Does it really matter?
Reader comment on item: Obama's Muslim Childhood
Submitted by yuval Brandstetter MD (Israel), Sep 21, 2012 at 03:54
The question is not what is Obama's faith, but rather where are his fidelities. Is he a loyal american dedicated to securing america's might and future or is he not. Reality suggests that he is not. He has made america poorer, weaker, less respected and easily trounced, disloyal to its friends and inconsequential to its real enemies. If this is what Americans are happy with then they deserve the further decline expected by 2016
As for Israel, its a free sovereign country which must not depend on the US for security or even assistance

Maybe it does not matter to you that Obama lies about something so central to his identity. It does matter to me.
