“Dear Reader,
I wrote this essay last night, because my mom forwarded me an incredibly hateful negative email that is going around from some crazy spam-bot about Barack Obama.
I would like to share it with you, because, I think that you are the future and the present of the United States of America.
Barack Obama is this country’s last hope. So what if his dad is or was a Muslim? Lots of People are Muslim, and most Muslims don’t want anything to do with fundamentalism and destroying the U. S, they just want a happy family life and a good income. Just like most Christian Americans
Being Muslim is a religion. Just like Christianity. It is not wanting to destroy the U. S. Our government now wants you to FEAR them. But why? Fear is an easy means of control.
Just because somebody’s parents were of a different religion than Christianity doesn’t mean that that person is bad, or a scheming way for the fundamentalist Arabs to control the U. S. That is WACK. And if you believe that you are Wack. If you seriously believe that Barack Obama is a spy for the “Evil Arabs” than you are rather gullible and ill-advised.
As far as religion goes, The number one president in all U. S. history, Abraham Lincoln, who we should all look up to, was also Non Religious
From Wikipedia:
“For some time, Thomas Lincoln, Abraham’s father, was a respected and relatively affluent citizen of the Kentucky backcountry. He had purchased the Sinking Spring Farm in December of 1808 for $200 cash and assumption of a debt.[4] The family belonged to a Baptist church that had seceded from a larger church over the issue of slavery [citation needed], although Abraham himself never joined their church, or any other church for that matter.”
A president need not wear his Christianity on his sleeve to be great, moral or outstanding.
Barack Obama is a dedicated senator, and most important of all, an outsider. Not of the Shrillery Clinton Blue-bloods, or the Old White Millionaires that the Republican Party wants us to vote for. Obama is the son of an immigrant parent, and he worked hard for what he has and is. So what if he associated with a “Slumlord”? he was trying to help the community at the time. He worked with Real People to make the community better from the ground up. He wasn’t handed everything on a silver platter in an Ivory Tower like The Clintons, or The Republican Millionaire candidates. I want a president who knows what is up in the United States in the real world now.
Andrew Jackson’s Parents were IMMIGRANTS. Nobody cared back then did they? They wanted the best man for the job.
Did John F. Kennedy’s presidency (He was a devote Catholic) make the Vatican secretly run the U. S. government? I don’t think so. I think you sheeple should open your minds and your guts and think really hard. Katrina. Remember how great the Republicans handled Katrina? Yeah, not so great at all. Hundreds died. “make levees, not war,” but the war kept going..
And for the record, most of my possessions were destroyed in Katrina. My greatest musical recordings, my VHS taped lived performances with my band, gone, except for ten songs that I took with me before Katrina. I know several people who have either died or gone insane from fighting in Iraq. I have a rather negative opinion of the Bush Presidency. Why are we there in Iraq, I thought it all so complicated until I read Kurt Vonnegut’s essay “Cold Turkey” and it explained a lot. I mean Vonnegut(R. I. P.), was a veteran himself! He lived through the fire bombing of Dresden, by hiding in a slaughterhouse. (the novel Slaughterhouse Five is a personal fantastical science fiction memoir of that one event) One of the most horrific events of the last century, of WWII. I can understand why we fought in WWII. Hitler, was very bad. Vonnegut is one of my literary idols, possibly the greatest author in the twentieth century.

If I could just make one person open their mind to the thought of Barack Obama being a good president, then I feel this essay is worth it.
Love,
