I am impressed that you are able to look at the POTUS' college years, when no records are open to anyone.
I don't think Outdoor338 is a Muslim Hater at all, but someone who is alarmed at everything he sees, as am I. IMHO Obama has said he is of the Muslim faith, has admitted to being raised by two different Muslims in his own book.
As usual, the line about Obama's "Muslim faith" was taken out-of-context.
That last sentence was a straightforward statement: Senator Obama was not proclaiming his "Muslim faith"; he was acknowledging that Republican nominee John McCain had not specifically promulgated the false rumor that he (Obama) was a Muslim.
Unfortunately, at this point of the interview, George Stephanopoulos — apparently not understanding the context of Senator Obama's response — mistakenly attempted to correct him by interjecting the words "Your Christian faith." This non sequitur briefly threw Senator Obama off track; he repeated the words "My Christian faith" and then returned to the point he was trying to make:
A very brief, out-of-context segment was then clipped from that exchange and sent winging around the Internet as proof that Senator Obama had "admitted his Muslim faith," something even the conservative Washington Times acknowledged was false:
But illustrating the difficulty of preventing false rumors about his faith from spreading, anti-Obama groups within one hour of the interview had sliced it out of context and were sending it around via email. They also were blogging about it.
Mr. Obama, who is a Christian and often proudly speaks about how his faith has influenced his public service, said he finds it "deeply offensive" that there are efforts "coming out of the Republican camp to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith."

I don't think outdoor is a muslim hater either.....I think he equally hates everything and everyone who does not look like him, think like him, or pray like him. Unfortunately there are far too many like that in this country. So much for us being the once proudly proclaimed "melting pot" of the world.
When you post stuff like this, it really makes your points look weak. You misrepresent everything, and it's so obvious.
The first video is just a short clip, but even in it it's clear what Obama was meaning to say. I guess you couldn't figure it out, but Obama was just acknowledging that McCain did not participate in the false claims that he was a Muslim. When George tried to correct him (no correction was really necessary, but without it, it would of been an even bigger sound bite for the conservatives to take him out of context), it made it a bit awkward, but even then Obama explained what he ment. Geeze....
And the second video proves nothing either. If it did, then here is one that "proves" George Bush is a Muslim, or at least a big Muslim supporter too...

I just don't get why you post stuff like this to prove your point. It just makes it clear you have no real ammo in your arguement because your evidence is so weak.

I respectfully disagree jf1, I did not post what outdoor thinks, I posted what I think about his posts. If I had said outdoor hates everyone....I would be guilty as charged, but saying I think he hates everyone....is different. When others start posting their thoughts as opinion, and not as fact, I'll get off their backs about it.
Archer, hate is a big word, not sure about your last post...goofy as usual...since when are opinions wrong..their opinions.. just as your allowed to voice yours, I don't agree with many of them, but have never used the word hate in any way towards you..archer has on many occasions put words in my mouth...frankly, I don't care if she does, its her only way of looking foolish in her response. I would like to know, who I hate in your opinion, and where I have said that I hate any person or group. I'll be waiting archer...
