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 had the living room TV on and heard the liar say how much he prays. At the same time I heard my husband in the bedroom yelling and knew immediately he had the bedroom TV on and heard the same thing.

Thank you oh unbiased "news" agency - from refraining from inserting your editorial comments...
ABC has no idea what is correct or incorrect in this case. They can only state what Obama claims...

He was born a Muslim. Has he ever renounced his belief in Islam? Has he been baptized as a Christian? If not, then as far as Islam is concerned, he is still a Muslim.

Do you think he is trying to hide his Hospital BC because it lists his religion as "Muslim"?

Wait a minute, a friend of mine told me via an account with an fed. agent, that his prayer rug is in shambles. He must be using it quite extensively.

He tells us that he became a follower of Jesus Christ in the church pastored by Jeremiah Wright. Jeremiah Wright preaches liberation theology while damning America. Examine the word. Theo comes from the Greek word Theos, which means God. Ology is a field of knowledge or study. Theology then is the study of God. If anything is placed before God, whether in a Church or elsewhere, it becomes false teaching and something other than Christianity. Period. Liberation theology is a Marxist “social justice” political movement placed before God in Wright’s church. Our President spent many years there. He may have found something, but it was not Christ. When Rick Warren asked him when life begins, a Christian would have unhesitatingly declared at conception rather than declaring the answer is above his pay grade. A Christian cannot support abortion and most assuredly cannot support allowing a baby that survived a botched abortion to die. Our President supports both. There are more examples, but in the interest of space we will leave them for another time. Suffice it to say that it is like a bad rock and roll song where the doo-wops from the backup singers drown out the message in the lyrics. Some believe our President is a Muslim, but we have nothing to prove that definitively. He can call himself whatever he likes, but the evidence is clear that he is not a Christian.

Notice that the article says that 20% believe INCORRECTLY that he is a Muslim.

LOL.

It's hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

The MSM are lap dogs for Lefties and reflexively advocate instead of report.

He needs faith in a higher power but alas, he sees none higher than him.

My first pick.

The man's ability for condensation is out-sized and the sweetener for him is that we find it insulting.
