An autobiography in which you admit to smoking pot isn't exactly hiding anything, and the way smearmongers do their nasty thing is to only speak of the bad things, and ignore the change or the mitigating factors, or they can always ignore the truth in favor of the slant. Like his middle name is Hussein. So of course people go off a bit on that, but is it seriously worth mentioning? And you can go off on the fact that his father is African, and his mother is American, and as I heard one pundit put it last night" He won't get the black vote, because hes not African American enough", just no pleasing some folks. We now have in office a man who has said he had a wild youth, and a long one since he only cleaned up his act when he was 40. So why the fuss when it comes out that others have done what most have tried at one time or another here? I just hate hysteria.

Fact is Obama comes from WEALTH. He grew up with servants, and a nanny. He lived a sheltered protected life that maybe 2% of us will ever know. He's really smart, well educated, and a good speaker. He just has NO leadership! This is nothing more than a Hillary/Bill Clinton ploy! She's looking to win the nomination and will have Obama as a running mate. It all started in 2004 when Clinton brought him to the Kerry DNC party when he one the parties nomination. Remember Obama is a 1st term senator, and in 2004 the Republican incumbent bowed out. They had to bring in Allan Keys From DC to go against him. It was a sure win for Obama. So he has never ran a real election campaign. The biggest factor is; it is 1 year before the primaries start, and he has dodged any hardball interviews. The latest is he dodged going to Carson city, where Clinton, Biden, Edwards, Richarson and other candidates are holding a conference debate. Obabma is showing no balls when it comes to competition. And if we have any kind of attack between now and Nov 2008, and its Muslim...He'll never be heard from again!

Anybody who is running for office these days better be prepared for a bunch of people digging through their past. If he's hiding something, it's bound to come out before long. Part of the dirty game of politics. You get in it, you better have a clean past and a strong stomach.
Left-wingers are just as good at smear campaigns as right-wingers.

People don't think that he is hiding something in fact they know he speaks whats on his mind. That scares them. The fact the only things the republican think tanks could come up with is that he is not black enough, he smokes, his middle name is Hussein, and he doesn't have much experience tells you how strong a candidate he will prove for the GOP. He speaks about all of these things himself and gives great explanations for them. The GOP has got only one choice left make a lot of noise with these things to have all their base turn out. There comments on Obama has nothing to do with him, and will do nothing to him, it is only to stir support for themselves. They don't even have any real candidates to date.

A first generation citizen from a Muslim dad.HMMM Middlename is Husein like his Dad. I don't need to read that book to understand that BS. Now you think everyone who doesn't want a Muslim President is a right winger. You are really untouched with the rest of the nation and including moderate Democrats and swing voters

Obama's name is the first thing that scares people. It simply "sounds" too Muslim for the likes of most Americans. AND then there were the false reports of his educational background. I understand that his book immunizes him against this type of harassment because he put his entire life on paper therefore giving no one any reason to doubt who he is or what he is all about, BUT too many people depend on the word of our media instead of on the facts.

Isn't that the truth, he seems real to me. He has done a lot of things in his life. But he seems to be out in the open about it. Repuglican are just trying to smear him, that is a tool they use, they actually fear him or they would not do it.
