In response to the false email circulating that presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim who turns his back to the U.S. flag and slouches when others are reciting the Pledge of Alegiance:
The last I heard is that this great country was built on religious freedom. We are not all White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP). They tried to say President John F. Kennedy would not be a good president because he was a Catholic. We all received our introduction in religion by whatever our parents believed, then we made our own choices by that which we grew to believe. Senator Obama is now a practicing Christian (so is President Bush...). The only thing that will make you a good or bad president is your leadership abilities.
In this age of the ever present camera, there is no way that he could turn his back on the U.S. flag while the Pledge is being recited. Don't believe the hype people
One good thing is that Black people are talking and excited about politics. So get out and get registered and vote. Research the candidate of your choice and concentrate on his or her ability to lead the country.
