Obama's Religious Background, Does It Matter? Options

[fameONE]

For those of you that have been following, yet another, God-awful US election, you're well aware of the recent specualtions about Barack Obama being a Muslim. Does it really matter? What difference would it make if the man was a Scientologist?

^Of course not, but I think you get the idea of what I was trying to say. Let's face it, there are alot of people who never want to see a black person become president. As much as it appears to be otherwise, that sentiment still exists. I have always wondered if Obama were running for the republican seat, and he was the front runner,if he would have the backing like McCain has. In no way am I one of those people who are all hey we are black and deserve this and that, but the truth is the truth in this instance. I mean if you think about it, Hilary really only has like what, a year or two on Obama when it comes to her political career. The fact that he is inexperienced, I think bodes well for him in my opinion. We definitely need a breath of fresh air from the good ol' boys network that has plagues us.
