President Barack Obama dismissed a recent poll showing that a third of Americans don’t know he’s a Christian – and blamed an online campaign of misinformation by his conservative enemies for perpetuating the myth that he’s a Muslim.
“I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead,” Obama told NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, sitting under a tent in a rain-soaked New Orleans, where he commemorated the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
“The facts are the facts. We went through some of this during the campaign — there is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly,” said a visibly annoyed Obama, referring to “birthers,” who have waged a guerilla campaign questioning the validity of his Hawaiian birth certificate.
“I will always put my money on the American people, and I’m not going to be worried too much about what rumors are floating around there.”
A stunning 18 percent of Americans identify Obama as Muslim, according to a Pew poll released earlier this month. Only a third identified Obama, who speaks passionately about his faith in his autobiography, as Christian.

So is this kinda like a right wing conspiracy?
What was interesting was that they were almost sold out Saturday even though they put the magazines out on Friday. I checked several stands, the Enquirer bins were almost full. The checker confirmed that the Globe was selling like hot cakes. I hope people that normally don't pay attention are reading this stuff.
We need to keep up the pressure. He will collapse like Carter, hiding in the White House in 2012.
Darn it, what did I miss?! :/
Bikk
Why didn’t he ask him why he has it sealed? Too scared to I guess.

A “Christian” steeped in the racist and genocidal “black liberation theology” inculcated by his “former” mentor, Reverend Wright!

or the BC could say that someone else is his father which would make his 2 books total lies.
At least he wouldn't be a British subject...so there's that.
He certainly does. And so do the Journolistas from Politico.
Ummm, I think it's more questioning the EXISTENCE of a Hawaiian birth certificate.
Good question, and perhaps a hint into why he won’t release the bc.
Is this a freudian slip on his part, indicating that he associates his vital records with the religion question?
Strange.
His saintly wife and pure-as-snow minister, no doubt.
Not all churches/denominations provide baptismal certificates. I do not have one.
It's a narcissist thing.
Keep talking smack Barry..... people are deserting you and your ugly mug
I don't know Kingwood, but I do know that sometimes people boobytrap "their" images and write the HTML to post foul pornography to punish people for "stealing their bandwidth" by hot linking to the original source.
Not the first time I've seen it happen on FR.
It looks like that's what happened to Kingwood (who is no longer with us, and may not even know why)
yeah... he spends all of his time AND MONEY making sure that NOBODY sees it AT ALL!!!!
We don’t care where you were born Obama!!! YOUR STILL A FRAUD!
You could have been born at the feet of the Statue of Liberty, and it still doesn’t make you a Natural Born Citizen.
You have your daddy to thank for that.

24 Why isn't Barack Obama still a member of the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why isn't Michelle Obama still a member of the Illinois bar, after only about four years of practice, and where are all of the relevant documents?
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
I am a birther, and I stand shoulder to shoulder with you and all other birthers in pursuit of the truth.
He is starting to unravel, this is the beginning. He is in the whirlpool of confusion one vector going one way on the issue of his birth certificate, the other going opposite on his faith (or lack of).
I hope he spins off into space like a top flying off a table top.
