For Obama, Being Muslim is No Longer a “Smear”

You remember the “Fight the Smears” website that was put together to help Ofail dupe the nation into electing him, right? The one were “smears” from concerned citizens were “debunked” with “facts”.
One of those “smears” was the statement that Obama’s father is a Muslim. Something that, if true, he should be proud to claim, since he’s such a multiculturalist. But on Fight the Smears, they instead wrote:
“Barack” is the candidate’s Kenyan father’s name; Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” is his grandfather’s name. Obama has described his father as atheist or agnostic.
But in a blog post from ABC News’s Jake Tapper, Tapper reports:
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father – obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”
In the past, the MSM also followed the campaign’s lead and reported that his Kenyan grandmother was a Christian.
Now we find out that his “Christian” grandmother will be making a The Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). The Hajj is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world and called “the fifth pillar of Islam” making it an obligation for every able-bodied Muslim to do in their life. However, it’s not exactly something “Christians” bend over backwards to do…
She just might be the first Christian to attend the Hajj in years.
