Then when it suits him he turns to his black and muslim roots to proclaim his expertise with international issues>>>>





That is an extremely offensive statement that perpetuates the lie that Obama is a muslim or a ‘closet muslim’. Obama is a Christian. He is simply stating that his experience of diverse cultures from up close gives him a perspective that Clinton and McCain lack. You can disagree with this if you want but don’t go spreading lies.

Incidentally the editor-in-chief of Newsweek wrote an op-ed several months ago basically agreeing with Obama’s claim that someone who has seen the US ‘from the outside’ has an intrinsic advantage in international affairs. This is also one of the reasons why a lot of American companies with large international exposure have appointed CEOs who grew up in foreign countries.
