JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Allegations that Sen. Barack Obama was educated in a radical Muslim school known as a "madrassa" are not accurate, according to CNN reporting. Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its Web site last week that associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, had unearthed information the Illinois Democrat and likely presidential candidate attended a Muslim religious school known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam.
You can bet whatever skeletons this guy has hanging in his closet, Hellary will expose. Repubs need not do anything.
Fat into the fire, looks like.
Interesting that it took so long for this.
"said the spokesman, Sutopo, who goes by only one name"
Like Cher, Bono, Madonna, and Elvis?
It sure took them long enough to dig up their pack of lies.
Perhaps but Hillary's hands remain "clean" while Republicans are smeared and against the Zogbyism continues against the Swift Boat Veterans.
The objective of tainting conservative critics remains.
There won't be blowback on the Democrats as they throw mud at each other.
Well, Hillary, where do we go from here? Try to dig up something else. Hopefully you and Barak Hussein Obama will destroy each other before the first Primary or caucus.
It didn`t take long. She just announced she was running this week, and immediately after this story comes out of Obama attending this school. Gee, what a coincidence.
Mohammedans actually use only one name. The name we take as the surname is generally the father's given name. Some, usually the ones from more prominent families use thei father's name and add to it the grandfather's name and then perhaps the place of birth or the famiy center.A formal name may be quite lengthy and be composed of a number of such elements. It's like Mohammed son of Mohammed son of Mohammed from Cleveland.
Most Indonesians go by one name.
Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering — Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.
"Senator Obama has never been a Muslim," Gibbs said
Reminds me of John Kerry's statement in the Congressional Record claiming Irish heritage and then denying that it was anything he'd said (he blamed it on his staff). Always is someone else's fault that the record shows these things.
No matter how much he tries to dance out of this one, he is not going to be able to.
Good thing Obama was able to get his history changed so quickly. It might have been embarassing to find out that he did go to a Muslim school, but through quick thinking he was able to get that school changed into a public school... in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, 45 years ago.
What a good point. It would be interesting to see how many other public schools were in that country 45 years ago. My bet: None.
Bad example to pick...
The Swift Boat Veterans for TRUTH, had the goods on Kerry.
They were EYE WITNESSES....one even served on Kerry's boat.
They were NOT unsubstantiated..
Kerry could have attempted to prove his false version of events by simply signing his SF-180.... HE REFUSED.
Semper Fi
Left handed Presidents...
James A. Garfield
Herbert Hoover
Harry S. Truman
Gerald Ford
Ronald Reagan
George Bush
Bill Clinton
