He also mentioned that the most beautiful sound he has ever heard is the sound of Muslim prayer, and how if challenged - he would gladly side with Islam.
Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset"

interesting sound byte at like 5:12
Also, he claimed his grandfather liberated Auschwitz.
we're stuck with him for four years (obviously unless he gets assassinated).
Part of what this country was founded on is religious freedom. If you honestly care what religion he is, you're every bit as bad as the Muslim extremists. Anyone who honestly feels that every Muslim is a terrorist hell bent on Western destruction is an ignorant bigot. Personally, religion is one the last factors I look at when I view another human being.......

Stick to music. Money isn't a building. By your logic, either the poorest people are the FOUNDATION of our economy or we should start constructing our skyscraper in the MIDDLE, where the real foundation of our economy is. Either way your building analogy is pure FAIL. Musicians and/or stoners (both) and logic do not mix.I got news for you folks, small businesses have already been closing down left and right under Bush's tax program. One of my friends had a very successful small business that she built over the past six years from a kiosk in the mall by working 14 hour days six days a week. Her doors will close in the next few months and she has nothing to do with the housing market. I dare say that she's a hard working American who's doing everything she can to make her dream come true. She's a popular fixture in the local scene and on the side she does a tremendous amount for both live music and putting on live shows that kids under 18 can go to. She's had to take on a second job to pay for her health care, since she can't afford it herself anymore, and now that store is closing down. This woman does not live lavishly nor does she follow the typical debt model.
You know what would've helped her and countless other real small business owners? More of their own money in their pockets via Obama's proposed tax restructure. If you look at spending trends it's the middle class that keeps the retail industry afloat and when the middle class has more to spend, spend they do. I couldn't care less about some rich bitch needing to take one less trip to Italy this year because that doesn't do anything for local American economies. Look at it this way, do you start building a sky scraper from the foundation or from the roof? Why would you then try to build an economy starting at the roof? It makes no sense what-so-ever. So, putting it all together, I think Obama's economic plans have a real chance and since I don't wear a tin foil hat or live in a fantasy bubble of sunshine and lollipops I'm willing to give them a chance.
