are elected. During the DNC Convention in 2004, Obama said 'My father ... grew up herding goats.' This statement was also proven to be false as his grand father was a wealthy land owner and his father was a well educated student.

And what about Obama's beloved "Kenyan brothers and sisters?" None of his family was invited to Boston to share his prominence and glory. Are his relatives being kept in the closet? Where are they? More secrecy, more prevarication.

Obama being caught with the turban on is a critical step in exposing where his alliances are. Recently, Obama has been moving more and more towards his father's heritage, and even admitted that in his latest book. Thus he was seen wearing a turban, both to identify with his father's culture and to fit in with his community, where is he seen as a Muslim in Kenya.

Obama, Osama, whats the real difference? Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage? The fact remains that most of what we know of his history comes from the senator himself and much of his family and history has not been disclosed and remains shrouded in secrecy. If you got nothing to hide, why don't you come out and say it? That is the question Americans are asking Barack Hussein Obama.
