    Interesting

    This is a blog not the news, although the two are easy to confuse.

    As for the question of one commenter, is being a member of Rev. Wright's constroversial racist church better than being a main stream Muslim? I think being a main stream muslim is actually more sincere. They are Americans, a very few are terrorist...a very few. Obama's Dad, step-dad and syblings are Muslim, why is he denouncing them when not saying he was wrong to listen to the rhetoric for 20 plus years at a anti-semitic and racist church? I think the man does protest to much.

    He even gets all pissy when someone quotes his books or uses his middle name. If he were truly a uniter he would embrace everyone, not just a few.
