- The first sentence says Obama was born in Hawaii.  At first I was under the impression that someone decided to act in a competent manner and remove the baseless innuendo about his place of birth.  Alas I was mistaken because later in the article the word 'alleged' is still used.  I thought all reasonable people would presume that a document from the State of Hawaii would suffice to prove one's citizenship instead of using the rants of the lunatic fringe.

- Obama only attended religious schools until he reached the age of ten (Islamic and Catholic).  The rest of his education from Punahou School, Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard was nonsectarian.  Clearly the vast majority of his education was non-religious.

- Obama was baptized in 1988, the same year he started attending Harvard.  If there is a reference stating he was baptized prior to his political ambitions, please post it.  [[http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/30/america/30obama.php?page=2]]

- Just because someone reads a book allegedly 'from a Muslim point-of-view' does not mean they are actually a Muslim.  I have read parts of the book and I am not a Muslim.

- Roosevelt communicated with America's enemies.  After the outbreak of WW II, Roosevelt was negotiating with the Japanese.  Things didn't go well and the Japanese were embargoed, thus losing most of their import capability including over 90% of their oil supplies.

- Any chance a reference could be provided for the claim concerning the flag pin?  The way it reads now makes the entry look like partisan whining.
