Anti-Obama e-mail making the rounds:
This arrived in my e-mail just now, from someone who I thought was smarter:

"Who is Barack Obama?

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 scarey 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. 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 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 fro m 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 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 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. 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 Allegience 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 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!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading
Our country?...... NOT ME!!!"

7. Newsweek: FACT CHECK Sliming Obama-Dueling chain e-mails - We find both are false.
FACT CHECK
Sliming Obama
Dueling chain e-mails claim he's a radical Muslim or a 'racist' Christian. Both can't be right. We find both are false.

13. My email was slightly different:
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, Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas, and Cthulhu, devourer of souls.

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. However, Lolo was quickly eaten by Cthulhu. His mother then married Zozosmom, a TELEMARKETER. But Zozosmom was quickly eaten by Cthulhu also.

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, with some time off for good behavior.

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.” He takes similar care to conceal the fact that he can hold his breath for a full half hour. When asked about this ability, he consistently denies it with an odd grin.

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 (the MUSLIM one, not the Elder One), 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. He did, however, exert some control over Pete Rose’s gambling practices.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. The two dated for several months before breaking up due to conflicts with paparazzi. Obama then 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. Wasabi is sometimes known as “Japanese Horseradish.” 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, with a side of WASABI.

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 bends over in a sort of farting pose. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.

The several brazillian Muslims across the globe 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!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!

19. Why do you feel it necessary to post this?
In the future, please don't. BTW, this has been posted at least a dozen times. It's a safe be when considering posting one of these vile pieces of crap, that it's already been posted.
