The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to Jakarta in Indonesia where Obama’s mum, Ann Dunham, took him with husband number two, Lolo Soetoro, when he was six. His name then was Barry Soetoro, and he stayed until he was 10 years old.
“Barry was a Muslim. He went to the mosque,” revealed boyhood buddy Zulfin Adi. His primary school teacher said he was registered as a Muslim and so he attended Koranic religious class.
Americans have nightmares about fervent young men who grew up in Muslim religious schools. At the very least, and however unfairly, this is dynamite material for Republicans as new national opinion polls show Obama cutting Hillary Clinton’s lead to single digits.
Obama is hurriedly shifting ground. Now he WAS a Muslim; but never a “practising Muslim”.

And, yes, I do wonder – I wonder if any of it is true or not. I wonder if we, as Americans in a country created as ‘one nation under GOD’, are having the wool pulled over our eyes. I wonder which candidate has the best chance of making change for the better if elected. I wonder about alot of things, but I usually wonder along the analytical lines.
