Now The Greek incorporates the false premise that Obama is Muslim into a statement about how his (non-existent) Islamic beliefs might affect his decision making. You are looking at a sneak preview of how the Rush-bots will deal with Obama if he becomes the candidate. Forget the issues, dude is an islamofacist!!!!
Tiny Tim please read my statement more closely before making such assumptions.

For the record, In my Statement I cleary said 'If he has Islamic Beliefs". I do not know if he does one way or another and , if he does, I do not necessarily believe his beliefs would negatively effect his ability to lead this country. I do believe, however, that anyones religious beliefs would have an influence on how they approached the many various problems the next President may face. In fact, undertanding of the Islamic beliefs may be a positive thing in helping to forge Foreign Policy.

My cnocern with Obama remains the same concern I have with many of the other presidential candidates, lack of leadership experience
