? A lot of people who Obama KNOWS that are known to the public aren't sure of his birth, having occasionally CALLED him KENYAN.
My reply is going to start a flame war, but so be it. I hate automatic assumptions.
