jonw1115,
quite sure it's coming from the GOPs. Painting the Democrats as Party that allows minorities to stick in and express their views regardless to National Security.

Nowadays, Islam is not very well reputed as a religion in the American media. In other words, CNN is tagging Obama as a 'threat to a traditionally-christian country'.

Can you see the link now ?

grazinggoat,

Please notice the advertising links for Obama next to this article. You can't tell me he isn't getting some good press for this. I am sure his chances for the presidency are not hurt anymore than before this blunder. At least Kerry didn't tell do this, no telling where that would have went!

This is a great error. Obama is running into big trouble because of some media players who are trying to portray him as a terrorist because of the muslim tradition of his Kenyan African roots. This joke is not funny, and quite detrimental to Obama's fair running to Democrat's Leadership. It's good to know that a huge chunk of the African-Americans ascendants (First slaves brought to America by Europeans) belonged to the Muslim faith.

I've heard that the people in IL have often said
"Where's Obama".

Oh please! This is free press for Obama. It makes you wonder if it were a mistake at all. Anything to get your name out there!
