Actions, achievements belie Obama being Muslim

I don't understand how anyone with any intelligence could honestly believe that President Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. The strongest fact to me is his marriage to Michelle Robinson. What Muslim man would ever let his wife out in public with her shoulders bared for the world to see?

Michelle Obama's lifetime achievements exceed 99 percent of the population. She skipped second grade, attended advanced placement classes while on the honor roll four years, was salutatorian at her high school graduation, completed her bachelor's degree from Princeton cum laude and went on toget her law degree from Harvard Law School. She was a practicing attorney when she met Barack Obama. With him, she has produced two wonderful girls who attend a Quaker (Christian) school. All of this from a blue-collar family that can trace its roots back to slaves right here in South Carolina.

In this great country, we all have the opportunity to achieve success when we work hard, obey the rules and do our best. We get rewarded whether we are a man, woman, gay, black, disabled, whatever. Don't try to tell me this has anything in common with being a Muslim.

The Obamas are more American than apple pie; they are the walking talking embodiment of the American dream. It is simply idiotic to think Barack Obama is a Muslim.
