Settle down, DWTL, no need to get so aggressive so soon . . . Hillary's team will destroy Obama all by themselves.

It's not really getting exciting I'm simply saying that damages Obama and some people live in Fantasy Land where people don't care about race and creed



This coming from the delusional child who thinks that Mitt Romney can win.....

Obviously you are unfamiliar with my opinions I have stated numerous times I do not like Mitt Romney and don't think he has a good chance at winning.

On the contrary, you made a map where Romney was the VP and you had him defeating a ticket made up of two Christians - Obama and Richardson. Obviously you must think there is something very special about Romney. Either that, or you are extremely ignorant of the fact that Americans only have a slightly better opinion of Mormonism than they do of Islam.

One, I do not remember this at all my apoligies
Two, as you said it was VP not president
Three, since when are Mormons not Christians?

Mormons regard themselves as Christians, yes. The vast majority of mainline Christians, however, (Catholics, Protestants, etc) regard Mormonism as a sect/cult(mostly b/c the story that their version of the Bible is based on is so insanely ridiculous, IMO). Just as you said earlier when you were spouting the lie that Obama was once a muslim, it is the perception of the public has of the religion that counts. The difference is that Romney actualy is a Mormon, while Obama is not and never was a muslim.

Are you going to tell me the America populus feels comfortable with a black muslim as president?

He is NOT a black Muslim.  He is a half-black Christian who joined his current church in the '80s who happened to go to a Muslim school when he was very young because his mother wanted to ensure that he could get the best education possible.  If that's a damning as you say, how about the fact that Bush was a drunken frat boy who snorted cocaine and was arrested for a DUI?  Evidently, the public doesn't care too much about what happened in candidates' childhoods.  Obama has been a Christian for more of his life than Bush.

Childhood?!  Bush was a drunk well into his thirties... but then that just seems to strengthen the point.

Obama's back breaking straw is that he is a black running in AMerica.  His muslim connection is incidental.

News alert:  George W. Bush won't be on the ballot in 2008

If that's your response, you completely missed the point of my post.

DWTL is asserting that something that allegedly happened in Obama's childhood will make him unable to become elected president.  I was pointing out that Bush did all of those things and was elected president, thus disproving his assertion that the public fervently cares about what happened in politician's childhoods.
