Maybe the GOP could launch another veiled attack against Barack Obama, besides being related to Indonesia, he is also related to another Muslim country, Malaysia via his brother-in-law.
It was reported that Barack's half sister, Maya, is married to a Malaysian Chinese man. Of course, most Malaysian Chinese are not muslim. The fact of the matter is those uninitiated would not have cared for this small detail.
By the way, the report that Barack campaign is distancing itself from the muslim supporters in USA didn't go down well with many muslim supporters. There maybe political consideration for doing so, but this is not the CHANGE the fair-minded ask for.
Barack, you are out there to lead the change, and not to succumb to the uninformed, uneducated prejudice or to the religious or racist bigotry not uncommon in the America.

Dear KY,
I hadn't realised he is not only Chinese but Malaysia-Chinese! His family connections is so unusual for most Americans that any rightwing attack-dogs would find something to make some hay about. For instance, one of his half-brothers is marrying a girl from mainland China. It would be interesting to see how far your blog will travel.

Dear Hui,
It didn't quite matter how far this blog travels. It serves as a good archive.
