I think Obama gets beat badly. Every retirment village and home in the country thinks O`Boma is a muslim. Obama is right this is why he will lose. Its a no win situation.==================== Obama says Muslim issue is 'no-win situation' 09:03 AM CDT on Monday, July 28, 2008 By GROMER JEFFERS JR. / The Dallas Morning News gjeffers@dallasnews.com CHICAGO — Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday that responding to incorrect assertions that he's a Muslim has put him in a "no-win situation." If he allows the Internet rumors and other misleading information to go unchallenged, it's an affront to his Christianity and could cost him support from voters who don't want a Muslim in the White House. But if he aggressively confronts the rumors, it could suggest to some that there's something wrong with being a Muslim. "This is a classic example of a no-win situation," Mr. Obama told hundreds of journalists gathered in Chicago for the UNITY convention for journalists of color. "I have repeatedly said I'm not a Muslim, but this whole strategy of suggesting that I am is indicative of anti-Muslim strategy that we have to fight against," he said. Mr. Obama said he also didn't want his religion to be falsely identified as a matter of respect for his own faith. "If you were a Muslim and somebody consistently said you were a Christian, I suspect that you would want to have that corrected," he said. Later, Mr. Obama was asked whether he would be a strong contender for president if he were a Muslim. He didn't directly answer the question, but said the "American people are more tolerant and open minded than a lot of the pundits give them credit for." Mr. Obama spoke to the group after returning from a tour of parts of the Middle East and Europe. He said the relationships he created from the trip would help him if he won the White House. But he added that he didn't expect the much-publicized tour to give him a boost in the polls. "People are understandably concerned about the immediate affects of the economy," he said. Mr. Obama also answered a question from The Dallas Morning News reporter Dianne Solis who asked whether there were too many immigrants coming to the country. "The problem is not the number of immigrants," he said. "The problem is when we've got a legal immigration system running parallel with an illegal immigration system." He said he would improve border security, penalize companies who hire illegal immigrants and create a path to citizenship for the law abiding illegal immigrants in the country. Mr. Obama was warmly received by most of the journalists in attendance. As he walked on the stage, he was cheered and given a standing ovation.
