Associated Press has revealed that Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States, attend a Catholic school in Indonesia registered as a Muslim, further clouding the issue of where Obama was schooled in Indonesia and when. Obama, by his own admission in books that he has written, has said that he attended a Catholic school and a Muslim school while living in Indonesia with his atheist mother and Muslim stepfather. But now that Fox News reported that Obama may have been indoctrinated in Islamic teachings while attending the Muslim school in Indonesia , he and his handlers have gone spinning the story to the news media, and their stories do not match up.
Obama is claiming that the allegations by Fox are scurrilous and that he believes people recognize that the notion that me going to school in Indonesia for two years at a public school there at the age of 7 and 8 is probably not going to be endangering in some way the people of America. Associated Press is reporting that the Muslim school Obama attended is a public school, open to people of all faithsthis according to the spokesman for Indonesias Ministry of Religious affairs who goes only by the name of Sutopo. Records show that Obama attended a Catholic school first and then the Muslim school. When he was ten years old, he moved to Hawaii and attended a private secular school.
There are many holes in Obamas story. First, if he attended the Muslim school when he was seven and eight, which school did he attend when he was nine and ten, if he first attended the Catholic school? There appears to be a gap in his education or a miscommunication about what school he attended and when he attended it. Associated Press reports that Obamas mother relocated to Indonesia from 1967-71 after marrying Obamas Muslim step-fatherwho Obama claims was no longer Muslim, but an atheist. The Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where Obama first attended school, enrollment documents, however, show Obama enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
Obamas spokesman Robert Gibbs says he isnt sure why the Catholic school document had Obama listed as a Muslim. Gibbs told AP, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim. While the spokesman is denying that Obama was never a Muslim, Obama, himself, has not publicly said he was never and is not now a Muslim.
What can Americans expect of a Muslim-educated Obama? AP writes of its interviews at the Muslim school in Indonesia, Those tied to the school say they are proud to have had a student like Obama, and hope that, if he is elected president, his ties to Indonesia will broaden his world perspective and his views on religion. Indonesia is home to some of the most radical Islamic schools in the world. And Obamas identity is yet to be revealed as the confusing doubletalk hides the real Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States .

Fixed it.
How about a Methodist who hasn't run anything? Of the three, I think the Methodist (Hillary) is the most dangerous for the country.
I'd rather see Obama get the Democrat nomination. He can be defeated easily. Hillary cannot.
Hillary is power-hungry and has the political machine to back her up. She also has scores to settle against her perceived "enemies" on the right. She has already indicated she would take things from Americans for the "common good" (whatever her definition of that may be). She has her own agenda and will rule like a tyrant if given the chance. She knows how to "make" people do things by intimidation, coercion, and exertion of political power. A very dangerous woman.
I don't care about Obama. He's a political lightweight. He's naive enough to think that people will support his ill-conceived ideas just because they like him.
Actually, he would be subject to forced conversion by torture.
Obama loves to say he is an outsider in Washington and loves to compare his lack of experience to Lincoln's. The world is a different place. Lincoln didn't need to have as much experience in understanding foreign affairs as Obama will need.
As the Jesuits say, "Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man."
He claims to be a Christian, has an atheist mother, and a muslim father... What a super political candidate. He has all the bases covered. No wonder he is a dumbocrate's dream candidate.
Nay, Hillary will not let anyone who is a bright up and coming star anywhere near her.
Whatever illumination she puts out, which is not much, Obama will drown her out
Bill Richardson will be her pick, as the moonbat media says, he has gravitas, and the foreign policy experience which is Hillary major weakness
LOL!!
Then he is either lying about his religion, or he's an apostate muslims. If he's an apostate muslim then aren't the liberals concerned that the muslim street will be agitated against a nation that chooses as it's leader someone who should be killed according to Islam? Aren't they concerned about offending muslims? Or do they just think he's lying?
beckwith, I hope you don't mind...

Sorry FRiend, but this is not entirely true - in fact, it is a bit misleading.
Of course he considers himself black.
He has referred to his Hawaiin grandparents, who raised him from the age of 10, as "white folk."
