Ok so you know how some people (the Tea Party) are calling Obama a muslim? Well, that was only because when he lived in Indonesia he supposedly went to some kind of radical muslim school, however he went to a public school and also a christian school (to see an article about this CLICK HERE).
Now, if some people think that Obama is a muslim why wasn't John McCain called an immigrant? He was born in the Panama Canal Zone, albeit on a U.S. base, which is a poor latino country, and he became senator for Arizona where there is so much trouble going on with the U.S. trying to keep out the illegal aliens! For more background info on McCain CLICK.
Personally I think this is a bit ironic that Obama was born in Hawaii but is called a muslim, while his competitor in the Presidential Election was born in the Panama canal Zone! This just relates to my AIS class because we will most likely be studying American Presidents. YAY!!
Feels pretty unformed, Olivia, but I am glad you mentioned this in your reflection. I don't think you need the disclaimer at the beginning. Finally, I think the connections to class could be stronger.
