It was awesome!


I've been reading up a lot on Obama, and I'm very impressed.

But - have you heard his wife speak?? I think she has more charisma than he does.

Just received this email from a [Christian] friend:

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.'

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his, stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.





ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading THE WORLD?...... NOT ME!!


Oh, he's Muslim. Something like 666. He comes from divorced parents, one "black as pitch", the other "white as milk" (Barack's own description). He didn't use the Holy Bible, but the Qur'an, when sworn into office. Obviously another crime to the witch hunters. Connect the dots of prejudice here. He attended a "MUSLIM" school. Connect al qaeda here. His mother was "ATHEIST". He comes from a broken family of mixed parentage and his mother remarried a "radical" Muslim (but she was atheist? Maybe she saw something in this human being others didn't). Evil, evil, evil!! Nothing to say about what Obama has actually said for himself, and his vision for the future.

I have no qualms (thus far) about Barack Obama "leading the world", nor the fact that he is "MUSLIM".

I'm an Obama man too. But only 'cause Gravel and Kucinich didn't make it. I still have hopes for Ron Paul, especially since he tied with huckabee and McCain today in Washington, but my hope is slowly fading, and shifting into Obama's court.

Well this thread really died :O

McCain for the Republicans.

Still a toss up for the Dems between Hilary and Obama.

Romney never really got traction after his defeats in Iowa and New Hampshire. Maybe he'll be the VP. *Shrugs*

Unstickying.
