    If you're born in a military base it's same as US territory. That goes for any other military brat who's parent or parents are serving their country. As McCain's family has for generations. Meanwhile Barack's only had one American citizen as a parent. Barack lived in Indonesia as an Indonesian. His family wasn't stationed on a base. Barack went to muslim public shools where he was required to study the Koran. There are eye witnesses that saw young Barakc Hussien jr follow his step-father to mosque daily.
    Again there isn't written proof for Muslims like a baptism certificate that Christian have. The fact is his half-sister that was raised with Barack said that their family was muslim.
    Later as political cover Barack got baptized in his 20s. I'm, sure Muhammed Atta could have done the same, you can never tell if it's sincere when you're in your 20s. The motives are up for debate.

    OJ was never found guilty in the criminal trial it doesn't mean he didn't actually murder nicole. If you're a part of Al Quida, just because you didn't take part in 911 doesn't mean you don't share any blame either. The fact is Ayers was a top figure in the Weatherman, he went underground because he was wanted for his terrorist actions.

      JamesD, being born on a Milatary base is not the same as US territory. Miltary parents have to go through the same procedures for getting citizenship as any other US citizen that has a child in a foreign country. Obama also went to a Catholic school while in Indonesia, but he isn't catholic either. The "eye witnesses" said they heard that Obama going to a Mosque occaisionally with his step-father. Many Protestants do not get baptized until they are adults. Obama's half sister never said they were Muslim, in fact she is a Budhist. And she was also raised in Hawaii. Obama was baptized nine years before entering politics, so to say he was baptized as a political cover is WRONG. Unlike OJ, William Ayers was never even charged with a crime.

      I love a persion who thinks because a person who only has one parent has to be less patriotic because he happened to grow up outside the United States for a short period of time all of a sudden makes it impossible to be successful. Why is it that in a land that holds in our 1st amendment rights among the most important we have as citizens namely "freedom of religion" we still have those that refuse to understand there are other religions other than christianity in the world. I am a Christian baptized in a church and attended Sunday school my whole adolescent life. If Barack studied in Indonesia he really had no choice but to go to "muslim public school and study the koran"...thats all they have for the public. His single mother could not afford to put him in a private "christian" school. Even after his mother found an Indonesian man to marry they to could not afford it. And to put emphasis on the step-father part and blame him for his "bad" upbringing is insulting to all people to take on a parental role...voluntarily.

      Lets think and use his experience in various places as a strength...since when was being worldly a detriment in politics? Maybe he has a unique understanding that might give him a unique perspective into this horrible "fractional" and "radical" fundamentalist fringe terrorists.

      On your last statement about "you can never tell if it sincere when you are in your 20s"... Last time I checked when you are baptized in may branches of Christianity you are what 3-4 months old... then maybe later you able to repromise on your own. Personally I think someone in there 20s are making a very sincere and conscious decision to be a Christian.

      Enter Your Comment You are creepy!!!! Studying the Koran doesn't make you a terrorist anymore than studying the Bible. This is so old, so ignorant, so racist and so fear-filled and hate-mongering it really doesn't deserve any comment.

    • Posted By: gsaintil1 @ 09/05/2008 1:23:43 PM

      James When you do not have nothing to say about Obama Please shut up. You comment does not make any sense and he does not do you any good since you have a lying tong. Stop lying on someone who cannot find anything wrong with him. Go Obama Go

  • Posted By: BHussein @ 09/05/2008 11:55:26 AM

    Just another example of Obama's buddies and what they are capable of. This is not as big a deal as the others, but its nice to see the truth finally coming out (with a very tiny headline)

    Obama Buddies
    Rev Wright - Racist, Anti-American, who is Obama's close friend, mentor, and spiritual advisor. Obama said he is "like family"
    Bill Ayers- Unapologetic Anti-American Terrorist bomber who wishes he bombed more. Obama launched his career from this man's living room over coffe and friendly hugs.
    Tony Rezco- wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, and attempted extortion- Obama was deeply entrenched in fraud with this man. Accepting $250,000 in donations from him. Buying the adjoining lot of his home from the same seller for $300,000 less than market price. After Rezco was indicted he gave Obama some of his land for which Obama gave him over $60,000 more than it was worth (a little payback to help with legal fees?) Obama supported a development and even wrote a letter in support of it which put over $885,000 in the pocket of Tony Rezco.
    Kilpatrick- Obama calls him a friend- you can read the article to see what this piece of garbage has done.

    So there you have it folks. Obama's buddies. These are the kinds of people that this man would bring to the Whitehouse, to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom, to influence him as leader of our Great Nation.
    Or else you can elect John McCain an American Hero. Tough choice? I think not

    • Posted By: Mark Steven Zuelke @ 09/05/2008 1:42:25 PM

      Absolutely agree - and will emphasize the fact that our choice is between a hero and a zero. McCain for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: BigD2 @ 09/05/2008 12:17:06 PM

      So after 46 years Obama only has the (3) friends that sean hannity says he has? I guess if Rezco trial was not over you would be calling for one now. Did Palin abuse her power in Alaska? Did she fire a man with a family because she was upset with a brother in law and he wouldn't commit a crime for her? Now she and her people are trying to hide by not showing up for depos. Are you outraged about that ? The Mccains have ruined a few lives for the sake of the Mccain interest (ie. the employee that discovered Cindy was stealing dope) can we discuss real deeds and not guilt by association.

      • Posted By: Isaywhatyouthink @ 09/05/2008 12:39:02 PM

        I have to reply to to ignorance. One thing you need to know is that she is being investigated because SHE said go for it because she has nothing to hide. You need to research your argument or you just sound like a dumb libral tree hugging groupie that smokes a lot of dope. I have to laugh at you because of the ignorance. The employee that made that accusation about Cindy was mad because they got caught themselves and was fired. It was just retaliation. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

        • Posted By: BigD2 @ 09/05/2008 1:08:09 PM

          Ignorance cuts both ways. She is trying to take the hearing out of the current process and change it over to a state personnel committee that to which she appointed many if not most of the members. You have got to be kidding about Cyndi Mccain. JM used his Keating five lawyer to destroy this guys reputation. He blew the whistle without knowing who had stolen the drugs. Here is a little reference for you. I have 5 more if you are interested in chasing down facts. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/10/18/drugs/

      Thank you, BHussein! Finally, someone who has not bought into the Obama hype that has been instigated by a media that seems totally out of touch with reality. No one can shoot from oblivion to the status that Obama now enjoys in such a short peroid of time unless that person is supported by corruption and illegal activities. Every time that a newspaper publishes a hint of misconduct on the part of Obama, that story disappears overnight. Whatever happened to the reports of Obama illegally receiving millions of dollars for his campaign from oversea sources? As to the Rev. Wright situation, no one would continue to attend a church for 20 years that espouses viewpoints radically different from what one personally believes UNLESS one actually agrees with those viewpoints. Anyone, whether black, white or purple, with a strong sense of morality would be repulsed by Rev. Wright's hate-filled sermons. The fact that Obama continued as a member of this church suggests two possibilities...one, that Rev. Wright's beliefs are also Obama's beliefs, and two, certain members of that church were so politically influencial that Obama could not resist the opportunity to score points. As someone else commented, IF Obama is elected to office, he will then have to start returning all of these favors to the corrupt people who helped elect him. Do we really want a president of this country to be returning favors to the likes of Detroit's Kilpatrick?

      If thats all Obama has try again! McCains guilty frinds club would fill pages in here!! so don't vote McCain cause a hero does not a president make! I see it's time to bring out Goldwater,Ketting 5, and millions more Nixon,Libby,Rove!!! See the point yet if guilt by assoscation was real,, McCain would still be in prision from the very first day Obama was born,, starting with Berry Goldwater in Az!! so keep trying if this is all you can find, lets fill a few pgs with McCains guilty friends oh ya PALIN is in that club too or soon to be!!!

    Re: LudwigVanBeet's insipid comment,
    Weren't Gore and Kerry leading in the 'polls'? How did that turn out for them on election day?

  • Posted By: JamesD12345 @ 09/05/2008 12:26:10 PM

    That's nothing. Barack Hussien Obama Jr. is also friends with William Ayers the guy who tried to blow up the Pentagon before his muslim brothers in Al Quida got the job done.
    The fact is Barack was raised in Indonesia from age 5-10 and followed his step-father to mosque for evening prayer. He also had to study the Koran two hours a day at muslim public schools. There wasn't separation of church and state in Indonesia. Obama's mama was an atheist, or agnostic at best, a muslim at worst. Barack was never baptized as a Chirstian until he joined the Daley political machine in his 20s. So fair weather, Barack may claim to be Christian the question is not 'is he' a muslim, but was he a muslim and the press likes to make it seem like he was raised Christian or even raised American. Barack doesn't have American values, that's why he doesn't care to put his hand over his heart when hearing the national anthem, he was not taught to be loyal to the US from childhood. He was raised Indonesian.
    Do you want a President tha is eligible for the Kenyan Olympic team?
    We also forget that Obama was buddy buddy with Al Sharpton during the Imus scandal.

    Greetings from the 7th district in Michigan.

    This won't hurt Obama in Michigan, although I hear some wingnuts in Tennessee and at Newsweek Magazine online might think otherwise.

    • Posted By: MoJabar @ 09/05/2008 1:16:44 PM

      It will hurt Obama becaue African-American's are undependable voters. They need alot of encouragement and transportation and prodding by Democrat-party "get -out-the-vote-efforts." If they feel slighted by the ouster of Mayor Kilpatrick the'll be extra-reluctant to vote for the traitor Obama. White folks, on the other hand, look at voting as a sacrament and a privilege. They will get to the polling places under all circumstances.

    Why don't you right an article on the separatist husband of sarah palin! I think that's more dangerous to the country then a hug with some presumed criminal. Washington is full of criminals especially G.Ws friends and associates. Writen an article on the Bush administrations pressumed and convicted criminals.

  • Posted By: vmmeule @ 09/05/2008 1:10:58 PM

    How many politicians have both McCain and Obama met with in the last 16 months? This article is appalling in trying to insinuate that one politicians bad acts can reflect on anothers only because they are of the same race and party. Next I hope you run a story on the potential negative impact of Abramoff's latest troubles on the McCain campaign. Get yourselves out of the gutter and report actual news.

  • Posted By: stephenprestwood @ 09/05/2008 1:09:06 PM

    Hmmm, let's see. Obama and Kilpatrick were not friends or associates, nor did they collaborate on anything poitically. ... Obama was hoping for Kilpatrick's support and influence in heavily democratic and African-American Detroit. Hmmm. no news there either.... Seems like this is just more guilt by association trash. And, what the hell is a "man-hug"? Use some class if you're going to write for Newsweek.

  • Posted By: RealAmerican @ 09/05/2008 12:34:22 PM

    This is the dumbest logic ever from Newsweek. What say you of those who voted G.W. Bush in for a second term? Should all of them be held accountable for his failures or should BUSH himself be held accountable. McCain actually endorsed and campaigned for BUSH. Voted with him over 90% of the time so he's significantly has more liability in BUSHES failures. Obama has absolutely no culpability in the decisions Kilpatric has made or his failures as mayor. This logic is beyond dumb.

    • Posted By: Isaywhatyouthink @ 09/05/2008 1:07:38 PM

      McCain has endorsed Bush's plan to keep us safe from terrorist attacks!!! He has done exactly that!!! We have been safe since 9/11. Give credit where it is due. Other than that, you need to research McCain's plans. They are different from Bush. Obama's plans are corrupt. OBAMA WILL RAISE TAXES!!! OBAMA WILL DISARM AMERICA!!! OBAMA WILL DEPEND ON FOREIGN NATIONS!! OBAMA WILL BRING DOWN AMERICA!!! Watch his speeches, don't just take my word for it. If that is the change you desire then you are on your way!!! America needs more jobs, less dependant on foreign nations(nations that hate us anyway), drill HERE, LESS government, LESS government spending, ETC, ETC, ETC!!! MCCAIN and PALIN will do just that!!!! Watch their speeches. And you call yourself a real American.....give me a break!!! Conservatives are what this country was founded on and how it has prospered. REAL AMERICANS don't vote for people like OBAMA who haven't served a day in his life, REAL AMERICANS don't dishonor our flag, REAL AMERICANS don't want a bigger government, REAL AMERICANS don't think that children are punishments, they are our future!!! MCCAIN AND PALIN FOR PRESIDENT AND VP 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
