Barack Obama?

Why are people so upset at Obama? He isn't president yet & people are complaining. I don't know much about politics but I don't see what's going on. I've seen websites calling him Obama Bin Laden. I've seen websites saying he was a Muslim. Why does it matter if he's a muslim? Besides, I heard he was a christian.

1. because like a-holes everyone has an opinion, and they feel the need to voice it. And i think he is muslim, but not sure.
2. people are edieits thats why they assume things these days.. just because his father was a muslim that doesnt make him a muslim terrorist.. NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE CRAZY PEOPLE WHO WANNA GO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE
3. He is a christian...what you are seeing are the xenophobic rantings of people who are afraid of a man of color taking power.
4. It matters to people that he was muslim because one never knows what can happen.... Terrorists are great actors in disguise - are they not?
5. its politics, its crazy, and some people jump before having the knowledge.. its life..
6. First he's not a Muslim Second....people like to complain....even before there's anything to complain about.
7. Well, he is a former Muslim and claims he is a Christian. His middle name is Hussein, which is his Muslim name. Now I just have a question here myself. If he is a Christian, why dosen't he change his name? After all, this country was founded on Christian beliefs. Also, you asked, what does it matter if he's Muslim? It matters because the countries that are causing are the terror problems in the US are Muslim. People are probaly calling him Osama Bin Laden because Obama sounds like Osama, but I think it's just a coinicidence.
8. I don't think he's a Muslim. But he is a socialist.
9. He's inexperienced. Vote for Clinton!! hillaryclinton.com
10. Why do people want to elect someone with no experience. Obama has only been a senator 1 year and 3 months.
