    The problem with Obama is not the color of his skin

    I am a white female living in one of those small towns in North Carolina,and I can tell you that most people are more worried about Obamas Radical Anti-America,Anti-Christian associations.There's just to many to list but I will a few::

    Rev.Right,Father Pfleger,Louis Farrakhan,William Ayers,Jodie Evans,Medea Benjamin,Frank Marshall Davis,Otis Moss 111,Dr.Khalid-Al-Mansour,Hatem-EL-Hady,and then we wonder why Radical Muslim Countries keep endorsing Obama,this has never happened to an American running for President in our History.

    Countries like,Lybia,North Korea,Iran,and Hamas. We have to ask ourselves WHY DO THESE PEOPLE WANT THIS MAN TO BE OUR PRESIDENT? These Countries are our Enemies.
