Obama's Grandma Changes Islam Story
The Discerning Texan ^ | March 08, 2008 | Two Sisters from the Right

Posted on 07/09/2008 6:30:46 AM PDT by IrishMike

Obama's Grandma Changes Islam Story From Little Green Footballs: "Yesterday’s edition of USA Today had a story about Barack Obama’s grandmother in Kenya, in which she slams the Clinton campaign for circulating photos of Obama in Muslim garb—and then states that she is a Christian: Obama’s grandma slams ‘untruths’."

"Obama’s grandfather had converted to Islam from Roman Catholicism and taken the name Hussein, Sarah Obama said, but his children had inherited only the name, not the religion. Each person should be able to choose how they worshipped, she said. “In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents,” she said. She, too, is a Christian. Just one little problem with this statement.

In April of last year, Sarah Hussein Obama told the New York Times she is a devout Muslim.

Sarah Hussein Obama, who is his stepgrandmother but whom Mr. Obama calls his grandmother, still rises at 5 a.m. to pray before tending to her crops and the three orphans she has taken in. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” Ms. Obama, 85, said in a recent interview in Kenya. We haven't seen anything about this in the mainstream media yet, but chances are it won't receive much mention. And, if it does, no doubt there will be much said about Ms. Obama's advanced age. However, she expressed herself quite clearly on the subject of "untruths" about her grandson. One should not lie while berating other liars.

To quote Perry Mason during many a courtroom scene: "The question is, Madam.....were you lying then or are you lying now?"

You can't have it both ways, Grandma.

What of the other grandMa ???

Has the Obama campaign has been hiding Madelyn (white gramdma), while at the same time producing photos showing Obama with his black step-grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama – even though she never saw the future senator until the 1980s.

Obama stands for change.
And now we know what he wants to change.
He wants to change the subject.

So, she originally said she was a Muslim. Now she says she's a Christian. If, in fact, she has been a Muslim, claiming now to be a Christian is a very dangerous thing for her to do.

Unless ...

If a representative from her mosque goes to her and asks her to claim to be a Chsrtiain -- "It will help our Muslim brother, your grandson, get elected in the United States" -- then her pattern of claims makes some sense. Muslims are encouraged to lie if it will help their faith gain power in the world.

I think this is all very scary.

Yep, Flip Flopping seems to be part of the Anti American pro Islam Gene Pool in the Obama shallow gene pool.

"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience. This is the change he promised , This reality of his so called change, shows him to be a typical lying liberal politician."

"You can be sure there will never be any clear answers from Obama on any critical issue. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to his Obamabot cult members, who blindly follow him."

Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!

Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!

Damn Pajama Media. They won’t let me get by with my lies and flip flopping

The Associated Press was forced to issue the following correction today:

In a March 5 story about the Kenyan family of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama, The Associated Press reported erroneously that his step-grandmother is a Christian. She is a Muslim, according to the family.

There has been much confusion lately in the press about which members of Obama’s family are actually Muslim. Obama, apparently sensitive to being labeled Muslim, has said several times that he is Christian, although it is widely believed that his biological father is Muslim.

Why the Associated Press assumed Obama’s grandma, Sarah Onyango Obama, is Christian is not known at this point.

His "other" grandma, along with her husband were supportive of their daughter's (Obama's mom)embrace of all things leftist.

As they did NOT spend their time in the Heartland of Wichita, KS, but instead in the liberal confines of the Seattle area, then off to Hawaii, Obama's mom was one of the lefties of the flower children of the 1960's and mom and dad seemingly were greatly supportive of their daughter's "activities."

I believe Walter Williams wrote a piece a few months ago expressing that viewpoint. He pointed out that the color line in baseball was broken very successfully because Jackie Robinson was a great player, and very dignified. It was hard to oppose blacks in baseball after seeing how the first guy handled himself.

Obama is no Jackie Robinson.

That's an excellent statement that should made at the end every GOP advertisement from now until election day. I only wish McCainiac's entourage had enough sense to use it. Mind if I use it?

“Muslims are encouraged to lie if it will help their faith gain power in the world”

You are correct and I fear that because of all the LIES, our next pres will be a muslim.
“shudder.”

I think he has been grooming and preparing for this for MANY years, even pretending to belong to a “Christian” church.

WAKE UP FOLKS!

Our friends the Saudis beg to differ.

Each person should be able to choose how they worshipped, she said.

What an ingrate Barry is! Is he ashamed of the white grandmother who was kind enough to raise him when his mother had to work on her degree for 15 years? No president ever had the strange pedigree this man would bring to the office.
