Presidential Candidates... now guilty for the sins of the fathers?
(via)But apparently ostriches can't read. Because Obama's alleged "debunking" didn't debunk a thing. It raised more questions. For starters, many have cited an AP story and a CNN story, both of which sent "reporters" to check into the Muslim school that Obama attended.

And we should trust him because Muslims never lie or propagandize. Taqiyyah is a concept in Hinduism or maybe atheism?

Gee, if he wasn't a Muslim, but a Catholic, why would a Catholic identify as a Muslim in a Catholic school? He and his parents were trying to hide his Catholic background from a Catholic school?

And I doubt that's the reason Obama self-identified as a Muslim at Catholic school.
The real reason might just be the logical one: that it's the truth. That he actually was a Muslim.
George W. Bush gets a pass on the cocaine and booze abuse through his 30's, his lack of showing in the TANG and run-ins with the law but Obama has to justify why his parents put him in a school for Muslims at the age of eight? We learned all about 'youthful indiscretions in the late nineties when Henry Hyde was found to be as guilt of the "crime**" he was angry at Clinton for committing. Apparently the window for sowing wild oats closes for the GOP at 40 and at 7 for Democrats. So the trick is to grow up as a Republican and switch parties at 39 and grandfather your behavior under the new rules.
In a parallel comparison, Obama went to a Muslim school and eventually became a Christian, I went to a Baptist school and eventually became an Atheist.
