    obama muslim and other stupidities

    What do you expect from a population that is more interested in what a candidate has done than what he might be able to accomplish? How can anyone expect any show of intelligence from a pop that fears and carps mightily about govt interference yet nothing of demanding govt relief when hard times come. Talk about ignorance. In a land where teachers are paid little better than Micky D. fryboys is it reasonable to expect an educated population that can see or want to see outside their own neighborhood?

    If Obama was Muslim or Druid or Wiccan should it really matter? Is the people faith so fragile it cannot stand up without disparaging another?

    Obviously to be a politician in America it is necessary to appear in public with either a cross or star peeping out from between ones buttocks!
