... did NOT attend Christmas (religious) services of ANY kind.
... did NOT celebrate even a secular/presents-and-ribbon christmas with his children

You mean you really don’t remember how he “honored” Christmas last year???
I think they fast by day and feast by night. How many goats have been delivered to the White House so far?
I am absolutely furious right now. I am trying to find a polite way to express my response, but there isn’t one.
SO MUCH ANGER.
Except for loving the Godzilla reference that was made. That cracked me up.
And then I went back to being very, very angry.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release August 11, 2010
Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan
On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.
Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared. But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.
These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country. And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.
I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.
May God’s peace be upon you.

Will the Cordoba House Imam be the special guest?
Looks like hussein is getting more comfortable in showing who he really is. What else is he going to reveal about himself?
And what did his “Christmas” press release read like?
His “Easter/spring break/spring solstice” press release read like?
and if you agreed with him politically you’d be calling him a “True American Hero” or a “Self-Made Man” or something else similarly worthless.
It’s only because his political philosophy is 180 degrees different from both mine and yours that you pick this “descriptor” of Obummer.
I knew obama in 2004... I started my research on him the night he spoke at kerry’s Convention in Boston. I knew by the way that the Justice Brothers were looking at him... sneering at him and talking to each other... that obama was bad JuJu... even to those two shysters. I read his interviews as a community rabble rouser and then as a corrupt state senator. I heard him speak of the "Fundamentally Flawed" Constitution... and how the left would use "health care to get the foot of socialism into our form of government". I read everything that I could find... but there is much of his life that is cloaked... intentionally and thoroughly. He garners no respect from me and none shall be forth coming.
LLS
Yeah, that’s great.
My point still stands.
I offered no proof and admitted as much. I claimed he was evil... he is... I claimed that he could be a nephew of satan... he could... you claim for certain that he is just a man. I see no evidence that proves that theory either. I know that he has an evil mind... an evil heart and that his actions to date have either been evil or promoted evil. My evidence of these things are in his writings, his actions and his words. All that I see here is that we disagree.
LLS
do you honestly think Satan or the nephew of Satan (whatever the hell that is) would be this totally inept?
He’s not called the Great Deceiver for nothing. Right now Obummer isn’t deceiving anyone.
LLS
That was Jesus.
You and I ain’t Jesus.
Not even close.
LLS
See we agree on something.....
;-)
You said: “LOL - Obama isn’t the Anti-Christ. Get a grip already.”
Are you sure? Have you studied it?
I have, and the short answer is: Dispensationalism's distinguishing claims are heretical and examples of bad hermeneutics. Dispies deny Nero as Anti-Christ even though he fit the description far better than Barry.
What I find puzzling is that you are demanding that others go "study it", but clearly you haven't even studied John's few references to an Antichrist, for in 1 John 2, we read that because there were "many antichrists" in his time "we know that we are in the last hour."
I also strongly recommend that you take a look at orthodox eschatology rather than this Tarot Card/Ouija Board Popular crap that is (thank God) mainly isolated among the biblically illiterate in the United States. There is classical Pre, Post and Amill out there to look at. Unfortunately, they aren't as exiting parlor game as the the Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey dreck that has captivated the nominal Christian.
Instead of this silly obsession with trying to identify "The" (definite article) "Anti-Christ", it would be far more fruitful to obsess on Jesus Christ.

I thought we were in another thread. Sorry.
