TurnRightThenLeft,
The only postive post here. Reality is the problem, I of course speak of my reality.
In the USA money makes one president, in this Clinton is probably a shoe-in as prospective Dem. candidate.
Obama, his name is a disaster in gaining votes in a USA so scared of anything vaguely Moslem. Even if the "sky is falling" without a concilitary approach we are nowhere. His understanding is needed, I hope he's not mufti mole?

A small step for mankind is appropriate and your idea of him becoming a running mate to Clinton is just that "appropriate" for this time and place. What power, influence or other, can he wield? who is vice President today?
The tort is, to be elected he must be at least christian, if he is to take his place and do Condelisa Rice out of the job of taming international relations, is not being a convert from Islam to get fatwa passed on you by someone?
fluff

We would have to change a lot to see that all happen, being an optimist is not enough

Obama has as much chances as Liberman had got because a former pupil of a Muslim school in Jakarta is equally unelectable in a country leading anti-islamist resistance.

Lets get over the bull/s about Barack going to such a school.
He went to a private CHRISTIAN school in Indonesia.
catch up fellow posters.
What a democracy is USA allowing such rubish to be circulated for political ends.
fluff

So, an American-born Muslim attended a private CHRISTIAN school in Jakarta.

Well, let one tell it to American newspapers providing recently some more updates on Indonesia evenryally (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4387604.stm) .

Yeah, I know BBC is a British news agency.

" Three Indonesian girls beheaded
By Tim Johnston
BBC News, Jakarta


Three girls have been beheaded and another badly injured as they walked to a Christian school in Indonesia.

They were walking through a cocoa plantation near the city of Poso in central Sulawesi province when they were attacked.

This is an area that has a long history of religious violence between Muslims and Christians.

A government-brokered truce has only partially succeeded in reducing the number of incidents in recent years.

Police say the heads were found some distance from the bodies.

It is unclear what was behind the attack, but the girls attended a private Christian school and one of the heads was left outside a church leading to speculation that it might have had a religious motive. ..."
