Caldwell, who said he has known Obama for years, said the president is a Christian who prays every day.Related:"Obama went on vacation at Martha's Vineyard and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." Posted by Kate at August 19, 2010 9:56 PM
Obama is a secular humanist who, like Hillary Clinton, hasn't prayed a single day since taking office unless someone was watching. And then it was all just an act.
They don't believe in God at all. The believe only in themselves and their amoral socialist philosophy.
Posted by: POWinCA at August 19, 2010 10:12 PMOf course he prays every day - four times and facing towards Mecca...
Posted by: Aviator at August 19, 2010 10:14 PM"He prays every day."
Yeah, that's right - he prays he doesn't get caught.
Posted by: EBD at August 19, 2010 10:15 PMAnd how many vacations has he been on now?
Posted by: Louise at August 19, 2010 10:34 PMCaldwell reminds me of the blog commenter who "knew" that Barack Obama was one of the ten top minds in the world these days. Credibility in both cases = ZERO
Posted by: Robert W. (Vancouver) at August 19, 2010 10:44 PMI doubt if he's a Christian; his 20 year long attendance at the Rev. Wright's Black Liberation Theology 'church' is less about Christianity and primarily about anti-white and anti-americanism. And it was primarily due to his wife's commitment to those two perspectives.
Obama is emotionally tied to Islam, having been brought up in that faith until he was ten, having attended a Muslim school, and living within a Muslim environment. The call to prayer of Islam, Obama said, is 'the sweetest sound'.
But he himself, I suspect is as noted above, secular (I'd hardly call him a humanist); his faith is only in himself as Himself.
He prays everyday? What an empty statement. Notice that Obama hasn't attended a church since leaving the Rev. Wright's congregation.
But what is astonishing is the upsurge in questions about 'who, what, and why' is Obama. All questions that ought to have been asked three and two years ago. Now - finally, they are being asked. The American people are waking up.

Posted by: puddin n pie at August 19, 2010 10:51 PM“Last year, Obama gave you goose bumps, but I don’t think you’re going to see that this year,’’ said Alex McCluskey, co-owner of the Locker Room, who sold more than 4,000 “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts last year. But so far this year, he said, his hot item is T-shirts of former President Bush asking, “Miss me yet?’’
That ought to take the ego down a notch.

Posted by: Billybob at August 19, 2010 11:38 PMIf I may be so bold I think he does pray everyday. I think when you worship yourself however it is idolatry or worshipping false idols or something.
Posted by: Speedy at August 19, 2010 11:45 PMIf He was actually a Christian who 'prays daily' He would probably have found a Christian church at which to worship by now. If He was actually a Christian I doubt that He could have stomached sitting for 20 years in a pew in 'Rev' Wrights Black Victimology Temple. If He was actually a Christian He would probably demonstrate it through His actions rather than have His staff claim it on His behalf.
Posted by: Enkidu at August 19, 2010 11:45 PMI don't think say "Oh my Gawd" and using HIS sons name as an explicative counts as praying.

Posted by: Dave in Pa at August 20, 2010 12:17 AMWhen the smoke clears, Barry will do some really hard praying. Right now, as EBD has earlier said, he is praying that the smoke screen stays in place before the crap really hits the fan and he will have to look himself in the eyes and wonder what he has done to the USA and the world.
Kind of a Judas Iscariot moment, me thinks. Wonder if he will think the "thirty pieces of silver" will have been worth the destruction he will have wrought?
Posted by: glacierman at August 20, 2010 1:15 AMLet's see if I have this right. He was raised a Muslim until ten years of age. Now he attends a Christian church and calls himself a Christian.
From a Muslim perspective that would make him an apostate.
In which case visiting Muslim countries, or even being around Muslims would be a little risky.
Or is he still a Muslim at heart and engaging in the Koran approved practice of deceiving the Infidel?
I've no conclusions about Obama's personal theology, but yes, I'm missing George W. big time.
Posted by: Larry at August 20, 2010 1:29 AMYeah... if he really left Islam they would have placed a fatwa on this clown already. But those guys know that deep down inside Obama is still on their team.
Posted by: Slim at August 20, 2010 1:36 AM"Obama is the Christian son of a Kenyan Muslim father and a Kansas mother. From age 6 to 10, Obama lived in predominantly Muslim Indonesia with his mother and Indonesian stepfather. His full name, Barack Hussein Obama, sounds Muslim to many."
A Christian son of a muslim father? If that were so he would be dead.
A muslim stepfather? Just because his mother is from Kansas don't make her Dorothy and he sure aint no Christian.
And ya, his name doesn't just sound muslim, it is muslim.
If this guy has a faith that he follows it is muslim. Christians, and I'm talking about Christians, not church players, do not have his values set.
No, this guy, if he is not muslim, is just as evil.
Posted by: Smitherenzes at August 20, 2010 2:10 AMLarry beat me to the big zero's being a muslim when young (Indonesian school document listing his religion). As Larry noted, Obozo should be considered an apostate and the standard enlightened way that muzzies deal with apostates is to kill them. The fact that he hasn't been the subject of a fatwa indicates that Obozo is using taqiyya to pretend he's Christian.
His practice of taqiyya would make any oath he made to defend the US constitution invalid and would be an interesting avenue to pursue for impeachment. OTOH, promising a group of khat-addled fundamentalist Somali's a big pay off if they offed an apostate might be a more direct way to deal with the #1 problem in the US; the fact that no assassination attempts have happened suggests that leaders of islamic countries know the previously secret nature of Obozo's real religion.
Posted by: loki at August 20, 2010 3:23 AMSo, he's saying he's a Fundmentalist Evangelical Christian?
Posted by: grok at August 20, 2010 8:56 AMImagine the headline if PM Harper was reported to pray "everyday". Just sayin'......
Posted by: RITFW at August 20, 2010 9:20 AMPraying 4X a day -- how does he even fit in vacation time? He has to awefully efficient. ;)
Posted by: Gobi Desert at August 20, 2010 9:38 AMMaybe Barry does pray every day; but how do we know to which God he prays?
He's, apparently, stopped going to church because he doesn't want to be seen as partisan. Huh? For someone who talks a lot about religious freedom, he's got some crazy notions.
If he were a Christian, he'd not only pray every day, he'd worship every Sunday as part of a Christian community.
I'm skeptical, Barry, and I'm from Missouri: Show me that you're a Christian. So far, I'm not convinced.
Posted by: batb at August 20, 2010 9:41 AM"But he himself, I suspect is as noted above, secular (I'd hardly call him a humanist); his faith is only in himself as Himself."
Well said,ET!
I believe most politicians today are secular,although they were probably baptized as a baby in one church or another, just as I was.
The claims of religious belief by so many of them is blatant pandering to the religious constituency,and IMHO has as much credibility as the oft repeated claim,"yes,I tried marijuana in college,but I never inhaled".
Posted by: dmorris at August 20, 2010 9:58 AM-Born, raised and schooled by muslims. Check
-Married to a white/America hating wife. Check
-Both attended a christian church presided by a white/America hating priest for many years. Check.
-Attended, studied and affiliated with the most radical, far left teachers and similar scholar friends and acquaintances. Check.
-Studies specialized in American laws and its Constitution. Check.
Question: If Obama had attended a muslim mosque with an equally American hating preacher instead, would he have made it POTUS, even with MSM coverup? DOUBTFUL...Would it have made it more difficult for him to even be Senator or other political avenues? Very likely.
With such checked bullet points and that speculatively nefarious question about his choice of church (But with the same type of hateful preaching) it is no wonder there is so much mystery, perception and conspiracy theories surrounding this man.
Even his legitimacy to serve as US Prez is still questioned and as far as I have been studying it, not proven yet.
Conclusion:
Is Obama's heart in American values? Very doubtful.
Does that make Barrack Hussein Obama a dangerous President? Absolutely.

Amen. 'bama reminds me of fellow I used to work with who cosied up to rich old ladies in the hope that they'd write him into their wills.
One of the old girls remarked that she liked him because "il est un bon Catholique". Little did she know that he was a member of the United Church of Canada.
One of my co-workers remarked that, if the old girl had been Jewish, this fellow would have endured circumcision if it would have improved his chances of getting her dough.
'bama - like a host of other politicians - is in the same category: a Christian of Convenience.
Posted by: Jamie MacMaster at August 20, 2010 10:23 AMI seriously doubt that Obama's religious in any way, although I'm sure he's more sympathetic to the Islamic world than he is to the West. He's a radical-leftist academic activist type, and those guys are not into religion.
I believe he attended Wright's church for years and years simply for the traction it must have given him with segments of the local black community. (When I brought up the Wright controversy before the election with an American prof. I know who voted for Obama, he simply assumed in an off-hand way that Barack's "religion" was a matter of cynical political maneuvering, and I agree.)
Remember, Obama's not a brother; he's a man with no roots who chose to portray himself as a brother. If you're obsessed with race, and apparently everyone is, this stuff matters big time. I'm sure he didn't object Wright's "God D@mn America" routine, and positioning himself as a black hate-honky community-organizer wouldn't have harmed him with his more sophisticated Alinkyite peers; but when you watch Wright on camera the man comes off as a giddy, vain, strutting little attention-hog. A cold, poised narcissist like Obama would naturally despise Wright, and probably naturally despise his congregation too.
Might be Michelle's bag, though. That wouldn't surprise me somehow.
Posted by: Black Mamba at August 20, 2010 10:28 AMI wonder why EVERY article about Obama has 'incorrectly' in its title.
"3/4 incorrectly believe that Obama is a marxist"
"2/3 incorrectly believe that Obama is a muslim"
Who has made media judge and jury?

Aaron - The way the media is spinning this is interesting. The tone is almost as though this 'incorrect' view is in some way derogatory , i.e., being muslim. I'm surprised they're not throwing out the Seinfeld line "Not that there's anything wrong with that".

Posted by: RITFW at August 20, 2010 12:39 PMBlack Mamba has it summed up well.
The only thing is, Obama himself said it was Dr. Wright who led him to the Lord Jesus Christ. That certainly wasn't catering to Muslims and wouldn't endear him to them.
The relationship Obama had with Dr. Wright was longstanding and obviously very meaningful at a personal level also. After twenty-some years of not replacing it with another must leave a huge void in his life and his family's. That means no pastor, no teacher, no worship with a church family for nearly two years. It takes a lot of vacations and golf to fill that hole.
Allah is not Jehovah, nor is he the God Christians know through the trinity. If Obama embraced Jesus as His Lord (which he himself said), then he can't be a Muslim. If his prayer is praying to God as our Father, then he can't be a Muslim.
Four years of not attending church to worship with a congregation sounds an empty Christian life, but Fox News last night reminded everyone of how very rarely Pres. Reagan attended public worship.
Until Obama denies Christ, then I'm not sure how anyone can be certain he is at heart actually a Muslim.
Posted by: gellen at August 20, 2010 1:16 PM
Who gives a flying fig what religion the political leader of another country is?
All that matters are his/her actions in that job, and on that note Obama has been a disaster for the future of his country.
Posted by: tim keefe at August 20, 2010 2:01 PMIf Obama said he was a moose, the New York Times headline would be, "Americans Blind! Say they can't see President's antlers".
