denounced islam , all the flag issues and the fact he aadmitted to moving to chicago to be closer to faracon, seems to me he just wants to be more widely accepted , and being a black muslim he knows he hasn't a chance to get elected, but being a black man he does .
has this crossed anyone elses mind ?

Here's something that people are too ignorant to realize...
Once, Barrack Hussein Obama at some Democratic convention or something, he was caught on camera, NOT placing his hand on his heart as everybody else was doing.
It's not the name and his religion that strikes me. It's his lack of patriotism for the United States of America. It's funny how Independence was so important so long ago. Now, we're so infatuated with what America offers for them. That's the big picture here: a democracy is ruled by the people. Anybody in there right mind could see that the majority of citizens of America are becoming selfish ignorant fools that only would only defend what would threaten their sought after sodomistic society. Like abortion. Making stupid excuses like "We have a right to our own body". What they're really saying is: "We can't get rid of abortion, otherwise we can't have sex all the time and get rid of our babies." I think either Hillary Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obama would be a poor choice for America. Unfortunately, both have a very good chance to.

What has crossed my mind is the racism and hatred that is directed towards this man.
First I could care less if he denounced Islam or not. Personally I think it is time we get rid of the choke hold radical Christians have on the government. Islam is not some sort of satanic cult. It is a main stream and peaceful religion. Unfortunately, Islam (like all major religions) is used an excuse by some radicals that commit heinous acts. If you are going to damn all Muslims for the acts of a few then you need to damn all Christians for the acts of those that bomb abortion clinics in the name of Christ.
Here is an idea that should not (but sadly is) be foreign to anyone: why don't we judge him by his actions and not the color of his skin or by the religion of his father?
By the way, he identifies himself as a member of the United Church of Christ.
"why does he still use his Muslim name then?" - It's not his Muslim name, it's his name. It is the name he was born with. Have we become so xenophobic we can't stand people just because of their names now? Shameful.

I feel many people are still racist to one degree or another. Trying to use flag pins, inexperience etc. tend to be cover -ups.
I'm a white male that wants Washington to change. Make lobbying illegal , stop illegal immigration, change the tone and get rid of slash and trash politics.
Personally I think Joe Biden would be the best but I'm willing to listen to Barrack or anyone that can do the job and make a difference.

Obama is an empty suit. He totally lacks the experience (both in job and campaigning) to win a Presidential race. He will be out of the race by March, April at the latest. His popularity has been largely built by the media. Why they are doing it is a good question. Get the country use to seeing a Black candidate? Make the race interesting as the candidates have started so early? Get a little bit of hostility early with Hillary? The media has been giving more coverage, and more favorable coverage to the Democrat Candidates than the Republicans. Any politician can tell you name recognition is huge in an election. Most people would be hard pressed to name many of the Reps, but can name at least 3-4 Dems.
It will be interesting to see if the country will let the Iowa Caucuses tell them who the Democrat Nominee will be. They haven't done such a swell job lately.

I believe he is Barack Hussein Obama. That might sound
like a simple proposition, but the mainstream media cannot
seem to accept this as his name. I hear Hillary Rodham Clinton over and over, but I never, ever hear HUSSEIN.
Let me tell you, he better get used to it, because it is going to be on millions of bumper stickers if he gets nominated.

Let's see, you don't capitalize his first name, and you include his middle name so people associate him with Saddam Hussein (which is bogus, since, not every many named "Tim" blows up buildings, do they?).
So let's see. You assume he's Muslim, because sub-human morons assume everyone who's Muslim is a murdered.
Wait, could you possibly be a sub-human, hate-filled, troll with a little, tiny wee-wee and no brain at all?
"I believe we've got a winner!!!!!!"
No, it never ocurred to me. After all, I'm not a sub-human, hate-filled, moronic troll.
Next!

So what if he is muslim?! So what if he is black?!
It sounds like you are a bit insecure with different people than your "own"... but let me tell ya, it takes ALL races, ALL religion to make up America. Thats what makes this country great, we are not all the same.

His middle name is Muslim. What other name is he supposed to use?
What if there was a great candidate whose middle name was Adolf? Does that mean we shouldn't vote for him because his middle name is associated with Nazism? I'd like to think people are more intelligent than that!

Names, religions and Race mean nothing to me.
If I believed Obama was the right man for the job, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
HE ISN'T. He ignores his constituents, the people who put him in office.
Ignoring the feelings of Illinois is one thing. Ignoring the ENTIRE country is another.

I think it's very sad that this man doesn't stand a chance, simply because of his ethnicity. How pathetic is it that so many people out there just can't see past that and look at some REAL issues??
