Obama visited Pakistan as a college student
April 8th, 2008 - 10:23 pm ICT by admin -Washington, Apr 8 (ANI): Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama has said that he had travelled to Pakistan as a college student.
I travelled to Pakistan when I was in college — I knew what Sunni and Shia was before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama said during a fundraiser in San Francisco.
In 1981, Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia and then travelled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there.
According to Obamas campaign, he was in Karachi for about three weeks and then visited Hyderabad in India.
Obama revealed all this while talking about his forte in the foreign policy.
“Foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain,” Obama said, according to the Huffington Post. (ANI)

It is so mystic that Obama visits Pakistan for THREE weeks and thne Hydrabad of India which is a prominent Muslim city of India. You can ask anyone in India about the Muslimness of Hydrabad. I TRULY WONDER what was that Obama looking for in Pakistan and then in the Muslim city of Hydrabad. Was he renouncing his roots of Muslim father or grand father or his step father? What was he really doing there?????

Well, gee, Gino, he wouldn’t be renouncing in those cities–more like reaffirming. If he were renouncing, he might do that at the Vatican!
