Obama is the son of a non-religious white American mother and a Muslim-turned-Atheist Kenyan father. Obama himself is therefore half black. He is a member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.’s Trinity United Church of Christ, which has been criticized for being Afrocentric, but I won’t get into that. (I’m talking politics and religion here. I need to be careful not to lose the support of my thousands, if not millions, of dedicated bloggers.)
But I bring up Obama’s religion because of an e-mail my mother received. It goes like this:
This is very interesting – please take a few moments and read it.
Who is Barack Obama?
Something that should be considered when you make your choice.
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all
your contacts…it is very scary to think of what could lie ahead for us
here in our own United States…better heed this and pray about it and share it.We checked this out on “snopes.com“. It is factual. Check for yourself.
Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white Athiest from
Wichita, Kansas.Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school.”Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical.
Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son’s education.Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.Wahabism is the RADICAL ISLAMIC teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their ands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential
candidacy.The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level – through the
President of the United States, one of their own!!!!Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!
If you actually take the time to check snopes.com, the site referenced in the e-mail and the sole basis of the e-mail’s factuality, you will see that not even THEY are calling this factual.
But really, this is the kind of BS that is going to happen during a presidential race, especially for a candidate who is of partial Muslim heritage and has the name Obama. Honestly, that is a really unfortunate last name for 2008.
I am actually pleasantly surprised that Obama is doing so well in the polls. Racism does still exist amongst the idiots of America. Have you ever read viewer comments on sites like YouTube or eBaums World? You’d be surprised how many times the n-word is still used in a racist and not “What’s up, my nig?” manner. But Obama’s success shows that America truly has come a long way since the Civil Rights movement.
It would help the man’s cause, though, if he would put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.
Obama claims he was taught to hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge, not the National Anthem. But come on – you’re running for president, you’re not at a baseball game.
As I reprimand Barack Obama, a sense of regret comes over me. Saying anything negative about him makes me feel as if I am insulting God.
Barack Obama has such a dignified disposition. It’s in his calm facial expression, his bold hand gestures, and the deep baritone of his voice. When I observe him, I sense confidence, passion, and comfort. Oh look at me, I’m blushing.
I feel as if everything Obama says is coming straight from God by way of thin light-skinned Kenyan. I’ll believe anything he says. And I think that this is why America has shown him such great support. It’s why everyone can relate to Obama Girl.
