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.
