Watch the clip, I know its a lib site but it's the only thing I could find with anything on it.  Barack Obama attended a Muslim school, now I personally have no problem with this, although I already disliked heavily.  Are you going to tell me the America populus feels comfortable with a black muslim as president?

Again, I could not care less but this is going to have a huge impact on Barack.

Settle down, DWTL, no need to get so aggressive so soon . . . Hillary's team will destroy Obama all by themselves.

It's not really getting exciting I'm simply saying that damages Obama and some people live in Fantasy Land where people don't care about race and creed

I don't, but then again I can't even vote

Are you going to tell me the America populus feels comfortable with a black muslim as president?

He is NOT a black Muslim.  He is a half-black Christian who joined his current church in the '80s who happened to go to a Muslim school when he was very young because his mother wanted to ensure that he could get the best education possible.  If that's a damning as you say, how about the fact that Bush was a drunken frat boy who snorted cocaine and was arrested for a DUI?  Evidently, the public doesn't care too much about what happened in candidates' childhoods.  Obama has been a Christian for more of his life than Bush.

Don't confuse him with facts and logic, Gabu.

His parents were atheists/agnostics if you want to attack him on anything you could say that he was raised in a "secularized and faithless childhood" or whatever. He did live in Indonesia for five years or so and has said that he attended Christian, Muslim, and expatriot schools in order to get the best education he could. He then came back to Hawaii and went to a private prep school before going to college.

He was Muslim until age 6, when his parents converted to Catholicism. I think people are perfectly capable of understanding that one has no choice in what faith one is born into.

Fact of the matter is the Obama hype has been created and fueled by the Hillary camp, who are determined to make the idea of her winning seem more reasonable. What's more unlikely than imagining Hillary Clinton becoming president? Talking about a black first-term Senator named Barack Hussein Obama winning the presidency. The Obama Hype also helped cool the momentum that Al Gore was gaining earlier in the year.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Hillary Clinton will never be elected president. However, the only person capable of defeating Hillary Clinton for the nomination is Al Gore. Therefore, the only Democrat capable of winning the presidency in 2008 is Al Gore.

Anybody who wants to see a Democrat win the White House in 2008 ought to support Al Gore.

Usually a candidate has to run to win.

He's releasing a book in May. He has not gone on a national program and stated there is absolutely no chance of him running. In fact, there are still whispers that he's privately reaching out to big shots in the party to see what they think of him running again. It's quite clear Gore is still mulling whether or not to run.

Were that the case, maybe, but Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ, which I understand is a mainline Protestant denomination

To say Obama is a Muslim is as inaccurate as anyone saying Bobby Jindal is a Hindu, since Jindal is a Roman Catholic

I never said he would get the GOP nomination, I just said that I would support him. I admit that he can't win the nomination, but that doesn't mean I support him any less.

Wrong, he was never a Muslim.

His mother remarried an Indonesian and they lived in Indonesia for 2 or 3 years. Obama went to a Muslim school for a short time  but was never Muslim himself.

It doesn't matter; the 2008 election will be a referendum on his eight years.

Obviously you are unfamiliar with my opinions I have stated numerous times I do not like Mitt Romney and don't think he has a good chance at winning.

On the contrary, you made a map where Romney was the VP and you had him defeating a ticket made up of two Christians - Obama and Richardson. Obviously you must think there is something very special about Romney. Either that, or you are extremely ignorant of the fact that Americans only have a slightly better opinion of Mormonism than they do of Islam.
