For a long while, presidential contender Barack Obama had to
contend with a whispering campaign that suggested he might be some sort of
Islamic fanatic. You know! It was all a part of his parents' master plan to destroy
America
by giving their son a middle name that would come to be shared by an Iraqi
dictator that no one had even heard of at the time of Barack's birth! After a while, Obama got shot of that mess and was accepted as a Christian. But
then! It turned out that his preacher had said three or four things that people
found objectionable, and it turned out that said preacher enjoyed all the
attention he got more than he did serving his faith, so Obama had to labor to
get shot of that controversy. Well, it's been a few weeks since the
nation has pointedly moved on from that matter, so I guess it's time for the
pendulum to swing back to the Obama-as-secret-Muslim argument.
