Obama's a terrorist? What? ....

I cant take it anymore! This blog is in response to a family member's ignorance.
This certain someone doesn't like to keep up with the presidential candidates and doesn't even know who supports what. But, she is very swayable. Some days she believes in Obama, some days she thinks he's a terrorist. Which brings me to this point.
Everyday, she gets a new chain letter e-mail stating that Barack Obama is a terrorist, or associates with terrorists, yadda yadda.
I just think it's comical that aallllll these people are freaking out about a "terrorist thats going to take over our country". I'm preettttyyy sure our government knows everything about these guys. The secret service would know if one of these guys is a terrorist, or is associated with them. I dont think they would allow an alleged terrorist who is going to "blow our country to shreds" run for the most important office in our country. It's obvious. Do you really think that would happen? Hope not. Thats just pure ignorance.
Second point. She also got a chain letter e-mail saying that Obama wasn't even born in the United States, making him ineligible to run for President. Is the person who started this thread absolutely dim-witted? Have they ever heard of google? Obama was born in Hawaii. Just because his dad's black and was born in Kenya doesn't mean Obama was, too.
I can't even begin to explain how imbecile people are. Do your goddamn research. Stop reading chain e-mails. Just because this man is black doesn't mean anything. He has overcome something a WOMAN hasn't even done, yet. I think people need to stop looking at the color of this man's skin and start realizing that he has great intentions. And he's not a fucking terrorist.
