Obsession?

I saw a great CNN article speculating that the distribution in 28 million newspapers (in key battleground states) of a film called Obsession, was connected to theories that Obama is a closet Muslim. This is quite an interesting proposition as it would suggest the Israeli distribution company that ran this promotion believes that Obama might be a Muslim.
I have another take on this media promotion. Perhaps the promoter is sending a message to both candidates. That message is that people find the the threat of radical Islam important and we should not get caught up in only voting on economic issues. The threat of terrorism is a real one and we must let the candidates know it is important to us. It will be interesting to note the response of the candidates to this film's "sudden" and timely distribution.
