Obama still "not black enough?"

- news link from compay, 9 months ago

Barack Obama has recently come under fire for not taking a stronger stance on the Jena 6 case. Complaining about Obama's lack of a strong public reaction against the racially-motivated imprisonments of 6 black teenagers in Louisiana, Jesse Jackson claimed Obama, whose mother is white, was "acting like he's white" and said that "if I were a candidate, I'd be all over Jena."

He was raised Muslim.




His Middle name is “Hussein”




9-11




Any questions for “President Hussein” ?

Obama’s father, who abandoned him when he was 2 years old, was a Muslim, and “Hussein” is one of the most common names given to boys in the Muslim world.




Obama went to a Muslim school as a child when he lived in Indonesia, which is not surprising seeing as it is officially a Muslim country. But Obama was raised Christian and is a Christian.




In any event, conflating true believers of Islam with terrorism is senseless. That’s like saying all Catholics are terrorists because the IRA killed a lot of protestants in Northern Ireland.
