Obama's Christian Conversion Politically Motivated

Submitted by Cornelius (United States), Aug 22, 2008 at 12:56

Obama knows that to admit more openly to his Muslim heritage would be the political kiss of death. It is interesting to note that rural America is less convinced than urban America about Obama's claim that he was not born, bred, or trainined as a Muslim. It is so obvious that Obama was originally reared as Muslim, bears an Arabic/Muslim name... Apparently he is ashamed to admit this because he knows he would lose votes. Can we say more about his motivation to say what he says?
