Answer 1

He should run and I believe he will win..it will be the highest black voter turnout ever...but you know some issues are gonna come up with those voter boxes in the south, thats how we got that Devil in the White house now!!!

Answer 2

Honestly I dont know for sure, but his father is from Kenya I believe so he is probably christian, and the congressman elected this year was the first muslim so I am assuming no,

Answer 3

Don't be spreading lies about Hessian Obama the Right wants the Left to run someone that has no chance in hell of winning
and he has no chance

Answer 4

No he's Christian. He did attend both Muslim and catholic schools while growing up though.

Even though he isn't Muslim he still doesn't have a prayer of winning. His name is Obama Hussein Barrock for pete sakes.

Answer 5

his father was Muslim. he said he's a Christian, i believe. or it may have been Catholic.

he grew up mostly in Hawaii, mostly with his grandparents. i don't know how much influence his father had on him, if any. after his parents split up, his mother married someone else and had a daughter with him. i believe his stepfather is also Muslim, but he might be apostate. or he may not be.

Answer 6

Don't know what his faith is.
But if he was a Muslim, he wouldn't have been a coke-head.
But one thing for sure, he is a hypocrite.
Check what he says, against how he votes.
AND DON'T BELIEVE A THING HE SAYS.

Answer 7

Does it make a difference. A man of Islam is a man of Islam regardless of the circumstances.

Answer 8

Who cares? If I had a name similar to the most wanted terrorist of all time. I would change it in a jiffy. If he is a Christian he should profess his Christianity.

Answer 9

I read that his father was/is Muslim, but his mom was/is Christian. Hussein Obama claims that he's Christian.

Answer 10

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. of Alego, a village in Nyanza Province, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas.[3] His parents met while both were attending the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian foreign student, moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Four years later, Obama returned to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents.[4] He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, where he continued studies through high school and graduated in 1979.[5]

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama describes his experiences growing up in his mother's white American middle class family. His knowledge about his absent black Kenyan father came mainly through family stories and photographs. Of his early childhood, Obama wrote: "That my father looked nothing like the people around me—that he was black as pitch, my mother white as milk—barely registered in my mind."[6] As a young adult, he struggles to reconcile social perceptions of his multiracial heritage. Obama writes about smoking marijuana and trying cocaine during his teenage years to "push questions of who I was out of my mind".[7]

After high school, Obama studied for two years at Occidental College in California and then transferred to Columbia College in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations. After recieving his Bachelors of Arts degree in 1983, Obama worked for one year at Business International Corporation. In 1985, he moved to Chicago to direct a non-profit project assisting local churches to organize job training programs for residents of poor neighborhoods.[8][9]

Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. In February 1990, he gained national recognition for becoming the first African American to be elected president of the Harvard Law Review.[10][11] He obtained his Juris Doctor degree magna *** laude from Harvard in 1991.[9] On returning to Chicago, Obama directed a voter registration drive, then worked for the civil rights law firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.[9]
