Excuse me, but since we are in an ideological and well as a
literal war against Islamic extremest, isn't any association
Obama may have had with Islam very much in our favor? Isn't
this a good thing? 

I remember when they were having hearings to decide who was
going to run 'the war on terror'. One of the Congressmen
asked a candidate what the difference was between Shite 
and Suni. Of course, the person didn't know, and I don't
know either, but I'm not apply to be the head of the group
that is going to make war and hopefully peace with these
people. 

Likely Obama's past and his understanding of these people,
their religion, and their culture will be much to our
advantage. 

I think it's time we had a President who knows a little more
than beer, barbecue, and good ol' boys. 

But then, that's just me.
