The internet is a powerful thing. So concludes President Barack Obama in an extensive sit-down interview for ABC with Barbara Walters, who ventures to ask the President (and the First Lady) where the rumors the President is Muslim generate their strength. While he declined to lay blame or assign motive, President Obama asserted, once again, that the rumors are untrue and that both he and his family benefit from their lives as Christians.
Opening with a question about the impact of his faith on his life, Walters asked point-blank why President Obama thought the rumor of his religious background had any staying power. Declining to address any specifics about the rumors surrounding his religion– like, for instance, how the Muslim and Jeremiah Wright attacks can somehow coexist– Obama laid blame on one particular subset of the media, the internet. “The internet has a powerful effect these ways,” he told Walters, “so the way rumors can take up a life of their own ends up being very powerful.”
He adds that “the thing that, obviously, is important to me is what I believe,” and continues to say that not only have he and his wife benefited from their religion (which, again, is not Islam), but their daughters have, too. He also shares a few adorable anecdotes of prayers their daughters say during grace, including the now-defunct prayer for a dog.

“my muslim faith, “lifelong muslim”
Not to worry. ICE will soon be shutting down all the websites that call Hussein a muslim.
Between Bush and the Internet this doofus can’t get off the ground. Whining panzy!
IMO, Obama's liberal worldview applies to his religion too.
I was a Muslim once but now I am a Christian. I thought if you renounced Islam they killed you? He must be useful to em.
by the way 0 with or without the internet you have always sided with them ... I do not think you are Muslim I think you are a enemy to the state though.
Oh that Hussein guy is a RIOT!
(patiently waiting for Jan.20,2013)
I like tweaking the left with it. I honestly don’t think he’s a muslim, he’s more of a black theologist, which is basically a marxist atheist, cloaked as a christian
The internet could be a problem for public perception, yes.
Since it’s available in all 57 states.
I guess “the internet” made him dress up in a turban and flowing robes!
That’s like blaming the library for World War II.

Talk to the Palins about this before you continue your whining, pathetic insights. And kiss my ass.
That bad old Internet. I’m surprised it isn’t Bush’s fault.
I blame Obama for why people think he is a Muslim. He sucks up them at every opportunity. Sucks up to this 6th century cuckoo religion by giving a bigass speech in Cairo. He sabotages Israel.
Obongo had the Koran drilled into him in Indonesia.
No Hussein you blame the married guy who knocked up your nit wit 17 year old mother.
