Thread: I'm no Muslim, says Barack Obama

he is getting my vote with Ron Paul coming in a close second

a black guy wont ever be president ....... mark my words.

Good for him. So far, he has my vote.

^ I like Obama, also.

As for religion, it seems this election is a battle among the candidates for the Evangelical Christian vote. Evangelicals compose a large percentage of the voter populace in several states.

A lot of focus on religion. What about the economic issues we face?

I doubt he will become president, too many people know what happend to all thouse African countries when a black man became president.

IMHO, a black president could increase the productivity of our people as a whole as well as nurture brotherhood among all but the most despicable harden racist homo white trash fagots.

I think honestly the economy is in a horrible state, this war is shit and people are sick of dusty white aristocrats screwing us all. If there is every going to be a black or woman president now is the best time for it. it isn't understanding and equality that will allow a shift in race or sex in office it's frustation and there's plenty of that. Things have been relatively quiet for several decades now and I'm not afraid to say that my generation may possibly see some serious social changes.

Don't kid yourselves.. Hillary will get the Dem's nomination. Barack won't even be in the general election, except maybe for vice... but even that I highly doubt.

It seems Obama is the only one not in the pockets.

Hillary is actually liked as a whole, by Big Business, the Military-Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, AIPAC, and other special interests, compared to Obama.

She's a part of the machine.

I think she's at the center.

The Iowa Caucuses are a joke IMO, but we'll see the beginning there, in about 2 1/2 weeks.

Obama is the boss because george ryan cant keep his cock in his pants

Whats the % on hitlerary ?

The polling has shifted in recent weeks as you likely know, with Hillary going down and Obama rising.

I think that by the end of March, the nominees for the Ds will likely be locked up because of the big states moving up in the primaries.

(But we'll have to see.)

If I were in the audience, I would have been tempted to punch the shit out of that fucking retarded question asker.

Barack Obama resists attacking voter who said it's 'important he's not Muslim'

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - Barack Obama, who has faced false rumors that he is Muslim, repeatedly refused Sunday to criticize a voter who said a follower of that religion would be unfit to be President.
"There's no doubt that there are going to be voters for whom religious affiliation is important," said Obama. "I don't know that that's the majority, but I think the main thing I want to do is just make sure that people know who I am, know my background."
Pressed again about whether the voter's remarks were bigoted, the Democratic White House hopeful told reporters, "Well, she didn't say it to me."
Obama's decision to punt rather than confront bias disappointed Hussein Ibish, executive director of the Foundation for Arab-American Leadership in Washington.
"It doesn't demonstrate a great wave of courage coming off of the candidate," the civil rights activist said. Obama's response was "a little Clintonian" - as in playing it safe, Ibish said.
With the battle for the Democratic nomination tighter than ever, it may be risky for candidates to alienate potential supporters, whatever their views.
Becky Michael, 58, of Pleasantville, Iowa, asked Obama at a coffee house stop Saturday to explain his "Muslim background," a question sparked by a false Internet-fueled smear campaign. Obama assured Michael he's a Christian and believes in Jesus as his lord and savior.
After the exchange, Michael told the Daily News, "It's not so important that he is a Christian, although I'm very thankful he is. But it's very important that he's not a Muslim."
Obama said Sunday that Michael didn't betray any prejudice to him.
"What she said to me was she was glad I was a Christian, which I'm assuming is because she's a Christian and that's important to her," Obama said. "So that's not a bigoted comment. If she said something afterwards, that wasn't within earshot of me."
Obama said the persistent falsehoods about his religion hasn't hurt him in the polls. A new Boston Globe survey Sunday showed Obama opening a 30%-28% lead in New Hampshire over chief rival Hillary Clinton.
Recent Iowa polls show a three-way battle among Obama, Clinton and John Edwards. The candidates will return there after a two-day Christmas break for a final spurt of campaigning before the Jan. 3 caucuses.
On CBS' "Face the Nation," Obama argued he is the most electable Democrat. He also pointedly said he doesn't seek to "polarize and demonize" Republicans.
"Because of the history of some of the battles that have taken place back in the '90s, it is true that she [Clinton] tends to galvanize the other side," he said.

If history repeats itsself, as it typically does...we will have a white christian male for a president.

Barack Hussein Obama's beloved church is all about inclusion and equality.

Just kidding.

"
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent.

It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

I'm pretty sure they even moved that away from where it used to be. Probably because of all the heat they were receiving for being so blatently racist. I found the page on google (still their website), but I can't find a link to it on their own website anywhere anymore. Funny.

More gems:

"We [African Americans] were always seen as objects. When we started defining ourselves, it scared those who try to control others by naming them and defining them for them; Oppressors do not like “others” defining themselves. • To have a church whose theological perspective starts from the vantage point of Black liberation theology being its center, is not to say that African or African American people are superior to any one else.
• African-centered thought, unlike Eurocentrism, does not assume superiority and look at everyone else as being inferior."



Of course not, African-American's aren't superior, but the African-centered thought is much superior to eurocentrism! Right on!

Obama is garbage for being associated with this racist trash.

What was his reason for not performing The Pledge of Allegiance when everyone else did? He looked like a tool.
