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.

So is he a natural citizen? Or naturalized?
Well, it certainly didn't take long for Senator Clinton to start trying to dig up dirt on her opponents, and then leak it to the media.
"Obama is as solid as a rock, he can take heat on any issue, but his ears are verboten."
What are you trying to tell me? That he is a rock with ears?
I have not heard of any Muzzles condemning Borat Osama for "leaving" Islam. This would indicate that he hasn't really left and is just pretending to be a Christian. It's OK to do that to advance Islam.
This should be good.
And when it comes to "killing" off opponents, my money is on the Clintons every time. Osama Obama better watch his back at Rat conclaves.
"Barack's ancestors are from Kenya, and Kenya is home to many elephants."
Kenya is also home of "Tusker" beer which shows an elephant on its label. Big bottles, dirt cheap and very good. Is that perhaps the reason that he is so sensitive about the size of his ears?
He was born in America to an American mother, which would make him a natural citizen.
Anyway, the Republican opponent had smoked marijuana as a young man or something, and the Carville's client had promised not to use it in the campaign. Wofford was behind by three or four points, and over the weekend his campaign released an attack ad with weird sitar music and sort of a hazy hue. It didn't actually mention the demon weed, but it didn't have to.
Then Carville held a press conference in which he spoke about how Wofford "was a man of honor, who keeps his promises, and has said that his opponents use of marijuana will not become a factor in this campaign. Marijuana will not be used as an issue." Or something to that effect. The race shifted over the weekend and they won. While the tactics are rather shifty I confess it made me laugh.
No, but is doesn't matter. He would make a great Democandidite! Long live Barrack Hussein for President!!!
"Sources close to the background check"
Is that what she'll be calling the FBI files she has?
If the muslims think that he deserves to die, then his election will unleash firestorms throughout the world towards anything American. His election would be a disaster before he even took the oath of office. The islamist mullahs will stir things up so bad that no one will be safe. The only way to avoid this is for him to say that he really is a muslim before the mullahs get started.
Prolly, in a PC way...

Perhaps it is; it would also be interesting to find out if he still drinks alcoholic beverages, or if he eats pork. I refuse to fork over a cent to buy his autobiography.
Re#73 However they react, it would not be rational...
I was actually hoping this would wait until early next year. Looks like she's out to quash any momentum other candidates would gain in that time.
Meanwhile, what can she tell us about Sandy Burger? Surely Billy let her in on the office details.
Not that I have any objection to the socialist candidates tearing each other down, but this is really a non-issue. The kid was hauled off to a mostly Muslim country as a preschooler, went to both Catholic and Muslim schools there, and was hauled home to Hawaii before puberty. The current crop of Saudi-funded extremism-promoting Wahhabist madrassahs in other countries are a pretty recent development. Even now, most of the parents who send their kids to madrassahs are doing so just because it's the only place that charges little or nothing and will teach your kid how to read and do basic arithmetic (things which many of the parents of current-day madrassah attendees can't do themselves). The sort of madrassahs which are now closely associated with extremism and terrorism aren't getting their students as transfers from local Catholic schools.
"I'm surprised Obama is 45. From his looks, I guessed he was in his early 30s."
And I guessed he could dance and play basketball, but they just jump up and down in Kenya and Oprah has yet to build a basketball court over there. Guess we're both wrong.
