From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."

I think both are possibilities, but someones religion should not be a factor in determining who our president is because this country is secular.
While I do not believe Obama is a "Moslem", I think his actions in the Middle East has hurt the chances of a bona fide Moslem ever becoming President. Obama has shown an incredible lack of understanding of the situation(s) in the region and lacks an real courage of his convections. When he has made taken action, it's almost always on behalf of the wrong group and/or it backfires on the US. As a result of his not thought out foreign policy and his lack of any real foreign policy or even political experience, Amercia continues to decline internally and well as in the eyes of its current and former allies. Overall, the Obama Regime has done more damage to the US than any foreign power could have ever hoped to accomplish, and from which we may never recover.
Not in the immediate future but once things in the middle east is settled and there is an end to all the propaganda and maybe even reverse-propaganda I see no reason why someone of the muslim faith wouldn't eventually be sworn into presidancy. as the "yes" side states it's about policy not faith, and the nation was founded under the notion of being secular when it comes to religion. Anyone sworn into office are required to uphold the first amendment in it's entirety (and not cherrypick portions of it to miss-represent the amendment)
