“I’m a Christian. But my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims.” – Pres. Barack Obama, Cairo speech, June 4, 2009
Describing in his Cairo speech today his father’s relation to Islam, Pres. Obama pulled off the rare double-fudge, simultaneously suggesting less and more than the truth of the matter. I think I know why. So let’s desconstruct. Obama could have simply stated “my father was a Muslim.” And that would appear to be the truth. AP’s Jennifer Loven, largely considered an Obama fan, has straightforwardly written: “his father and grandfather were Muslims.”
But he chose instead to say that his father “came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims.” That might seem to suggest that his father had not been a Muslim himself. How do we explain this first fudge? I’d say it’s for domestic U.S. consumption: Obama’’s not eager to inform American voters of the fact his father was a Muslim. Did you ever hear him state it during the campaign? Clearly he’d rather not start now.
So where’s the double-fudge?

If Obama is a Christian, then I’m a Kenworth truck.
Well, OF COURSE he double-fudged. A con artist fears the truth like a cockroach fears the sunlight.
But I’m still trying to figure out some other parts of that speech. For example, who is the American Muslim that—according to The One—has received a Nobel Prize?
I’m more surprised he said he was a Christian. Or was that just a lie to the infidels? I’m not so sure he’s a full fledge Muslim but more of a It’s All About MEEEE With Muslim Leanings.
“If his father was a Muslim, then Obama is a Muslim who (he claims) became a Christian.”

Obama attended Reverend Wright’s church and became a Christian, I want to a chicken plucking and became an Eagle.
Now I plan to watch a train wreck and become a locomotive.
How about the double fudge on Larry Sinclair? Sinclair was a topic on the front of one of the tabloids they sell at the supermarket checkout aisles.
I’m standing in my garage. So, now I’m an automobile.
who is the American Muslim that—according to The One—has received a Nobel Prize?
that would be al gore of course...
teeman
it is funny, really.... al gebra, al cohol, al gore...
Was it a double-fudge for us or for Muslims? A convert from Muslim can receive a death penalty. A convert from Muslim is a bigger affront.
Obama has to tread lightly on his Muslim birth and education. Any Muslim converting to another religion, even to Rev. Wright’s hate America lunacy, is seen as an apostate and to more fanatical Muslim teachings is worthy of death for betraying the only true religion.
What is a double-edged fudge, Packer?
I noticed yesterday that the media, at least the radio station I was listening to, made a point to inform us that during a military review O’Bama attended in Saudi Arabia there were swords and fixed bayonets.
Inference?
The second worst moment for me was talking about the 1200 mosques here and the tolerance we as a society show; this from a man who just left Saudi Arabia where not ONE church, Hindu temple or synagogue is allowed. Yecchhhh...
Unintentionally-funny thread bump.
“during a military review O’Bama attended in Saudi Arabia there were swords and fixed bayonets”
but at Annapolis, no one could carry a ceremonial sword.
Perhaps TJ had it for opposition research.
Exactly!
1 John 4 gives us a test,
and Barry has failed that test.
He has not stated that Jesus Christ is God who came to earth in the flesh.
As such, we must assume that he is speaking as a representative of “the spirit of error”.
Is unknown, as we have never seen a birth certificate, even then the father listed may not be the true father. His mother was a leftist rounder, who took little part in his upbringing.
