Today is the last day of Ramadan -- is that why Obama can't wear his wedding ring?
Questions | September 11th, 2010 | Myself

Posted on 09/10/2010 5:11:10 PM PDT by DontTreadOnMe2009

At his press conference, the first one in half a year among Barack Hussein Obama was seen not to be wearing his gold wedding band. Reason? Could it be that Muslims are not allowed to wear jewelry during Ramadan?

I looked at quite a lot of speculation on the Internet. As always, there is a lot of static mixed in with a little bit of commentary, from both sides. Isn't it extremely odd that he suddenly shows up not wearing a wedding ring? Doesn't he know that this will open him up to a lot of speculation? Demand has a tin ear, politically -- but we already all knew this didn't we?

So, fellow FReepers, what say you all?

**Lol....whathisface looks like Tony Curtis.**

Yes he does;)

Glad to see another FReeper has my OCD. I think John Boehner looks just like Humphrey Bogart and Mike Huckabee is Kevin Spacey’s twin brother ....but I cannot post photos.

LOL!!!! (probably driving some FReepers crazy)

Reuters Pictures 2 days ago U.S. President Barack Obama kisses first lady Michelle Obama after they both arrived in separate jets from separate locations at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, September 8, 2010.

Was the ring gold? Muslim men can not wear gold, it is considered feminine ... some Imans say they can wear a plated gold,, but the general rule is no gold

Have quite a few ramadan-observers at work, and they all have get-arounds to the ‘rules’.

Some of the males ignore it completely, all the women fast except the ones on medication or their monthly cycle but everybody is wearing their jewelry.

Arabs wear 21KT gold, not the 18KT stuff we wear.

Yes, I see that picture them eating ice cream together. I have seen many pictures of them eating ice cream together. Doesn’t everyone find this very strange? Does that not count as food if during Ramadan in the daytime you eat ice cream but never go to a restaurant for a sitdown meal? I have kids — I never fed them so much ice cream in my life as he seems to feed his. I thought the Obama family was worried about obesity? They don’t seem to be worrying about it in this photo.

And by the way I have another question that I have been asking since 2008 — why do both of his children have Russian names?

And please don’t tell me that Malia is a Hawaiian name — when I first googled it in 2008, I found 10 pages of responses all telling me that it was a Russian name.

Now, when I google it in 2010, I can’t find a single hit telling me that it is a Russian name but, and oh what a miracle it is, it has now become a Hawaiian name. Isn’t that lucky? Isn’t that fortunate? I am still looking for a Russian to ask...

I know several Iraqi Muslim families. They celebrate birthdays and buy gifts for their kids.

Well that’s true. I assume it is because they are not so hyper religious as some others are.

But you do know, don’t you, that the Obama family is very very well known for smugly announcing that they do not give birthday gifts to their children, and they do not give Christmas gifts to their children nor do they give them to each other?

This is an established fact.

How do you explain it?

Wow, separate jets from separate locations. They sure are living the high life. On our dime.

I noticed that the gold wedding ring didn’t need any repairs then...

Ice cream is food. Muslims aren’t even supposed to drink water during the daytime during Ramadan. They sure as hell ain’t eating ice cream.

Baraq is not a Muslim, at least with any level of devoutness.
He’s a materialist.
The visits to Wright’s church were for networking and street cred.

Well, since it is well known, at least by them, but they are so much better than us, I guess they need that 21 carrot gold, instead of the 18 carats worn by many people and Bugs Bunny, or 14 carats as is worn by poor people and meeting, or 10 carats or 9 carats as was worn earlier in the 20th century.

Yes, there are many Ramadan watchers out there, speculating and analyzing, and getting out those workarounds. that is true.

But if there hadn’t been so many indications, outright provocations, outright boasting and bragging about how he loves Muslims for the last three years, then all this wouldn’t be happening and it wouldn’t be necessary.

Remember when he had to cover up all the Christian symbols at Georgetown University? Who in the world would ever think of something like that, unless he was a Muslim? I certainly wouldn’t think of it — it would never occur to me, and I think it would never occur to all other politicians — only this one in all of America only this one.

“I say it is because he is indeed a Muslim. “

I am sure there are pictures of him last Ramadan. See if he was wearing a wedding ring then. That’s confirmation he is Muslim.

I haven't seen or heard of a single reason to think he isn't a Muslim.

Same with Bin Laden, I haven't seen or heard a single reason to believe he's alive, for years now. The POS was a publicity whore too.

Many posters have been adding to this list for many days, and it now has become truly gigantic. But I thought still there might be a few people who haven’t seen it — the evidence is absolutely overwhelming.

Read it for yourself — and weep.

I think he’s a road-show Muslim just like he’s a road-show black man.

What he really is inside, I don’t care. I just want him gone.

Every place I go to ESCAPE this idiot I still have to look at him or hear him. Only way to take it is to imagine him as one of the skeletor-types like in the movie They Live.
