When I see this photo, I don't see someone who would betray this country....I just see a man who has watched a little too much Jonny Quest.....
Y'all?.....

Wasn't surprised at all.
It's just another nail in the electoral coffin of the most liberal senator in the senate.
I'd like to shake the hand of the person that put it up on the internet.

He looks like a jackass, but otherwise i could care less.

Don't get me wrong, I despise the guy but I think there is plenty of real stuff to hammer him on that this kind of trivial junk.

Doesn't even look particularly comfortable in it.
I object to the fact that he's a gungrabbing socialist, not his diplomatic dress-up photos.

Nonissue, he's playing dress-up with a photo op costume over a regular polo shirt, no different than Bush wearing a Chinese silk jacket. They all do that.

This.
This is so completely a non issue, especially in comparison to the REAL reasons no one should vote for him, that I can't believe it has become as big an issue as it has.

What I find more utterly disgusting is that rednecks are using Barack Hussein Obama's middle name when they talk about him - how dare they!
After all, nobody, but nobody, ever uses the middle names of Presidents - it just isn't done!
That's why you probably never heard the middle names of men like John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower, George Herbert Walker Bush, William Howard Taft, Lyndon Baines Johnson, James Earl Carter, William Jefferson Clinton, or Harry S. Truman.

He looks like an ass, by the way. So did Bush in China - looked like he was in his PJs.

This photo is a non-issue.
Now if they had a picture of him with his arm around Osama Bin Ladin and shooting an AK into the air, then you might have something.

Then someone should inform these people:

(note the banner at the top of the page)
If you have time, take a look at some of the correspondence that's available on-line at the site, including handwritten notes on stationary labeled "From the desk of Harry S. Truman."

In a perfect world, a picture like this would not affect his electoral chances one bit.
In a perfect world, people would be seriously debating his platform and issue stances.
This however is not a perfect world.

To me its no different when I go to my friend's synagogue and he asks me to keep my head covered inside, I'm just respecting my friend and the customs and traditions.

In the real world the religion of a True Believer is entirely relevant to the discussion of one's platform and issue stances.
That said: IMO the only religion most politicians have is the Religion of Self...

Are you thinking I am an Obama supporter?
Gods no.
I'm saying, people should attack him on nonsense like this, not his faith or whatever.

If he supports gun rights, I don't care if he is a Muslim, Protestant, Martian, Klingon, Andorian, Romulan, etc...
Not me.....I don't trust Romulans.......and Obama could pass as one....
