My mother-in-law definitely forwarded a chain letter to me yesterday that "claimed" to out Barack Obama and his connection to the Muslim world - specifically, that Obama has ties to extreme terror organizations and is fooling American while he infiltrates the presidency.
1. It's unfortunate that people believe this b.s.
B. While Americans in general aren't intelligent enough to see through GW Bush's facade two elections in a row... I think it's safe to say that Obama hasn't pulled the wool over our eyes.
The article I received also included a link to snopes.com (somewhat of an urban-legend fact-checking site) to validate the argument. Funny, snopes.com declares this urban legend/rumor/nonsense false.
While Obama did attend a small number of Muslim schools (as well as Catholic schools) while living in Indonesia as a child, he has been associated with the United Church of Christ since the mid-1980's - over two decades. Furthermore, the Obama campaign clarified that Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim and is a committed Christian who attends church in Chicago.
Not that it even matters what religion he is, right? Because we're Americans and we offer the freedom to practice whatever religion you believe in, right? Right?

Update: Apparently, I was ahead of the game... just found this.
