Obama 'was educated in madrassa'

Barack Obama was given a rude awakening to the cut-throat world of presidential politics yesterday after being accused of hiding four years in which he was educated at a madrassa when a teenager.
The claim, made in the conservative Insight magazine, also revealed the Machiavellian scheming of political activists in a presidential race still nearly two years away.

It was aimed at tarnishing Mr Obama’s image in the week he announced himself as a White House contender. But the article also claimed that the madrassa allegations came from aides to Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama’s main opponent for the Democratic nomination.

This may be wishful thinking on behalf of Republicans. The Clinton camp is determined not to be accused of digging dirt on Mr Obama because they fear such tactics could backfire, given his popularity.

But the Insight allegations represent an exquisite double shot at the Democrats’ two leading White House contenders: it implies that Mr Obama, whose middle name is Hussein, is a closet Islamic extremist, and that Mrs Clinton is so rattled by his candidacy she is using underhand tactics to weaken him.

nobody in my house is religious. My parents were raised Christian but never go to church now. But the public schools in our city were absolute pieces of crap so they sent me to a temple. Then we moved.

10. Very good peacebaby3. Clinton was educated in England?

I think for 4 years. What is the point? How fortunate we are to have people with diverse educational backgrounds in our country. Good lord, but I don't see how this is a problem. I do see how Dubai having controling our ports is a problem.

9. Here come the Swift Boat Madrassa Veterans For Truth

They'll get the same bunch of Vets who did the anti-Kerry ads to wear turbans and fake beards and swear on their lives that they were there when they saw Obama burn an American flag and flush a bible down the toilet.
