My statement was not a reflection of my view of Obama, but rather how far we have come in accepting people of all races, etc, that we could elect a minority president. I am white, for what that's worth. But I still am proud of how far this country has come. It has a long way to go.

1) Obama is not a Muslim
2) Even if he was, it wouldnt bother me. This country celebrates freedom of religion (or FROM it lol).
3) I doubt he hates America. I have been accused of the same, though, simply because I am opposed to war, and I don't hate Middle Eastern people. There is room in our great land for all views! I was miserable during the Bush years, and often ashamed, so I can understand how those opposed to Obama may feel now as I did then.
