    Obama does have non american roots too!

    I think before you cut off your nose to spite your face Obama supporters, you should accept the facts. Facts don't lie....and as for the trinity church....muslims do belong and are active in the church.....if Obama has nothing to fear then he should come up with his birth certificate and baptism papers. Isn't that what presidents need to provide before taking the oath of office? Or are you yet again going to give him a pass on this requirement. Michigan has the largest Muslim population in the country and it was stripped of it's votes because the Democratic party did not want it to hold an early primary. Iowa where two mules and a donkey vote was given the preference....Obama spent more than two years setting up his naieve impressionable students to help him win the Iowa caucus. Why not Michigan, as Senator Levin asked? Michigan has the most diverse population of the country. I will tell Senator Levin and all who want the answer....it is because the press would have reported the voting statistics of the muslim population and Obama would be outed. Muslims are americans too! But his campaign does not want them. The Obama campaign up until the sunday night incident in Michigan has been able to avoid the issue....but you have to be deaf, dumb, and blind, to ignore it any further...these were american muslims who are working for the same ideals we americans share.I hope you are not too closed minded to view it!
