What's wrong in the picture showing Obama in Africa?
Of course, it is senseless to publish it now! Why didn't the Hillary team raise objections in 2006 when Obama visited Africa?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas .
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equevelancy to our Bible, but very different beliefs).
Would you want this man leading our country?

I would be improper, however wasn't it the Chinese the introduced us the Compass? Block Printing? Paper Money? Gunpowder? All this two,000 years earlier than the pyramids had been born. It's approximately time we quit pointing arms. Egypt had many slaves to construct them Pyramids and I wager they had been white. I additionally wager they had been only a prejudice as a few white persons too. But you realize what this spaceship we're on is revolving across the Sun. With all people on it. Someday after we are all combined in combination within the significant smelting pot. It ain't gonna topic what are ancestors did then. It particularly concerns what we do now.

There is nothing wrong if people do not know the meaning of the traditional cloth he wore. Most people would not wear another religion's cloth if they are from a different religion. But some would do so not because they believe in the religion or wish to convert to it. Hillary and her team did not raise the objections because neither she or you Americans knew then that there would be someone call Obama who would be running for President.

It was Keith Ellison that swore in using the Quran, not Obama, just a little fact check for you there. Countless politicians have visited Islamic nations wearing traditional clothing, it's what politicians do. Hillary Clinton has done so on numerous occasions upon visiting the Middle East. Also, most African Americans could trace their religious heritage to either Islam or to Orthodox Christianity (as bad), so if they all kept their real surnames they would all have Muslim-sounding names, instead of the English names given to their families by the White slave-traders. One more point: What exactly has our Bible-thumping born again Christian president done for us that is so great? It's only being construed as contoversial because Clinton's hopes are quickly fading, and they are attempting to capitalize on the ignorance of many Americans.

The picture is irrelevant - I wouldn't want that man leading our country even if he was really Christian or white or whatever.
He could be Jesus himself I wouldn't vote for him. His plans are weak, he has no direction, no real experience (heck, even one of his cronies couldn't tell a reporter what he'd done, seen the video?) he's running on an empty-headed 'feel good' campaign with no true message but 'hope!', he'll spend four years doing jack squat when we NEED someone who will start FIXING this mess, not sit back and gloat about being the first black president.
I hate him, yeah, but it's because he has NO good reason to be President. It seems to me he's only doing it for the sake of being the first black president. And that is not a reason to elect someone.
Face it: pictures, faith, background aside, he's a celebrity. An empty-headed, bigmouthed, ignorant celebrity. If he becomes elected, we'll be in for another four years of Bush - this time, with a big happy smiley face over all the issues and good ol' Barack running this mess further into the ground.

Because a sensible politician would never say, "Don't visit that country on a peace mission; they're full of Muslims!" That would definitely not bode well on their "equality for all" political platform.
I assume you're referring to the photograph where he is wearing the traditional attire of the religion -- that's something all politicians do when visiting a foreign nation, if asked. He was showing that he's not afraid of other religions. So why is everyone else afraid of them?

Yes, Obama went to a madrassa for a couple of years. Who better to know exactly what they are teaching there. And if you believe no one ever leaves the religion of their childhood, spend a little time in R&S. And it wasn't Obama who took the oath on the Koran, it was a different congressman who is an acknowledged Muslim.
But to the original question, I haven't seen the picture, but what does it matter? We just got a whole lot of pictures with George Bush there. Does that mean he's a closet Muslim?

Poker, well over 50% of your story is false. True he was in Indonesia and went to Catholic and Muslim schools. Almost all the rest is super embellisment, and downright falsehood.
I'm not necessarily going to vote for Barack, but this is pretty close to slander. Read Snopes to see their breakdown. Remember, in the Christian and Jewish scriptures there's a caveat about "bearing false witnesses". You can come up with a hundred legitimate reasons why not to vote for him. To me, you just don't like him, is a legitimate reason. Saying he's a Muslim insurgent ain't however.

Obamamamma is a Socialist and no matter where he has visited or what he says can change what he "IS"

Because we have to have a valid reason to hate him, and not have it look like we're racist folks for not wanting him president
