America went into this Muslim marriage with its eyes and extremities wide open.

"The only reason Clarence Thomas is on the court is because he's black". - Joe Biden

Agreed!

With the glowing adoration the so-called mainstream "news" media heaped upon the Obamessiah, the candidate's father's religion would not have matter a wit.

We already have term limits. They are called elections. We can & should vote out those who do not represent & serve us! - Me

 

Typical Democrat.

Lie your ass off about who you really are and what you will do to get elected.  During the campaign it was a hate crime to utter the word "muslim" in the same breath as Obama's name and now all of a sudden his past is steeped in rich muslim culture.

 

Hey Janet Napolitano...I'm proud to be a Right-winger.

If uttering the word "muslim"

If uttering the word "muslim" in the same breath as Obama's name were a hate crime, NewsBusters would have been forced to hold its annual convention at Leavenworth.

Don't blame me, I voted for

Don't blame me, I voted for Palin. McCain sucks to the core ... he couldn't even beat Bush in 2000!

I picked the second choice

I picked the second choice here...only because the msm was already so in bed for Obama that it didn't matter...as a fact they did not investigate anything about this man, his roots, his connections etc...and they still haven't.

If McC had a brain he and his team would have done all of this and brought it up, plus more about his past...a lot more.

P.S.: Palin was the ONLY national candidate with executive qualifications.

The people who voted for

The people who voted for Obama did not do so because of his religious affiliation, but for his politics.  

How wonderful that as we all preach freedom of religion in this country, we only mean it if it's a pre-approved religion?  After all, wasn't being a Mormon Mitt Romney's ultimate downfall? 

KDW

KDW,

Really? You think people voted for Obama because of his politics? What percentage of those that voted for Obama even knew his position on the issues, even the ones they held dear?  ns

I can challenge you with the

I can challenge you with the same question.  I do not know the numbers, but perhaps we can do a poll.  Don't presume everyone who voted Obama to be stupid, uneducated or ill informed.  I'm certain that the same number of uneducated Americans who voted for Obama voted for McCain.

The poll was done.

Oh come on, you can do

Oh come on, you can do better than that.  I must have missed the part where they prove McCain voters were any more educated on their candidate than the Obama voters.  12 people hardly proves accurate polling results.  Please provide a real poll that proves Obama voters didn't know Obama's position on the issues versus McCain voters.  Unless you'd just like to drop it.

If "Hope and Change" is a

If "Hope and Change" is a policy, then yes, Obama voters based their decision on policy.

When asked if he went to war with Iraq  to derail the impeachment vote:  “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).

People voted....

For Barry because he's black, and it would have been very racist not to vote for him.  The only reason he got the attention he got.

 Prove otherwise.  People were and are still scared to go against the policies in fear they will be considered racist.  You'd have to be blind to see otherwise.

Are you telling me with a name of Barrack Hussein Obama people did not know?  If that name is not Muslim it must be Irish!

NB, you post several

NB, you post several choices as if there would have been a difference.  With McCain's silence on the crap that has gone on since the first stupid liberal was elected, you can be assured that he approves.  After all, he is the defacto leader of the Republican party, isn't he? 

The last election was for dimocrat and dimocrat lite aka McCain.  I held my nose and voted for McCain hoping that Palin, a conservative, would have some influence over the liberal McCain.

We're all screwed until we get more conservatives in the Congress in 2010.  Work in your local caucuses to make this happen.  It is only a few months away.   

Obama's father could have been Osama bin Laden himself...

...and it would have made no difference to the average Obama voter, the demographic studies of which are decidedly unflattering.

Obama was not voted into office by the best and brightest among us.

-Dave

"Obama was not voted into

"Obama was not voted into office by the best and brightest among us."

You got that right!  But Obama WAS heavily promoted by some of the most conniving and unprofessional “journalist” in American History.

I don't even understand the question.  We already knew of Obama's Muslim past before the election.

→ Camelopardalis

Some time ago, our President proclaimed America is not a Christian Nation.

Now he proclaims America is one of the largest Muslim Nations in the world.

I hope you understand the spiritual significance of our leader proclaiming allegiance to a god whom less than 3% of us worship.

"The only reason Clarence Thomas is on the court is because he's black". - Joe Biden

Yeah I agree.  And so

Yeah I agree.  And so what.  It's just religion, the US would be better off without it.

Both of Barry Sotero's

Both of Barry Sotero's daddy's were muslim.  The drunk who donated the sperm, and the Sotero who adopted him and made sure he attended madrasas like any good little mohammadan would.

And NOW everyone else says.."huh?..what?...I thought he was Christian!..man we didn't see this coming"!  What religion is his brother in the hut in Kenya?  That would be muslim....and his illegal alien aunty?...muslim again....how 'bout his half-siblings in Malaysia...yep..right again, as muslim as they come.  And ol' Barry?..yeah ol' Barry is a Christian!  And don't you question otherwise! 

Why aren't the all of us on this site multi-billionaires, selling all these folks who obama fooled in this election all kinds of bridges?  A more gullible bunch has never been seen in this country up until now.  Wow!

I must be watching the wrong

I must be watching the wrong (or right) news. I thought it was common knowledge that his father was Muslim, his stepfather was Muslim, he went to Muslim school in Indonesia. I just thought it was frowned on and no one was supposed to say it so we did not appear "racist". Did some people actually not know this? Isnt it on his birth certificate? ..... oh wait.. thats right, nvm.

The Obama campaign clearly

The Obama campaign clearly thought it would make a difference, and so did his allies in the media.

Correct

The State-run media must've done some polling to indicate that to be the case.

McCain

The McCain nomination was  an unmitigated disaster for the republician party -- Obama could have worn a swastika on his sleeve and still have won

Sad but true...

and the McCain nomination? Largely orchestrated by the media, we got the nominee the libs felt we most needed.

McCain

It wouldn't have mattered who ran against Hussein . . We DO NOT have a two party system. McCain was set up to fail.

Why didn't more wake up to that fact? I voted for Chuck Baldwin and the Constitution Party.

With all

the dead, illegal and worldwide muslim monies and votes for maobama that acorn stuffed into the ballot boxes, America didn't stand a chance. Last year all I heard from the ...... supporters of the bam was "he's not a muslim he said so", some of those are now finding out he says much but honors nothing except muslim.
