Sorry Gugi, I don't quite get this ---

Me either. Most Americans don't know their Constitution.

No -- I meant I couldn't piece it together grammatically --- I wanted to to get what gugi was saying but couldn't ----

Edit: Sorry gugi, I reread it and my brain must have been playing tricks on me ---- it makes sense.

" Why would an American vote for a man named Barack Hussein Obama?
Check that middle name if the first and last ones don't make you think."


What a sad commentary that someone would think that a person's middle name is somehow relevant. Funny but I don't seem to recall any references to John McCain's middle name. Perhaps because it's totally irrelevant to John McCain's credentials to be the next president. Sadly, some folks around here can't seem to differentiate a United States senator from a dead Iraqi dictator. I can make the distinction, can't you?
One final note: George Lincoln Rockwell was the head of the American Nazi Party. You know, "George" (as in George Washington) "Lincoln" (as in Abraham Lincoln) "Rockwell" (as in Norman Rockwell) . Guess these former presidents and painter of Americana were Nazis, eh?

Plus I think having spent time in a muslim country is a good thing at this time. It would certainly be better than a secretary of state who has studied Russia extensively.

I don't know, I think a good knowledge of Russia will be important for a long time coming -- something tells me things are stirring in that part of the world.

Very true, though I don't feel Condi's handled Russia well either.

Excuse my sarcasm, but seeing this pop up here few times over the last month was a bit too much for me. What I mean is that the constitution of the United States, explicitly sets up a secular federation, in which a person's religion is irrelevant to any electable position.

I doubt that Obama is muslim, as he has explicitly said that he is Christian, yet this is really besides the point. It shouldn't really matter as long as people care about electing a qualified president, not qualified religious leader. There are plenty of theocratic countries in the world if one desires to live in such.

That's all I meant. Again I am sorry if my reaction was a bit too much.

It was nicer than the way I worded mine

I do understand the secular federation, but assuming this is irrelevant, our present president has brought his christian beliefs to the forefront of his political leadership. As far as Obama is concerned, I see that certain news forums and networks are starting to look into his muslim past. It's also no surprise that he is claiming to be christian at this time. Aside from all this, his plans will not help our economy. It will only hurt the country. We need tax cuts, that will keep more money in the hands of working people and give our economy a bit of a boost.
Anyway, this could go on and on and go no where. I believe the presidential selection has already been made for us.
