Amid Crises, President Obama Prays 'a Lot'
ABC News ^ | March 30, 2011 | Devin Dwyer

President Obama says he's been doing "a lot of praying" in recent weeks while faced with tough choices on Libya and other crises at home and abroad.

"I am praying that I'm making the best possible decisions, and that I've got the strength to serve the American people well," he said in an interview Tuesday with ABC News' Diane Sawyer.

....Despite Obama's public professions on religion and spirituality, many Americans continue to doubt the president's faith.

Nearly one in five Americans incorrectly believes that Obama is a Muslim, according to a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released late last year.

The poll found the number surveyed who knew correctly that Obama is Christian actually declined, from 48 percent in March 2009 to 34 percent in August 2010. Forty-three percent of Americans now say they don't know what Obama's religion is at all.

The president has defended against the skepticism, and said that his faith has helped him endure the difficult questions....

I am praying

Facing east, with his rear end up in the air, 7 times a day. (The god of darkness has been good to him.)

Forty-three percent of Americans now say they don't know what Obama's religion is at all.

One FReeper (I don't remember who) summed it up about as cleanly as anyone: "Obama is very likely a 'cultural' muslim, which means he abides by and respects the cultural and societal aspects of islam, but spiritually is probably an atheist."

Someone better tell Hussien that Ramadan is not a Christian holiday. He keeps celebrating with Muslims every year. WTF?

Who says they're incorrect? According to the Koran, it's OK to lie while engaging in jihad.

I heard him say he was Muslim with my own ears...and his school application in Indonesia lists him as a Muslim, I believe.

Does he hear or see any evidence of an answer back? Nothing he has done has truly prospered other than his grasp on power. I suspect that answers my question.

Muslims pray 5 or 6 times a day. If Obambi is facing Mecca when he prays then he's Muslim.

Another sign is the use of a prayer rug.

Yep. Me too. The reporter he was talking to quickly "corrected" him.

We also know he's been to all the 57 states - The Organization of the Islamic Conference has 57 member states.

How do you prove what you believe in?

Many people go to their church every Sunday, and for 1-3 hours they appear to be devout Christians. But, as soon as their foot hits the sidewalk outside of that church, they are backstabbing, lying, cheating, swindlers.

I see it all the time where I live. Utah even recently was FORCED to pass a law that makes using your church affiliation to scam fellow members a separate offense you can be charged with.

As far as we know, Obama could be a Christian - he just ‘forgets’ the message when he leaves the building. Then again, look who he has opted to choose as his teacher.

Prays 5 times a day that he doesn’t get caught until his mission of destroying this country, is accomplished.
