[Mishmash] Geico Gecko

[Carole]

i really don't believe that i am defending osamabama - but you have a couple
things wrong.  he WAS muslim - his father is muslim and he did attend a
madras (sp?) until i think the 4th or 6th grade when he moved to hawaii with
his mother.  he then or sometime later converted to christianity.  he has
not changed his name.  now - that is all i'm gonna say to defend him.  there
are far more urgent reasons for him to not be president than his muslim
background - but i must say, i don't want anyone in the white house who even
has a  small amount muslim background.

I know I shouldn't feel this way, but even with a border separating us, I
find the thought of a muslim in the White House very disturbing.  Also, did
I not read somewhere in the mists of time that Obama had originally been
Christian and had abandoned his given names to take a name in keeping with
his muslim faith?  On the evening news yesterday he said that his father
is/was from Kenya where muslims are strong.  Years ago I wouldn't have given
any of this a second thought now it causes me great concern.
