But not only has that fact not gotten through to many Americans, the percentage of adults who believe he is a Muslim has now risen sharply after holding steady for two years, according to a new Pew poll out today. For my money, though, the real headline--and the news that should be causing heartburn over at the White House right now--is that the percentage of Americans who can correctly identify Obama's religious faith as Christian has dropped by 14 points in the past year and a half. A plurality of Americans (43%) have no idea what religion he practices.
I'm going to repeat that because this is very unusual: a year and half after Obama moved into the White House, Americans are far less certain about who he is than they were during the campaign. That isn't a good trend line for any political figure, but especially not the president. It may be appealing for an offbeat Hollywood actor or a reclusive writer to be seen as an enigma. But politics is a personal arena--voters like to feel that they can relate to a president or at the very least understand who he is. More dangerous for Obama is the fact that if a politician doesn't define himself, his enemies are more than happy to do it for him. The Pew poll is evidence that the endless conservative media cycle of misinformation about Obama is working: of those respondents who identified Obama's faith as Islam, 60% said they learned the "fact" from the media. (Note that the poll was conducted before Obama waded into the so-called Ground Zero mosque controversy.)
Barely one-third (34%) of Americans can correctly identify Obama as a Christian, compared to more than half (51%) who could do so during the 2008 campaign.(continued)

I meant the press seems to all of a sudden think it’s a big issue to convince people that he is NOT a muslim. It’s in every title by each media entity.
The rest of us made up our minds years ago.
Jounolist is gone. The current incarnation is “cabalist.” So yes, they’re still in action.
I just meant the organization/group...it is obvious they are back to their coordinating stories.
LOL!!
thanks, I needed that.
You made me think about this more: IMHO, obama whoreships one “god,” himself. After all, that and “whites are evil” is what Wright’s BLT teaches. However, within that context, he is more sunni muslim than anything else. It’s his upbringing in Indonesia...
The talking points have been distributed...even Lauren Greene of Fox News felt the need to tell me I was incorrect in believing he’s a Muslim.
Add Lauren Greene of Fox News to the mix. Totally disgusting.
Fox News is NOT conservative, it’s only slightly more to the center than the rest of the jourbalists, which makes it appear so. Anyone who thinks Shep Smith is anything but a metrosexual leftie is smoking that which is only legal in California and Amsterdam...
Metrosexual is being too kind when it comes to Sheppie.
Time magazine expects all of America to join in their “willing suspension of disbelief”. Most Americans still realize that if you walk outside in the rain you will get wet. The sky is still blue. I personally have never seen a rabbit “quack”; so I’m going to go with the thought process that if it is quacking - it is a duck. Obama walks, talks and acts like a muslim; IMO he is a muslim.
He probably believes in God - the one that he sees every morning in the mirror. There is no evidence that he needs or heeds any other God.
Note that he didn't even take the oath correctly. The first attempt, with the Bible, was wrong, and the second attempt - that was "successful" - was done in private, and the Bible was not used (perhaps the burns from the first attempt were still hurting.) It's a bit strange when the "top genius of the world" can't remember the oath or read it.
Earth to dip$shits at Time, little barry has admitted himself on national TV that he is muslim along with there being 57 states.
Obviously this writer has never attended one of Wright’s messages to know there is nothing Christian except the name.
Well, that’s what happen when “journalists” compare notes and discuss stuff in their exclusive mailing list...
“Neither is he qualified by birth to be President, as far as I am allowed to know”
....or by parentage either.....
