Obama accused of being a Muslim stumping for votes Tuesday in Greenwood, Indiana

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Sen. Barack Obama made two campaign stops early Tuesday morning, stumping for votes at a restaurant in Greenwood, Ind and outside a polling place in Indianapolis.

...

About 50 people were eating breakfast at the restaurant in Greenwood when Obama walked in at 7:40 a.m. He went from table to table, chatting briefly with patrons about the economy and gas prices before sitting down to breakfast.

One of his first encounters went poorly. He approached a man sitting alone at a table and was waved away. The man told me afterward he had no interest in meeting Obama. "I can't stand him,'' he said. "He's a Muslim. He's not even pro-American as far as I'm concerned.''

Obama seemed unfazed. He had better luck at a round table where several men were eating. They said they regularly gather there to eat breakfast and talk politics. They've dubbed the spot, "The Johnson County Roundtable.''
