"Obama feels like a closet muslim"

I found this short story that was published yesterday about the general election in USA in a Swedish newspaper.Made a translation of this story to English.It`s really sad that some people still believes that Obama is a muslim :-(

AMERICAN VOICES

"Obama feels like a closet muslim"

Jeff Stonestreet, 61, homeless, unemployed, Statesville, North Carolina.

-My Parents raised me to think that it`s a civil obligation to vote, so I have always done that.I will vote for McCain because Obama feels like a closet muslim.

-It`s hard to find a job now and it doesn`t help that you live at a shelter.I have two CV: one that explains that I`m smart and educated, and another that I`m not so smart so I can get an easy job.I apply 8-10 jobs in a month and it`s difficult to keep your spirit high.I have lived at the shelter for 18 months.At least I have roof over the head.

-It may sound strange, but I still think that USA is a country with no boundaries(many opportunities).

1. Sad, indeed.

For some reason, though, I'm not surprised.

I'm fascinated by that "feels like a closet Muslim" statement; how does this voter know what's going-on inside of Obama's head? :P

3. We need a designated section for these BS posts people drag in..

Seriously.

A lot of times, well-meaning DU'ers drag in these ludicrous stories written by off-the-wall sources and those posts unfortunately wind up taking over this section.

Instead ---

I say the Moderators establish a "Litterbox" section.

We can just toss all of the misfit articles into one single place!!!

C'mon Mods, .... let's do it!

7. When was

Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 04:56 AM by MichaelHarris

the last time he squeezed a Muslim? He should really just focus on that second CV, the one that says he not so smart.

What was his last statement? Oh yeah, "It may sound strange, but I still think that USA is a country with no boundaries(many opportunities)." Well unless you're a Muslim.

9. Yet another chicken convinced that the Colonel is on his side

while ignoring the guy cutting an escape route through the fence.

I believe it was Fats Domino who said that there are none so blind as those who will not see.

18. Your translation is probably ok

it's just an ambiguity of the English language that means Obama could be either the subject or object of the headline sentence.

17. people are incredibly brainwashed. Closet racism lives in people I never realized

it lived in. To say I'm heartbroken and disappointed is an understatement.
