I'm sure you run across a few of these on the net.  People all too willing to accept what they read without much thought.  If someone bothered to write it then it must be true.  Unfortunately many of these people also have the tendency of spreading these lies all over the net.  As one naive lady told me "where there's smoke there's fire" as she referred to barack Obama as a separatist due to an anonymous e-mail she was forwarded by a trusted friend 'exposing' Obama for the lie that he is'.  It scares me how badly things have gotten.  Not just the tactics used by the Clinton's, their dirty politics as the political analysts call it.  I never planned to write this article but as these myths continue to pervade the internet I feel like there needs to be a source of truth to right these lies.

Myth # 1 Obama Is Not Experienced Enough To Run The Country
In most situations this would be an important trait, its always better to have an experienced person doing a job, that is except in Washington.  The Experienced politicians have had no problem destroying our country from the inside out and we need a different direction.  We need someone who has a fresh view and is not bought and paid for by the corporations which send our jobs out of the country while receiving all kinds of tax incentives.  Obama has enough experience to do what is right in Washington.  HIllary counts her time as First Lady as experience despite her not even having the security clearance to do virtually anything official.  She plays up her role back then but despite what many people thought, Bill was wearing the pants back then and still is as evidenced by him basically running his wife's campaign.  Its very easy to confuse who's actually the one running for President is, Hillary or Bill (or perhaps both, Bill's way around that silly 2 term rule, why should that rule have to apply to a Clinton?)
 
Want more information on exactly what Obama has done in his short time in Illinois and in the Senate in Washington, visit his website to find out all that he has accomplished.
Here is a link to Obama's Website , the more you know of Obama and his past the more you'll like him. 
 
Myth #2 Obama is a Separatist Due to His South Side Chicago Christian Church He Is A MemberOf
Like I have said in multiple posts all over the net, calling Obama a Separatist is like calling Hitler a humanitarian.
 Barack Obama belongs to a very proud Christian Church on the south side of Chicago, a very poor area of Chicago.
This church scares many people people they are so proud of their race, however they are not racist in any way.
If any detractors of this church want to attend mass there this church will not block the doors.  Yes it is a predominantly black church however this is due to that area of Chicago also being heavily black.  As I have told one bigoted Hillary supporter: the fact that you are afraid to step in their church does not make them racist 

Myth #3 Obama's View On The Iraq War Is A Fairy Tale--He and Hillary Have The Same Record on the Iraq War
This was the beginning of the dirty politics employed by Bill Clinton to knock Obama off message for a few days.  Luckily the public has gotten sick of Bill's distortions, but besides Bill's false comments, for the most part everyone knows Obama is the only candidate who voted against the war  (one exception is Ron Paul but until a candidate has more than 4% of the vote in any state I don't really count them).  Basically the truth is:
1. When Obama made the comments Bill is referring to he was speaking of what to do with the troops already in Iraq, not whether he initally supported the war or not. 2. Obama made these comments at the time of the Democratic National Convention in 2004 and thought it would be out of line to contradict the Democratic Nominee at the time.
 
Myth #4 Obama Is Unpatriotic
According to this anonymous e-mail Obama refuses to put his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance due to his unpatriotism.  This myth asnwer is a little long so I refer you to the  Washington Post  .  Basically one photo at a steak fry is taken out of context and used to try and attack Obama, who is a stout patriot and a proud American.
 
Myth #5  Obama Is A Muslim 
This is another crazy myth that is being perpetrated and believed on the internet.  This is a ridiculous attack as Obama has always been a Chirstian.
Snopes.com is an excellent resource for myths of any kind and gives the full answer to this myth. Basicallyu this myth began by someone finding out Obama attended Catholic and Muslim school for  a few years when he lived in Indonesia.  Obama's mother sent him to the best schools available in the area, not for Religion, but in order to receive the best education possible.
