Is Barack Obama a muslin?

In: US Presidents, Barack Obama, Nobel Prize Winners [Edit categories]

Answer:

Absolutely not. Nor is he denim, cashmere, or any other type of fabric. He is a human being, not a finely woven type of cotton.

Other qualities that prove that the President of the United States is not muslin:

Whereas muslin peaked in popularity during the late 18th century in France, Pres. Obama peaked in the early 21st century in the U.S.¹
Muslin can be used as a handy filter for fine wines, but pouring wine on President Obama will not filter the sediments from your wine and will likely land you in a rather sticky situation with the Secret Service.
While muslin is typically a white, unbleached cloth, much has been made of the fact that Barack Obama is black. In fact, Obama's race was so contentious to many Americans that they were led to fabricate and propagate rumors about him in order justify their discomfort with a black president. One of these rumors is that Obama was a secret Muslim.² Despite the fact that Obama is a practicing Christian, a fact affirmed by his campaign, himself, the media, and his history, these rumors evolved into a potent smear campaign during the 2008 election.

¹While muslin and President Barack Obama both maintained popularity elsewhere in the world, these were their primary markets.
²It should be noted that being a Muslim is not illegal nor does it disqualify one for the presidency
