I Just Shake My Head

The reports continue that 10% of the people polled still believe that Obama is a Muslim. I found that hard to believe until I found something even harder to believe. I met one of those 10%. This one happened to be an Obama supporter who has followed the race closely. It is a person who has a great deal of common sense and political awareness.

Yet that person said that the one concern they had still was that Obama was a Muslim. They were quickly corrected by a couple people around them. They smiled and said they felt better about supporting him now.

Of course as Andrew Sullivan pointed out the other day in a post that

23 percent believe they've been in the presence of a ghost.
18 percent believe the sun revolves around the Earth.

As Sullivan adds, maybe 0nly 10% believing that Obama is a Muslim isn't such a large number after all.
