CNN Debunks False Obama ‘Madrassa’ Smear
Last week, Fox News and other Rupert Murdoch outlets amplified a
right-wing report alleging that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended an
Islamic “madrassa” school as a 6-year-old child.

One Fox News caller questioned whether Obama’s schooling means that
“maybe he doesn’t consider terrorists the enemy.”
Fox anchor Brian Kilmeade responded, “Well, we’ll see about that.”
Commenting on this report today, Wolf Blitzer said that CNN had done
“what any serious news organization is supposed to do in this kind of
a situation”: actually investigate and learn the facts.
CNN’s Senior International Correspondent John Vause filed a report
from Indonesia.
Watch it:

In the report, Vause says, “I’ve been to those madrassas in Pakistan …
this school is nothing like that.”
He also interviews a classmate of Obama’s who says the school was not
even strictly Muslim;
it also taught Christian, Buddhist, and Confucian students.
CNN has more details HERE.

are truly a waste of their time. They should find other more
constructive things to do. They're gettin' kinda tiresome.
