Let’s make you famous expatguy.
Here is a link to expatguy’s blog. As expatguy has stated, no one has dared even challenge the information on his website regarding Obama’s childhood. As far as I’ve seen, expatguy is the most informed English language journalist/correspondent in the world specializing in Obama’s childhood in Jakarta Indonesia.
I strongly suggest you all, Freeper and lurker alike, to browse his website:
Here in an interesting exchange on my blog earlier this year. As you will see, my predictions are coming true.
"I as a black muslim in the US find it disgusting that they are trying to dig this up about him. Even if he went to a mosque and prayed five times a day, fasted ramadan and all the other things involved, that does not disqualify him as a good american, and certainly not as president..."
Nobody ever said it did and you won't find anywhere on this blog where I suggested such a thing.
"To top it off, he says he wasnt/isn't muslim leave him alone..."
From what I said in another post:
'Despite what they say though, the reality is that for Obama and many of his supporters the veracity of the rumors is not really an issue, what is an issue is the audacity of their opponents to dare tread into what they consider to be an illegitimate area of inquiry. We've all heard this same story before with Bill Clinton who never was able to wrap his head around the fact that it was his character that was called into question rather than his conduct.'
Barack Obama has not been honest and forthright with the American people, and that is what I find disturbing. Why should I or anyone else be compelled to just accept what he says and then "leave him alone"?
The day when Barack Obama "comes out of the closet" and says "Yes I was born a Muslim and practiced Islam in my childhood, but later converted to Christianity", then I will salute him for his candor and honesty.
In any event, I can assure you that America is in for an October surprise regarding Obama and at that time Obama will find himself compelled to retract what he said regarding his so-called non-religious upbringing in Indonesia. ;-)
At the end of the day, I still wouldn't vote for him though, because he represents a danger to our nation during a time when we are at war and because I don't believe in his Marxist politics. Simple as that.

"That being said... even if he is not being completely forthright about how Islamic his upbringing was or wasn't can you blame him."
I totally understand why he wants to avoid the subject, but he lies about it and by doing so he is dishonest to the American people.
He admitted his drug use as a teenager and as much I might dislike that, I can at least appreciate his honesty on the matter. He needs to do the same thing with regards to his religious upbringing. Be honest about it.
The truth comes out, it always does and when it comes out on Obama (which it will) he will have to pay the price. Maybe at that time he will regret not being honest to begin with.
I strongly believe that virtue is a quality we should expect of our elected leaders don't you?

"The American media is greatly downplaying Obama's Muslim past."
First of all Eric you need to understand that much of America's main stream media strongly supports the far left in the United States.
Secondly, this is an issue related to Obama's religious upbringing which in itself presents a dilemma, not only for the main stream media but for many Americans themselves.
As I pointed out above, there are many who simply will dismiss any allegations here regardless of their veracity as lies, by claiming that they intrude upon an "illegitimate area of inquiry". But once confronted with the truth, you will notice many of the responses from leftists here slowly change from total disbelief to "Ok so what if he was a Muslim, whats the big deal?" ie. the "illegitimate area of inquiry".
And when all else fails, the race card will be played. There will be violent allegations of hateful bigotry and racism.
Read through some of the responses here and you will see what I mean.
I might not be famous now... but I will be famous very very soon.
The big surprise is coming. The mother of all swiftboats.
Rest assured FRiends that Obama will never see the Whitehouse.
