Did he say that Jesus was the Son of God? The he died for our sins and rose from dead on the third day?

Or that Jesus was a “great prophet”?

Did he say that Jesus was the Son of God? The he died for our sins and rose from dead on the third day?

Ummm.... no.

Here's more of what was reported:

...the breakfast also provided a platform for Obama to speak openly about his Christian faith, even as a small but stubborn minority of Americans believe he is Muslim.

Obama did not directly address those doubts on Tuesday, but said: "as Christians, we believe that redemption can be delivered -- by faith in Jesus Christ. And the possibility of redemption can make straight the crookedness of a character; make whole the incompleteness of a soul."

The president also said that of all the Gospel stories, Jesus' last words on the cross -- "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" -- especially resonate with him during the Easter season. "These words were spoken by our Lord and savior, but they can just as truly be spoken by every one of us here today," Obama said.

"Did he say that Jesus was the Son of God? The he died for our sins and rose from dead on the third day? Or that Jesus was a “great prophet”?"

Bingo. Jesus (Issa) is revered in Islam, too, but not as the Son of God or as any part of any sort of Trinity. I see nothing in Obama's remarks that fails to dovetail with orthodox Muslim piety towards Jesus, their non-Messiah ordinary created human (but definitely a special guy, just nothing to compare with Last Prophet PedoMo, of course).

He could have delivered these remarks in his Cairo speech and they would have not caused a blink.
