Interviews by The Associated Press at the elementary school in Jakarta found that it's a public and secular institution that has been open to students of all faiths since before the White House hopeful attended in the late 1960s.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Allegations that Sen. Barack Obama was educated in a radical Muslim school known as a "madrassa" are not accurate, according to CNN reporting. Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its Web site last week that associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, had unearthed information the Illinois Democrat and likely presidential candidate attended a Muslim religious school known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam.

You can bet whatever skeletons this guy has hanging in his closet, Hellary will expose. Repubs need not do anything.

Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.

Fat into the fire, looks like.

"said the spokesman, Sutopo, who goes by only one name"

Like Cher, Bono, Madonna, and Elvis?

It sure took them long enough to dig up their pack of lies.

So Obama docent want to be associated with his Muslim ancestors. At this point in history I can't say I blame him.

...documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim...

No matter how much he tries to dance out of this one, he is not going to be able to.

Good thing Obama was able to get his history changed so quickly. It might have been embarassing to find out that he did go to a Muslim school, but through quick thinking he was able to get that school changed into a public school... in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, 45 years ago.

"..determined to avoid being tripped up by unsubstantiated charges like those that undermined John Kerry in 2004"

Bad example to pick...

The Swift Boat Veterans for TRUTH, had the goods on Kerry.
They were EYE WITNESSES....one even served on Kerry's boat.

They were NOT unsubstantiated..

Kerry could have attempted to prove his false version of events by simply signing his SF-180.... HE REFUSED.

"...she has vivid memories of the left-handed boy who followed a standard curriculum of math, writing..."

Bush 41 and X 42 are both left handed as well. Not that it means anything. It might be interesting to research how many past Presidents or candidates were left handed.

where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

A little different description of his stepfather & the schooling.

"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.

And a comparison to Osama & his schooling!

" Osama 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. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta."

All those years married to Bubba and Hillary can't come up with a better smear campaign than this?

[Cowboy Bob]

Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.

I'm sure CNN or AP will help answer that question! :^)

LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Watch how the Klintoons attempt to balme everything on the "Mean" Ole Republicans for digging up dirt on MO-BOMA

[tiger-one]

Has anyone seen his birth certificate and verified it???

[MadIvan]

I really don't think this is going to be an effective line of attack on Obama. He has the media on his side and they'll believe him.

What Obama cannot deny, and what the media will have more difficulty glossing over, is the fact that he's a total neophyte. He is too inexperienced to have the power to blow up the world.

Typical AP-they don't get past the first sentence before trotting out the first lie.

Also note the time (age 6 through 10) that Osama Obama went to that school in Indonesia is the time that he claimed as "education overseas" when he was asked about his experience in international affairs. This, and a few college courses, represent his entire experience in that arena.

"Senator Obama has never been a Muslim," Gibbs said. "As a six-year-old in Catholic school, he studied the catechism." The Illinois senator is a member of the United Church of Christ.

Bald-faced lies. Obama was a Muslim for 25 years of his life. His "conversion" of convenience to the ultra-liberal "church" occurred a mere 14 months before his first political run.

The article should be titled "Associated Press Fights Back for Obama"
