Somebody might want to tell him this is considered a smear:

Barack Obama’s half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.

BTW, I was reading this blog post and I thought the case for Obama actually having a Muslim background is pretty compelling. Both his father and step-father were Muslim and he studied Islam at his school. Yes, he says now that he was never a Muslim but that’s not what he was saying last year:

He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them. Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’

BTW, don’t shoot the messenger. There are discrepancies in his story that the MSM won’t ask him about but that won’t stop the Internet from asking. We’re not in the tank for him and have legitimate questions.
Update: Here is an alternative view of the facts.
