But he blows off the national day of prayer and still doesn’t attend a Christian church. Any doubt that this guy is a Moooslim? (Next - a minaret at the White House?)

There's is no way in *&^*^%% I'm going to watch him celebrate that holiday. So is he going to bring in the Rosh Hashana in three weeks, I think not.

Elections have consequences. I think a big a hint about where this man’s allegiances were was his name. The voters of this country are freaking clueless. None of this should come as a surprise.

I wonder if he will mention his Muslim upbringing, and then John McCain will rush the stage and say that it’s not fair to bring it up.

(An old joke, but a good one.)

“So is he going to bring in the Rosh Hashana in three weeks, I think not.”

Right, and he’ll broadcast it too.

Aw, that's nice. I noticed dubie’s comment and agree. It's a shame he couldn't pencil the National Day of Prayer in — cause afterall, we don't just pray for the religious right Christians, we pray for EVERYBODY in this country and those who run it. Shame he couldn't manage to join us. I'm feeling the snub more and more recently.

Did he become a member of his newest church:
The First Church of the Perpetual Narcissist- the local gym with mirrors?

The only good side to this would be if Michelle starts wearing a burqua - without the boob belt.

People were sick of seeing him on TV constantly. The less I see of him the better.
