July 16 (Bloomberg) — The cover of this week’s New Yorker magazine may explain why Barack Obama isn’t reaching out to Michigan’s Muslims.

Muslim- and Arab-Americans represent 4 percent of the vote in Michigan, a battleground in this year’s election. Yet Obama, who has held 13 events in the state during the presidential campaign, hasn’t visited a mosque or met with Muslim leaders

Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News in Dearborn, complained that Obama’s arms-length approach demonstrates that he views Muslims as “a liability.”

    Well Barack Obama is Christian not Muslim, he announced it and pledged alligance to the American flag.

    Of course he does. Why did he get all pissy at the New Yorker cover? Does he not understand satire?

    To Obama, any support is good support. You can tell by the way he focuses on the children of this country even though they aren’t old enough to vote.
