I think that is what Trump and Cruz, independently, are doing.

“I don’t know. Why ask me that?”

It actually should be none of people's business - unless they work to cram their own religion down everyone else's throats.

Obama has sequestered taxpayer funds to push muslimism down out kids throats in our taxpayer-fuded public schools.

That is the real issue.

This is the new tactic of the thought police. If you point out certain facts that clearly dispute a claim someone in the public eye makes, you are “offending” them. You must engage and accept their fantasy.

Say “Caitlyn Jenner is a biological male” and liberals bleat in outrage like stuck pigs

Say “Obama says he’s a Christian, but his actions always favor Islam and his policies directly conflict with Christian teaching” and liberals feign outrage as if religion is something they value

Say “Not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are muslim” and they caterwaul and shout about Timothy McVeigh from twenty-five years ago

Saying Obama is a Muslim to a MSM goon opens you up to unnecessary demagoguery. It really isn’t a given that he’s a Muslim. It’s clear he’s not a Christian but rather he thinks he is or not is requires more evidence.

Why don’t you ask Obama about his eligibility? I know, it’s taboo.

“in fact, [Obama’s] antagonism to Christians has been one of the most troubling aspects of the Obama administration.”

Christians are not antagonistic to Christians. Cruz called Obama a non-Christian; you just need to digest the full statement.

I won’t speculate either but in the past most Presidents went out their way to show their faith by being seen at a church. I cannot remember anytime that O was captured going to any type of church. Except for a funeral. Can anyone else?

We aren’t running against Obama in this election (Aside from his policies.) so it’s just a MSM distraction. Cruz and Trump are keeping their eye on the ball.

They are pinheads, and don't think past the moment. Raising this issue to GOP contenders is just another in their never-ending string of attempts to put non-liberals in a bad light.

Not thinking past the moment happens to be a good strategy, because most of their audience has the memory span of a goldfish.

If we want to reopen Barry's past, we would have to revisit Wright's TUCC. Then we'd have to revisit the unsolved murder of TUCC's Choir Director, Donald Young. And if you revisit Donald Young's murder, then you have to revisit an unsavory character, lost phone records at the Chicago Police Department, and Beau Biden's phony use of extradition to Delaware of a "detractor" to the 2008 Obama campaign. But we don't want to do that, do we? It is SO 2007. But then, Speaker Hastert is suffering from his past eventually catching up with him, but them again, he's a Republican. Where is the objective press? ::::crickets::::

O I C

This was not addressed to you. It is, in essence, how Trump and Cruz are answering such gotcha questions lately:

“I don’t know. Why ask me that?”

I thought I was agreeing with you, caww...

Ask yourself - How would Obama act IF he were a Muslim?
