oh thanks for enlightening me, i guess i'd better "open my eyes to the truth" or whatever.
ironically, i agree with you. anyone who's made it this far in a presidential race has only gotten there by being a ruthless, relentless asshole that will stomp on anyone who threatens their ambitions. This includes Obama, Clinton, McCain, and the other candidates that dropped out some months ago. the primary motivation for someone to be President is insatiable hunger for power. greed for money is not very applicable for these people. they're all already millionaires, and Congress wouldn't let them pass any "$100 billion bonus for the president" emergency act or anything. like having children, being president is all about your legacy, instilling your values in people and trying to protect what you think are your or the nation's best interests, as deranged as those decisions may sometimes be.
judging by your pictures and comments, you're one of the hundreds of millions of "average americans", who gets most of their political "news" (which is mostly rumors rampant with unchecked facts) from chain emails from friends with similar political beliefs.
you seem to believe Obama is a Muslim.
1. this is not true.
2. if it were, so what? you've clearly never opened a Koran or done independent research to try to understand these people. you've made up your mind that Muslims hate your way of life and reciprocate in kind. you understand nothing of Islam and equate all Muslims with terrorists.
you judge people by their names, and i shouldn't have to lecture you on how unbelievably superficial and ridiculous this is. yeah, his first name rhymes with "Iraq", his middle name is "Hussein" and his last name is one letter away from "Osama". a lesson in Muslim names: the Muslim world is generally very uncreative with names. there are only a few names that they basically give to everyone, and then they have to make the next generations' names longer and longer to keep them unique. hence, why most Muslims have at least 4 names. also, "Hussein" is so common that it's equivalent to the Western "Smith".
in some other universe, you might convince me of something by simply telling me "this is what i think, and you must agree with me. if you don't, you're WRONG!" but not in this one.
