With a name like Barack Obama, which is a Muslim name does he stand a chance in the presidential run? I mean we are still in the same America that voted for one of the most right winged presidents, George W. Bush. In a country like America that tends not to be open to candidates that are not Christian does a African American man with a Muslim background stand in chance in the upcoming elections? President Kennedy had a difficult time running and when he won he became the first Catholic president. Even though Barack Obama is a Christian his Muslim name and skin color might have a strong effect on his presidential bid. A situation like this shows how closely knit politics and religion are.
