Hillary's team has questions about Obama's Muslim background

World Tribune ^ | 1/17/07

[hope]

Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?

This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.

An investigation of Mr. Obama by political opponents within the Democratic Party has discovered that Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia. Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia.

He was born in America to an American mother, which would make him a natural citizen.

He was actually born in Hawaii. And it occurred to me just now that he would NOT have been eligible for the Presidency had he been born just three years earlier (in 1958), since Hawaii wasn't a US State until 1959.

Check this out......

The "Statehood Process" for Hawai`i was a double fraud. It not only failed to provide the correct set of choices to be voted upon. The process altered the "self" who could exercise "self-determination." The qualified voters in this process were U.S. citizens who had resided in Hawai`i for at least one year. Since the American invasion and annexation and during its watch, thousands had migrated to Hawai`i, coming from the U.S., Europe, Asia and other Pacific Islands. Many were associated with the U.S. military’s presence in Hawai`i. Others came for employment, education, opportunities or escape. These people who were or took up U.S. citizenship were all permitted to vote. But those who dared to declare themselves Hawaiian citizens, refusing to accept the imposed American citizenship, could not vote.

Is there any FReeper here who can translate this story?

And so it begins.

[Cincinna]

Has anyone really doubted that it will be business as usual for the Clintons. The inventors of "the politics of personal destruction" are treading on dangerous ground. Too many people know their MO and are on to their game.

This will help to make him a victim.

LOL

[onyx]

Indeed, and he's glib. She might be left looking riled and nasty.

[onyx]

That's a GOOD hope.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It was widely known he was a Muslim even while running for the Senate.

[Straight Vermonter]

Sniff, sniff....I smell toast.

RE: "Wouldn't the concept of the White House being the ultimate 'sleeper cell' appeal to them?"

You bet it would!

Call me nuts.. please! But until Mr. Obama gets blasted by the radical Muslim dangerous nut cases I'm going to continue to wonder.

IMO, Mr. Obama is in no danger from radical Islam -- I don't think they feel that he is an apostate -- but he was born Muslim and abandoned it for Christianity and not a word out of the radical Muslim dangerous nut cases?? Go figure.

Mistake. This kind of mudslinging plays into Obama's hands. He can easily stand up, shake his head, and say, "One of the reasons I became a Democrat was because it was the party that offered opportunity to everyone, regardless of race and creed. Furthermore, such tactics are part of a politics that Americans long to see end. If Mrs. Clinton wants to debate me on the best way forward for our country, I will be happy to discuss the issues with her at any time and any place. I believe, however, she should refrain from such open partisanship."

Obama is the muslim sleeper? I better buy some more ammo.

[Mo1]

I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole

Reminds me of Maureen Dowd being the first to make fun of Obama's ears and then MSNBC blaming Rush for it

[RushLake]

"Cynical me is wondering if this is really hitlery or osamaObama's preemptive strike."

Color me cynical too now that you mention it. This would be a convenient opening for CAIR to step in as the voice of Islimeic reason on Obama's behalf. oslimaobama might just consider coming out of the closet and embracing his islimeic roots. It just might play well with the America hating diversity loving limp wrists at election time.

[OldFriend]

Wondering where the myth of osamaObama being well spoken. Even when his words are written he's not very fluent.

Heard a sound bite from a speech he gave yesterday and he makes President Bush sound like the polished orator!

Not only was osamaO halting, the content was pathetic and ignorant.

[MagnoliaB]

"Oh goody! I'm glad Hillary's camp is doing this."

No kidding! He was in a maddrassa until the age of five. I sure hope Hitlery's camp reminds everyone that these are the most formative years of a childs life. Heeee.....heee....heeee...........

[ballplayer]

I am shocked Hillary is racial and ethnically profiling !!!
Oh the SHAME ,Oh I am sorry ,thats right she has none

[Red_Devil 232]

From the article:

"The background investigation will provide major ammunition to his opponents," the source said. "The idea is to show Obama as deceptive." Deception and lying ... a major tenant of the mohammmadan sect.

[PLMerite]

Good thing for him he's got skeletons. Otherwise I'd fear for his physical safety.
