“The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups. Mr. Asbahi said he did not want to distract Obama’s campaign.
Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, who was appointed volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs by the Obama campaign on July 26, stepped down Monday after an Internet newsletter wrote about his brief stint on the fund’s board, which also included a fundamentalist imam…..”

I’m a 16-year- old junior from Texas. I’m homeschooled but have taken 4 classes at my local community college and will take 12 next year. I hope to take 5 ap tests this summer. I have not taken any subject tests yet but I plan to take some this Spring. I have a 2250 on the SAT (I just got my scores back). I have a 4.0 GPA from my co-op (where a lot of homeschoolers come together to learn from homeschool moms who are educated on the subject they teach) and a 4.0 from the community college, having taken arabic 1 & 2, algebra, and US history. I got a 214 on the PSAT so I might also be a national merit scholar. I’m in the homeschool national honor society (Eta Sigma Aplha) and I hope to become the Community Service Organizer. I’m trying to earn the congressional bronze medal. I am the co-president of my debate team and mentor newbie debaters. I also am a regional champion in debate. I participate in the Model UN, specifically the Harvard Model UN and the Texas Model UN, as the president of the homeschool UN club. I participate in boy scouts and hope to get eagle. I have been a scribe and a patrol leader, having won best booth in show at a scout show and wining the national honor patrol award and the troop honor patrol award. I play varsity tennis. I am the editor of my troop’s newsletter. I am in my church’s choir and am president of the boy’s choir. I am the founder and editor of my co-ops yearbook with around 200 kids. I am also the president of my co-ops model congress club. During the summer, I participate in debate camp, boy scout camp, my church’s vbs, and i travel alot, usually to egypt to immerse myself in arabic. I used to have a jobas my church’s av operator, but then I started doing it for free. Which brings me to my volunteer work. Besides all the stuff I do for scouts and the honor society, I am the reader for my church, as well as a sunday school helper. I;ve gone on 7 mission trips with my church to help deaf children in rio bravo mexico. I campaigned for John McCain for 3 hours, tuesdays and thursday, for 5 weeks, and I volunteer at a homeless shelter every month for 5 hours. I think that’s it. What do you think?
oh, also, I’ll be interning for my congressman this summer.

One Republican black woman suggested it might be campaigns like the one her Republican women’s club conducted where Obama is depicted on a phony $10 bill surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken.

Lets face it, the media is in love with Obama(if u disagree kindly read Time, newsweek aka obama campaign newsletter, watch MSNBC,CNN). Every one of them give incredible coverage to Obama(Obama jokingly talking ghetto style to a young black woman was big news).

Black man becoming president is BIG news. Old WHITE guy becoming President is boring.
Can mccain overcome this media disadvantage?

PS: Yeah i know Fox news will not have eulogies of Obama, but thats one channel against the rest!
