oh my goodness - what an incredible story (or sadly too credible for USA.... speculation has more to do with his religion than with his race. It represents a notably frightening development.
...Politics, ...., is a dirty business.
And it looks as though the beginnings of a sink-Obama Swiftboat ambush has started.
In 2004, the Swiftboat veterans countered claims that John Kerry was a Vietnam war hero and helped defeat him
This time -- naturally enough -- it begins again with those angry, middle-aged white guys who have run the United States and operate ultra-conservative mouthpieces like the Washington Times and Fox News.
The Times ran a piece in its Internet offshoot, called Insight, which claimed Obama was raised a Muslim and attended a radical Madrassa while a child in Indonesia.
Not true, said the Obama camp, as did CNN, which sent a team to Indonesia to investigate the school.
..... "If [Insight] or the staff at Fox had taken time to check their facts, or simply made a call to his office, they would have learned that Senator Obama was not educated in a Madrassa, was not raised as a Muslim, and was not raised by his father -- an atheist Obama met once in his life before he died."
Even so, it has all the earmarks of a smear job. It also raises another more important concern -- which has led to the dramatic increase in Secret Service protection. It would take only one crazed Islamicist to regard him as an "apostate," or fallen-away Muslim, which fanatics consider far, far worse than being an infidel.
No - That's the ASF mod team.like these maybe ? :-

Doris,
Are you American?
Barack Obama has the lack of experience tag on him and this is likely, to not stall his campaign, but make it highly unlikely that he will become the Democratic candidate. Many would like to see her, Hillary Clinton, back in the Whitehouse, this time as President, and the experienced Bill Clinton there as well.
Do they want Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? Well, with the financial backing Hillary has "Yes". It would be Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton and Clinton.
I worked for a while in the US and often Americans would say a foreigner got a raw deal. Then comment "long may it continue".
Barak having relations in Kenya makes good reading for little guy made good. However, he is sadly seen as a foreigner by many and he may well get a raw deal.
McCain is a great guy but needs a great running mate. If Romney stands with him, I doubt he will, then he could have a good chance.

oh my goodness - what an incredible story (or sadly too credible for USA) the press should be seriously hauled over the coals for that one

itha - lol - taken to the cleaners indeed.
I loved hearing Bill Clinton badnaming Obama today, (not) - claiming he didn't vote against the war as he said ( during 2002- 2005 etc) - claiming he couldn't lie straight in bed etc - Immediately denied by Obama in a strong voice ( sounded like desperation tactics by Clinton, i.e. getting dirty)
a) you'd think the voting record was easy to prove or disprove
b) I just kept thinking of "I did NOT make love to that woman !" lol
