"Green" Obama

Nope.  The heading does NOT represent a new nickname for Barack "Spanish" Obma (see last week's entry for explanation). 

It refers to the latest attempt by Obama to manipulate the media, because of his snesitivity to those "evil" internet people out there suggesting he is a Muslim.

I had not heard this.  But Obama's campaign has told the press corps, or people accompanying him in the Middle East, NOT TO WEAR GREEN, because it is the "color" of Hamas (terrorist organization that Obama advisor met with). 

This was actually news to Middle East experts, who do suggest that green is sort of considered the color of ISLAM--leading to the probable real explanation here.  Just like removing those Muslim women from camer ange, this just appears to be Obama's attempt to "counter" thos persitent rumors that he is a Muslim. 

I agree, by the way, that those rumors are ridiculous.  It would be BETTER if Barack Obama were a Muslim.  Instead, for 20 years he was not just a member, but fervent supporter, of Reverend Wright's cult, hate variation on the Church of Christ.
