What they can’t/won’t say about Obama!
February 25, 2008
The Obama campaign is in an uproar about photos being circulated by Clinton Staffers. The photos show Obama dressed as a traditional Muslim Elder from Somalia. The irony is that the more the mainstream press keeps the ‘Muslim’ rumors just below the waterline the more people think there is something to them. I myself assumed that Obama must have been a ‘reformed’ Muslim, attending a Christian church just for show. I got tired of the ‘elephant in the room’ and decided to do a little digging of my own. I won’t vote for Obama for one simple reason: his tax policy. It doesn’t have anything to do with his religion. But for those of you who were wondering:
Here are the facts: Obama moved from Hawaii to Indonesia when he was six and attended a Madrasah in Jakarta until he was ten. The curriculum was generally secular according to 60 Minutes. His biological father (a Kenyan national) was a Muslim, but was a confirmed atheist and his stepfather (an Indonesian national) was also Muslim, but according to Obama he was “a man who saw religion as not particularly useful.” His experience in Indonesia seemed to be the most positive part of his life.
Obama wrote in his best selling book, that when he returned to the United States he began using alcohol, marijuana and cocaine to “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” In 1988 Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ, the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ (Oprah attends). Obama denies that he has ever been a Muslim, suggesting that he is a committed Christian.
The proof? Lots of leaders have worn local garb:
