Part of old post:
I found something strange, but don’t know if it’s important or not. Barack is the ANGLICIZED, (WHITE,) version of Barak. obama Sr. never used the name “Barack.” I found a government document he wrote after he had already gone back to Kenya. His name was BARAK, not Barack. Every article now written about him contains the Anglicized version of his name because that is the name Barack Obama GAVE HIMSELF. It was NOT the name his father used.
The meaning of the name Barack is Blessed-NOT TRUE
MUBARAK means blessed.
Note on this list the ONLY two people with the name Barack.

FAMOUS PERSONS

muslims are atheists. They do not believe in G-d PERIOD.
My daily prayer is that God would deliver America from the evil that afflicts her(Obama and his Administration), remove him and replace the Administration with godly men and women who once again could restore us as a nation under God.
Imam Obama, IMO, believes himself to be a God!
BS! The whole administraton his lies. A Muslim does not think it wrong to lie if it accomplishes their goal.
