Seeing this seems to be about who to vote for at the November election...if I were American, I would have voted Obama up until yesterday...now I find myself leaning back toward Hillary...

Do you mind if I ask why that is the case?? Just curious.

 Well...apparently there's a book that Obama wrote about his life. I haven't read it, but it seems parts of it have been sent via email to many people, and my parents managed to see part of it. My mum read it, and she tells me Obama seems to be quite racist, that he is a Muslim (not that I see anything wrong with that) and that he doesn't blame the Muslims for 9/11. My nana likes Obama, and she was quite put off that my mum told her about what she had read. If that is true...I don't think I'd want him in the White House. But then again, I haven't read these paragraphs from his book, eithor.

I dont remember seeing anything like that. He may have said something along the lines of the Muslims not being entirely responsible for 9/11 and that U.S. foreign policy played a role as well....Honestly im not sure if thats the case or not though. I cant ever remember him saying anything about the Muslim Extremists not being involved. And I believe he was born a Muslim, however he has been attending Reverend Wrights Church for over 20 years. So he is a Christian. I haven't seen anything racist from him. His Reverend made some remarks that SOME (not me) construe as racist. Obama denounced those remarks.

I thought he was a Christian, too. Hopefully someone here will know what book I refer to and help us out.

Proof please?? And no what his PASTOR said doesn't count. Last I checked his Pastor wasn't running for office. Interesting though...I didnt think the Muslim faith had PASTORS. I could have sworn that Pastors had to do with the Christian faith. Dont know where the anti-American proof is either. Again we arent talking about his Pastor, lets use our brains and realize who it is we are talking about here. Im also going to need proof as to how a vote for Obama is a vote for terrorism. You see he actually wants to get out of Iraq so that we CAN start fighting terrorism like we originally were.
