Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school." Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical.

Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!



From Snopes.com. I would attempt to be sworn in on this piece of paper.

having a Muslim POTUS (as unlikely as that is)

Talk to me in 2100, if I'll still be alive.

Dude, I doubt it. They don't constitute a significant number in the US Population, whereas African Americans and Hispanics do. A Jewish President has been possible for sometime, but it hasn't happened, because there is no real contenders who could run. We haven't even had an Italian President. Plus, (sadly) there is an enduring national prejudice that won't go away for a long time.  Anything's possible, but it is very unlikely.

I would take an oath on Quran, because:

1. It's pretty interesting book, just like bible
2. To make assholes like Virgil Goode have a heart attack

Joe Lieberman and Eliot Spitzer could have made good Jewish Presidential contenders. Lieberman if Gore won in 2000 and Spitzer if he did not sleep with some hoes. Fiengold and Giffords could be good presidential contenders in the future. BTW, isn't the Muslim population of the U.S. growing? I think that it's possible (though by no means guaranteed) that we'll elect a Muslim as President in this century. According to Muslim law, since Obama's dad is a Muslim, Obama is a Muslim as well.

You are totally correct. I think there is a good chance Jon Hunstman gets elected President sometime in the future.

I think you're mistaking Islam for geneder-flipped Judaism.

The only Jewish contender in the field is Feingold, and he doesn't seem interested. The population is growing, but not enough to make it feasible. Estimates put it from 3 Million to around 6 Million. I don't see any long term growth, Europe is a more popular destination.

Obama is not a Muslim.

True, but I was referring to Mitt Romney. Huntsman would be fine, also. Smiley

or a Jewish POTUS swear upon the Talmud. 

That likely wouldn't happen.  A Jewish President would still swear in on an Old Testament.

As a secularist I wouldn't swear on a religious book. If it was the Scottish Parliament, I'd swear on the Scotland Act that established it. If I could be frivalous, maybe a work by David Hume.

I wouldn't try to be elected, then I don't have to think about it. Though, I don't see this as particularly necessary.
