(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA: Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he's also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he's also a wonderful teacher. I think it's important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
“Historical figure..bridge..teacher.”
That's the clincher. Christianity is defined by belief that Jesus is the Son of God, the Redeemer and Messiah prophesied since Adam. Obama cannot say that when asked directly. Therefore, he is, by his own inability to confess the belief, NOT a Christian.
He is also caught in a direct lie when he says his mother was a Christian. She specifically denied she was a Christian, according to her closest friend, who said she was outspokenly agnostic all of her life. Her daughter said, “We were all Muslims in our family. We hardly knew anyone who was not Muslim.” That has to include both BHO and mummy.

Curious...
You put his sister’s comments in quotes. Just wondering, do you have a source?
