Ol’ Teddy was pretty rigorous himself. I don’t think any other president could have withstood the physical rigors he put himself through on his trip up an uncharted river in the Amazon jungle for instance. Almost killed him and would have killed just about anyone else his age.

oh I thought you were talking about Teddy Kennedy. just replace “Amazon” with “Chappaquiddick”

Why would a muslim go to a Christian Church?

Slick marketing. Keeping up appearances. Bamboozle-pa-looza. The usual.

It is quite amazinv, that the Sunday after he wins the presidency, he doesn’t feel the need to go to church and thank God.

He doesn't need to go to church, to thank God, I think he believes he is god.

The church is discovering that it was just a means to his ends; like liberalism, racial diversity and even Marxism. Obama venerates only Obama. Get used to it.

“Walk into to any church in this nation and your hand will be shaken, you will be handed a bulletin and you either find a seat or someone will lead you to one. “

Exactly. Even if you’re on vacation, they’ll be glad to let you sit in for services that day.

A sign outside of a church I went to this evening said:

Join us for services. No prior experience necessary.

This dig at the Catholic Church didn’t go unnoticed.

I am not at all “certain that he would be welcome to receive Communion”.

There may be some surprises here for all concerned—including BHO.

Nothing is surprising about this. He attended Wright’s church not for his own deep, personal faith in Jesus Christ, but to foster and bolster political alliances and add some stature to himself among the black community in Chicago. Everything about him, every policy position he has ever taken, shows anyone with any degree with Christian faith that he is NOT filled with the Spirit of Christ and he only states that he is because it gets him where he wants to be politically.

No person of faith could stand for the willful suffocation deaths of innocent babies, the slaughter of our soldiers and innocent Iraqi citizens as a result of a withdrawal from the war, stealing money from Americans in the form of “redistributing wealth,” or surrounding himself with America haters and Jew haters.

Also added to this is the fact that he in a state of self-worship, believing his own hype.

Maybe the question people are going to start asking is, “Have you accepted Barack Hussein Obama as your personal lord and savior?”

That was no dig at the Catholic Church. That was an admonishment to the American Catholic bishops who allowed Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and the rest of the abortion catholics to receive Communion at the Papal Mass.

I am not at all “certain that he would be welcome to receive Communion”.

Recent history says otherwise.

Recent history says otherwise.

That would be far better than the most likely answer. My guess is that he prays five times a day facing Mecca, and that he worships in secret until he thinks he can get away with attending his Mosque on Fridays.

I think he is too pro-abortion to be a muslim. Even if you would say he had to be pro-choice in order to win as a democrat, I would say born-alive is a pretty extreme position and not politically necessary.
His mother was an atheist commie, she raised him and that’s what he is.

Your reasoning makes sense. I hope you're right ... hard to believe I'm hoping that the next president of the United States is an athiest commie!
