Thanks for the link. I’m happy to know my B.S. meter is calibrated correctly.

Never trust snopes on anything remotely political in nature. They are a hard core lefties and always accept the liberal spin on any political issue.

Snopes is a liberal site that held off on calling Hillary a liar over the Sir Edmund Hillary quote for years, they ventured that maybe her mom lied to her...

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a radical Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school.

Barack Obama has not "admitted" to being a Muslim, nor has any evidence been produced demonstrating that he is, or ever was, a "radical Muslim." (As with everything else in the e-mail quoted at the head of the page, this is asserted as "fact" despite a complete lack of supporting evidence.) "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim," Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said. "As a six-year-old in Catholic school, he studied the catechism." Barack Obama has been associated with the United Church of Christ since the mid-1980s, describes himself as a Christian, and says that he is "rooted in the Christian tradition."

Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering — Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.

Snopes OMITTED (lied by omission?) the detail that Obama's school forms identify him as a muslim. It is one of those funny facts that didn't get expunged from the historical record so it just isn't mentioned at all in this Snopes listing.
