Yawn. I attended Catholic schools at a few points during my peripatetic upbringing. At one, this included a First Communion preparation class that all students in my grade had to take. At another, it involved attendance at weekly mass during school hours and a formal course in Catholic religion. Doesn’t mean I was ever a Catholic. I’m sure if I became famous, people could dig up a few former classmates who would “remember” that I was “very religious” and practicing Catholicsm. My parents were both firm atheists from adolescence onwards, but both were raised as Catholics, so it would also be easy to find documentation that they had been baptized and confirmed Catholics.

Yep, all the material is there to support media “exposes” claiming that Candidate GovernmentShrinker, who keeps saying she’s not a Catholic and never has been, is concealing the truth about her devout Catholic upbringing.

Your post would be dead on except for the fact that Obama has an ad running in Oregon where he implies that he started school in a typical US classroom(American flag prominently displayed). He opened the door for further investigation.

That’s how I see it, too. He was a child. What disturbs me is the church he belongs to now, not the school his mother put him in, nor the country she moved him to.

It ain’t about you and your experiences. It’s about Barack and his experiences being raised as a Muslim for 4 crucial impressionable years in his young life. That stuff stays with you
