EXCERPT
When asked if he prays himself, the president said: "I do. Every night."
He also says that he reads the Bible, and, asked to explain why so many Americans deny that he is a Christian, blamed the internet.
"Well, you know, the Internet has a powerful effect these days, and so, the way rumors can take on a life of their own ends up being very powerful," he said.

Transcript: Barbara Walters Interviews the Obamas
President and First Lady Open Up to Barbara Walters on Tenure and Family Life
BARBARA WALTERS: Are you sick of people talking about your toned arms? I noticed you’re not wearing a sleeveless dress.
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA: No, I will never get sick of people talking about my toned arms. If it’s a positive compliment, I am a woman, just, like, bring it on. I’m, I’m cool with it. But no, I, you know, I still wear what I like and enjoy, and I thought this dress is pretty.

Liar in Chief
There. Fixed it.
To whom does a self-anointed messiah pray?
Al-taqiyya
I’d like to know what Bible he’s reading. In the Greenbay newspaper, about a month ago he quited the bible. I had to read it 3 times to make sure I read what he said right. He said, “I follow what the bible says. Do unto others as they have done to you.” I couldn’t believe it. He misquoted it and made it into revenge.
quoted not quited....dang fingers.
FALSANI:
Do you pray often?
OBAMA:
Uh, yeah, I guess I do.
Its’ not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

I call B.S. on him and his Christianity.
They rarely if ever go to church.
They did not go to church on Christmas.
He said he’s a Christian because he appreciates such tenets of Christianity as being his brother’s and sister’s keeper. A statement such as this belies a great ignorance about the Bible and Christianity in general.
He might read the Bible every night, but he keeps cheering for Satan.

FALSANI:
Who’s Jesus to you?
(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.

O’Boozer had better watch out for lighting.
FALSANI:
What do you believe?
OBAMA:
I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place

I 'spose everytime he speaks the evils of the Internet will have to be conveyed since EVERYTHING he spews is politically motivated and he is dead set on controlling the Internet.
