There is nothing wrong with arguing that Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, or B-Ho for short, is the wrong man to be leading America at this point in our history due to his background. He is the son of a Muslim who attended Muslim religious school from the formative years of 6-12, and was enrolled as a Muslim at the school, although he denies that he was a Muslim. Fine. He also attended Friday prayers with his stepfather, would have studied Arabic and been taught Muslim tenets and Koranic recitations.

That doesn't make him a bad person, or even guarantee that he would be a President who would not have America's best interests at heart were he to be elected. But it is simply a fact that people need to think about while we are in the midst of a war on terror against Muslim fanatics. Should we be lead in that war by someone who, if not Muslim, is certainly very favorably disposed to them, far more than even al-Bush, the Saudi hand-holder.

So, stated in that light, the issue is legitimate and worthy of raising. It is as though in the midst of the war against Japan, we had made Daniel Inouye President. Now, he is a fine American, served in Europe with distinction, and although a liberal, is a nice guy. But would he have done what Harry Truman did in fighting that war? Would we want to have to worry about that? Do we want to worry that Obama will be quick on the draw, ruthless and relentless in defending America, against Muslim fanatics, even if we think he probably is not one himself?

I don't. American's might disagree. They should discuss it, rationally and will all the facts, and without being told they are racists for mentioning that this guy running for President is a Hussein. It is a relevant fact.

Yeah. That's the ticket. We just get average Americans to realize what Obama's middle name is and we have the election in the bank. /sarc

You should write this as a letter to the editor. See if the paper will print it.

We should test how much censoring of his bio will go on.
