Barack Obama, the junior US Senator from Illinois and possible Democratic candidate for president, has not been forthcoming about his Muslim past, according to Insight magazine. The magazine cites sources within the camp of Hillary Clinton. A madrassa is an Islamic religious school. Some of these schools have been accused of fostering anti-western sentiment in recent years.

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.

Obama is the early and clear challenger to Clinton's bid for the presidency. This is an attempt by the Clinton camp to tie Obama to madrassas, and by association, terrorism. This will prove to be a very messy campaign, it seems.

The problem is, the Clinton's seem to be immune to ramifications from their past.


This is true, but Here is a site where they have some of the Clinton's questionable dealings, if your interested.

If her campaign is going to be a smear campaign, she's not choosing wisely.

I hate when politicians use these tactics, everybody's beliefs, morals, and personalities change as they mature. Politicians should be judged on their accomplishments, their goals, and their vision on the way they think the government can be changed/run for the better of the whole country.

How does that saying go about casting stones again?

i think more people are tired of the clinton bs than are gullible enough to fall for the obama osama crap. look at his illinois campaign....i seriously doubt that you are going to see tit for tat, and that will work to his advantage. many many people on both sides of the aisle are threatened by this man, because of his rapid rise to power....and they will all most likely use the muslim card....and it's going to bite them in the rear.

has anyone here actually read up on this man? i have always leaned conservative, but i vote my conscience. this man's ideals are above and beyond in my opinion. he actually wants to make a difference...and he keeps his campaign promises. when was the last time you saw a politician on either side of the aisle keep his or her campaign promises?

from one of obama's speaches:

source
The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.


the man is like a breath of fresh air. hillary should be very afraid because she has nothing to offer the country next to him....except her habitual lies.
