Me: If his mother married two Muslim men and Obama is hiding his Muslim background, that is legitimate news.
You: It wouldn't be news to those who bother to read post #70.
I have been in contact with several Jewish voters in Illinois and, despite the newspaper article you cite, Obama's Muslim background is NOT well known. It makes them uncomfortable when they hear about it.

Me: There is a world of difference between having a Muslim background and trying to hide a Muslim background. Since he hasn't tried to hide it (he talks about it in the newspaper stories about his background, not to mention in his own book), there's no news there. I would hazard a guess that 90% of people who hear his name think he is Muslim anyway (which he isn't). There are a thousand legitimate reasons to oppose Obama and support Keyes, but this isn't one of them.
