One of my best childhood friends was a muslim.
Of course Barack is really not a muslim. His father was.
But it is hard for me to accept even the son of a muslim
as the ultimate leader of my country, the great USA.

3. Why is the US so great?
Is it because we can kill the fastest and the most?

This kind of nationalism is dangerous, and it leads to racism. His father is Muslim? So? Clinton's father was a life-ling Republican and organizer on College campuses. So, we shouldn't vote for her.

Here's another racist statement your comment made me think of: "I'm okay with blacks, but I wouldn't want my daughter marry one." I have a muslim friend, but I wouldn't want a son of a Muslim running the country? Tell your friend that, and see what he thinks.
