Barack Obama Doesn’t Like Muslim People
But for Obama, the old-fashioned image-making contrasts with his promise to transcend identity politics and to embrace all elements of America. The incidents in Michigan, which has one of the largest Arab and Muslim populations in the country, also raise an aspect of his campaign that sometimes rubs Muslims the wrong way: The candidate has vigorously denied a false, viral rumor that he himself is Muslim. But the denials seem to some at times to imply that there is something wrong with the faith, though Obama occasionally adds that he means no disrespect to Islam.
The volunteer “explained to me that because of the political climate and what’s going on in the world and what’s going on with Muslim Americans, it’s not good for [Aref] to be seen on TV or associated with Obama,” said Koussan, who is a law student at Wayne State University.

In keeping with the Obamarama theme - This morning there is just one more instance of Obama willing to say anything to get elected, and not being held accountable for promises or pledges that he makes. Be honest, if Obama had an R behind his name, this story would be shouted from the rooftops. As we have seen with his church (I can not disown Rev. Wright)loyalty and honor mean little to this pentultimate politician. McCain is no saint but if I were supporting Obama - I would be getting a little tired of being pandered to. Being everything to all people is not a leader - it is called being a politician, subject to the whims and desires of his party and supporters. Trust me, if something terrible came out about Michelle - she would be gone in a week. Damn, I miss Hillary - at least we knew she was slimy - and the press realized they didn’t need her anymore. How long until they realize that about Obama?
Obama to Break Promise, Opt Out of Public Financing for General Election
It looks like a promise for Obama lasts about 6 months
In November 2007, Obama answered “Yes” to Common Cause when asked “If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?”
