    Is the whole Rezko thingy just "another story"?

    Nobody's really saying that he's a muslim anymore. That's sooo 5 months ago.

    The only real reason that anybody said that in the first place is because he calimed that his "world experience" will make him more able to deal with the middle east. The question is, what do you know about muslims that will make you better at dealing with them? So the question was: were you one? Are you one. I forgive the question because it's vaild. This guy fell out of the sky and were not allowed to question his background? He does come from a muslim family. Fact. So why not speculate?

    Since then most right wingger types aren't talking about him being a muslim anymore. This whole line of thinking is smoke and mirrors, and it's being done by the Ob campain to Ob fuscate. They cast any right wing criticsim of him as just more of the same question. Which isn't what the right is doing, not at all.

    The questions being asked now are more along the lines of: how deep does this Rezko thing go?

    How bad is Obama's grasp on history, really? Is he really that stupid?

    http://mendingtime.blogspot.com/2008/05/obamas-flawed-grasp-of-history.html

    Both of these are plenty to talk about, and by the way perfectly valid. I don't know how Salon, the MSM and slate sleep at night while avoiding these 2 topics.

    Obama is an empty suit, and he's corrupt. Hope? Change?

    Please.
