Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a prospective Republican presidential contender, said Saturday he does not know whether President Obama is a Christian.
“I don’t know,” Walker said in an interview at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, where he was attending the winter meeting of the National Governors Association.
Told that Obama has frequently spoken publicly about his Christian faith, Walker maintained that he was not aware of the president’s religion.
“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said, his voice calm and firm. “I’ve never asked him that,” he added. “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”
Walker said such questions from reporters are reflective of a broader problem in the nation’s political-media culture, which he described as fixated on issues that are not relevant to most Americans.

OBAMA:
So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place...
All these republicans should reply with a direct quote from his book, “should the political winds change,I will stand with the Muslims, something like that.
The entire interview is like that.
New Age gobbledygook and cheap suit double-talk.
God knows. However, the Bible says, “By their fruit, you shall know them.” How often have we seen the Obama family at worship services since he left Jeremiah Wright’s “church” in Chicago? What moral judgments has he made for the nation? How does he treat others?
Just sayin’…..
By definition, obummer can not be a believer that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
When he answers that he is a Christian because he was raised by his mother, and she was a Christian, tells you all you need to know about his faith or lack thereof.
Slightly better answer: “I don’t know. Why don’t YOU ask HIM?”
A high holy sacrament of the media/left is proliferating the lie that Zero is a Christian. Anyone who doesn’t agree with the big lie must be destroyed.
Walker is driving the libs nuts.
Uh, what happened to "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."?
"Rooted in the Christian tradition, my dear Aunt Fanny!"
Walker is a common sense guy.
This isn’t rocket science, you just have to play the game.
The Dems telegraphed the “war on women” meme in 2012 when journ-0-list Stephanopolus started asking about birth control in the Republican debates. Limbaugh picked up on it right away but a lot of not so savvy R candidates didn’t.
How would Jesus have answered this question?
Walker’s answer is perfect. It is the only true one any Christian can possibly give.
Why can’t we get a candidate who speaks from the heart about all issues including the fact that Obama is an evil bastard?
I’m from Mass. and the reason Elisabeth Warren beat Scott Brown is that, all though she is a lunatic, she has speaks with unbridled conviction. While with Brown you didn’t know what you had. People gravitate to leaders, good or bad.
I fear the same thing happening nationally in 2016. There are such ripe issues hanging low for some republican to just grab if he or she just has the courage of their convictions and started calling things as they are rather than trying to pander to all sides.
Warren could easily be POTUS in 2017. But she needs the Chicago Mob to make it happen.
Not sure what kind of backroom deals they have with the Clinton Crime Family.
Perfect answer. Go get em’ Mr. Walker!
That’s because he will make a great president, and set the Dims back for decades.
Sometimes it’s just fun to watch the left writhe in political agony. The tea is on me... ; )
