In Jim Gulledge's letter in the Dec. 27 Highlands Today, he makes statements that are not true.

When Jim suggested that Oprah Winfrey endorsed Barack Obama because he is black says more about Jim than Oprah. Using that logic, Chuck Norris's endorsement of Mike Huckabee is because Mike is white.

Someone took a picture of Barack Obama standing without his hand over his heart. This photo is one out of many hundreds (maybe thousands) of pictures taken of him on the campaign trail. When he was asked about it, he said he normally does salute the flag and he does not recall and is not sure why this one time he did not. Jim, with all events where the national anthem is played, that he has attended, and with all who hate Democrats out there, they only found one situation, give me a break.

When you say that Barack Obama is a Muslim, that is not true. Barack Obama is a Christian and is a member of the United Church of Christ, he is not a Muslim. You really come across as a bigot when you say "send him back to Indonesia." Barack Obama is a born citizen of the United States. Are you saying that any United States citizen who is a member of the Muslim faith should not be elected president of the United States? I remember when a significant number of American people came out against John F. Kennedy because he was a Catholic.
