So far everything stated is mere theory, supposition based on lack of information, most of which would be available if seriously researched (such as college loans, stated income, and so on).

I believe the short of it is that while Obama's family was middle class, it was at the higher end of that. Obama himself, as one would expect from a best selling author and senator with a Harvard education has done well for himself. A harsh reality of American politics is that poor people don't run for high offices, so that's fairly unexceptional. And I'll point out that the McCains are worth several multiples of the Obamas, so not voting for Obama because he can afford things is a bit strange in my opinion. And I believe there have been some allegations against Cindy McCain's fortune with much more evidence behind them.

As for purchasing property, it was clearly a favor from one friend to another. If I had as much money as Razko, would I buy a property I could resell later for profit to make a situation easier for a friend? Certainly. Even if I were squeaky clean ethically, which Obama (by all reports) had no reason to doubt Razko was.

Religion...gah. This one drives me nuts. If - and this is a huge if, as there's NO evidence at all that Obama has been Muslim - but if Obama has to lie about his religion to be elected, I find that a MUCH sadder commentary on American bigotry than on him.

And in our current political situation, heavily invested in the future of two muslim countries, under attack by religious extremists, I'm heavily encouraged to vote for a president that has more experience with the Muslim faith than comes from college textbooks. Discounting him for his experiences with the Muslim faith and countries is comparable to refusing to hire a spanish teacher because they used to live in Mexico.
