I've always been told, there are two subjects never to bring up in polite company: religion and politics, so I'll keep this as civil as possible.

Barack Obama isn't a Muslim, where did you get that idea? He was an atheist and is now a member of the Trinity United church in Chicago.

Other than that, I don't know why you would think Obama is more a liberal than Hillary. I think it's this unfortunate lack of interest or education in politics in general that give people the wrong ideas. Or they just happen to listen to Rush Limbaugh, either way.

Just so you're aware, I'm a white male, age 37, married. Registered as non-partisan. I voted for Obama in our (California) primary a couple of weeks ago, and if he becomes the Democratic nominee, I'll vote for him in November. I didn't vote for Hillary because I don't believe in her, not because I don't want a woman president. My wife is a Vice Principal of a school she helped found, and is working on her second masters. There is no way I am biased against Hillary based solely on the fact that she's a woman. That aside, I think the Clintons are simply another dynasty like the Bush's and I have no interest in another Clinton white house. I could go on about Bill's stay in office but I've said enough already.

I'm happy to have a polite debate on politics and the election in general if anyone's interested.
