Calling all fact-checkers!
The following is an e-mail received from a client. Since it’s tax time, I’m buried at my desk until 1am everynight – though I do sneak on for a few minutes in the evening to see if anything’s going on. 
Look into it….prove it right or wrong:
Very interesting and something that should
Be considered in your choice.
If you do not ever forward anything else,
please forward this to all your contacts….
this is very scary to think of what lies ahead
Of us here in our own United States …
better heed this and pray about it and share it.
We checked this out on ‘ snopes.com‘.
It is factual. (I checked anyway and some IS TRUE!)
Check for yourself.
Who is Barack Obama?
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 ATHEIST 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
the n married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL
Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family
relocate 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 that he is not a radical.
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 enroll ed 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.
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn
into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but
instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the
Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any
reverence for our flag.
While others place their hands over their
hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag
and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s
expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying
t he 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!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know.
Would you want this man leading our country?

obama is not a muslim… and islam is not terorist .
and i believe…obama is a good leader for america.
he has a good personality..!!!
pinksweetdah, with all do respect, I could care less what his religion is. My decision on who to support for president is not based on religion, gender or race. I base my decision on who will govern under the founding principles of this country. What he wants to do if he becomes president is a complete violation of the founding principles of this country. Having a good personality does not make a good leader
I agree Julius. But if it’s all the same to everyone else, why not a fine Jewish President before moving on to the Muslims?
BTW – if some of this information is wrong, I will gladly admit to it. But, it’s a lot of information to check….and I figure I’d pass some of it around to my blogging friends.
I’ll take the first one:
“Barack Hussein Obama was born in
Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein
Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM”
True: In fact, Barack Obama, Sr.’s (according to an article written) father converted to Islam from Christianity during WW1. and added “Hussein” to his name.

Oh, he has a good personality? The presidency is a popularity contest rather than an expression of someone who is actually qualified to do the job?
Give it a rest! Someone’s religion doesn’t matter a fig to me. Someone’s behavior and experience does. Also, someone’s wife is reflective on that, and Michelle Obama is not exactly warm, loving, and patriotic.
This email has been circulating for several months now. Ironically, if you check Snopes.com, as the email suggest, this very email is pointed out, point by point, to be 98% wrong. They put the “check snopes.com” part in, knowing most readers wouldn’t bother. Even O’Reilly has said on the air that this email is a bad joke meant to scare people. I know at one point people were wondering if Hillary’s team was behind it, but I think it most likely that it was just one of the thousands of email hoaxes we see every day, and this one just caught fire.
Thanks Mike.
Although, the facts about his grandfather and the man his mother married after the divorce, the school he went to, etc. I am seeing it is somewhat true.
Even if it were true. Liberals wouldn’t care. Being a minority is a plus for them as long as that minority is as Liberal as Barack.
barack obama…???????
huaaaa
i dont care…!!!!!!!
emang gue pikirin…..susah2 mikirin juga
gk akan ngikutin pemilihan disana…

kasian klo jika mereka mati nanti
blm menemukan hidayah dan sinar kehidupan…
dan belum mengenal Sang pengendali semesta alam…
bahkan mereka pun tidak mengenal siapa tuhan mereka….dan untuk apa mereka hidup…
kasiaannn..ya…!!!!!!!
