His actions as regards the national anthem and wearing a lapel pin do not help him in this regard.
The actions of his admitted mentor and pastor of his church when he acclaims Louis Farrakhan do not help either.
His actions in support of the Islamic candidate in 2006 in Kenya do not help either.
So, look, I do not believe he is an active Muslim...but the ties are troubling at the best and something that should give people pause when electing a President, particularly when we are at war with Islamic Jihadists.
That's all. Nothing rascist or cooky about that in the least.
And all of this is in addition to his ideology and positions on the issues which nix him absolutely in any case. To me, it's all a part of a bigger picture that indicates that Obama would be a terrible choice for our Republic.

Just a thought: Of what I’ve read over the years for him to have rejected Islam for Christianity would have earned him vociferous negative acclaim within the Muslim World. Haven’t heard a thing, have you?
I was wondering what everyone thought of THIS??? (above link)

Fact is he was born of a fundamental Islamic father who left them at age two. His Mom married another fundamental Islamic who raised him fora number of years in Indonesia. He then came to the states.

Very well said, thank you. A trivial point to make, however I think it must be made. Obama is half black and half white. The black part of his family/parentage abandoned him at age 2. From that point on the white side of his family was responsible for enabling him to get a good education, not the black side who had abandoned him.
So now he seems to acknowledge the black part of his being and gives no credit to the white part.
Can anyone explain this to those of us who are neither black nor white, but part Asian, part European, and part something else?
Ditto.
We are at war and even the slightest hint of Islamic ways for the position of CIC is unthinkable. Thank you Jeff Head for asking all the right questions.
