What was Obama doing in Somalia?
Who was he meeting with and why?
Was this during our soldiers' duty to protect food from the warlords?
Can he explain his church's association with Nation of Islam goons?
Why did he choose to become a member of and stay a member of that strange church for over 16 years?

Good....

Good questions I am not sure how many people will address and answer these questions rather than argue and fight with you about them. But good topic of conversation. Truly one can only speculate the true and real answers behind his actions but it would be good to hear why they think.

1. Don't know
2. Don't know
3. When he was in Somalia might answer your question.
4. First, why does any candidate have to explain his or her religion? Is Hillary explaining her connection to right wing christians? Also, what association, specifically are you referring to, and what proof do you offer that any association is anything more than cursory?
5. since when is the United Church of Christ strange by any definition other than your myopic view? Maybe he became a member because it offered the message of Christ to him.

Maybe, now, you can answer more specific questions about your candidate. Or will you, like the other Clinton supporters here, refuse?

1. Exactly what did Hillary do to stop the union busting tactics of Walmart while she was on their board?

2. Exactly who did she represent as clients when she was a member of the Rose Law firm?

3. Why is she for the death penalty?

4. Why hasn't she denounced the roving wiretaps and limiting of habeas corpus that started under her husband's administration?

5. Exactly what foreign crisis has she dealt with and had an impact on in a way which shows her experience to lead us in this world?
  
? you mean BILL and Somalia?

Bill Clinton sent troops into Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993 in an attempt to capture a local warlord. That operation included the "Blackhawk Down"* incident and was a miserable failure and embarrassment to the U.S.

WHY? Perhaps because he is not as smart as some people think that he is.

What was Clinton doing in Bosnia? Scouting out new locations for Wal-Marts?

What was McCain doing in Baghdad?

If you're going to make some kind of accusation, stop hiding behind inane questions and state your case.
