What is all of this hoopla about anyway? Mr. Barack Obama has not been elected to the Presidency. The route for the registered voters of the U.S. of A. is to vote for anyone other than Mr. Obama.
That's not true. There was a guy on stage standing toward the left who's from Chicago and a Muslim. So Trimity church may not have known this information. That guy is my cousin's associate.
