the commie was probably observing ramadamadingdong.
I think we all know the reason he didn’t eat the ham.
Nice try: The president of the United States doesn’t go anywhere without weeks of advance planning. EVER.
The ham wasn’t Halal compliant?
Some sects and cultural differences in Christianity and Catholicism avoid pork as well. I know several Peruvian Catholics who don’t touch pork in any way.
The ham wasn’t split?
zero is a vegetarian?
I don’t get it. If there’s a piece of ham in a soup, wouldn’t the ham “pollute” the rest of the soup? So even if he didn’t eat the physical ham, he ingested ham “juice”.
he sure eats a lot of ice cream for a tall and slender guy.
I’ll go have me some ice cream with bacon bits.

... must be a Moslem.
My train of thought exactly.
Not sure if that’s exactly the reason, though. The soup could not be Kosher even after removing the ham, since the soup was defiled by the ham. Don’t know if the same applies to Halal.
It’s possible that the Kenyan usurper just doesn’t like ham.
Maybe he would have preferred dog.
Of course, dog is not Kosher, either. Don’t know if it’s Halal, though.
That’s why 0bama tells you to “eat your peas”.
He may not be a Jew but this was probably his way of trying to win back the Jewish vote :-)
Check Michelle’s Fatwa list. She may issued a Fatwa against ham.
Pretty sure I’ve seen him eating a hot dog.
Actually, neither a Muslim nor a Jew would have eaten any of a soup that had ham cooked in it. (Though I do recall Norman Podhortz once citing a rabbinic regulation about maximum levels of non-kosher contamination which are considered innocuous under Jewish law. But it had to be unintentional and I’m sure it’s exceeded even in amount by the ham in any half-decent split-pea soup recipe.)
Yes, certainly not a Jew! Obama is actually into the religion of Obama, but in his confused mind, I think he is probably draping himself in some sort of Black Muslim garb.
Neither of the main Muslim sects considers the Black Muslims to be orthodox, but Farrakhan said that he had reconciled with them (I’m not sure which one), and I bet Bambi is giving the wink-wink, nudge-nudge to this group and to the “mainline” Muslims as well.
Why mention it? Nothing published by reporters close to the admin isn’t edited by them first. The admin made sure the paragraph was there.
That’s what’s odd about it. Reporters reporting on carefully planned spontaneous events involving high profile liberal politicians is de rigeur. The ham thing though is something the admin wanted in there.
I remember the idiotic footage of Bill and Hillary trapsing on the beach, arm in arm, arranging rocks into messages of love, embracing near a waterfall. I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw that spread. People are that stupid too, to think that was anything but planned.
He said “There will be no cut in pay for the military.”
He also said “If you like the insurance plan you have now, you can keep it.”
