Gov. Scott Walker: ‘I don’t know’ whether Obama is a Christian
WaPo ^ | Dan Balz and Robert Costa

Posted on 02/22/2015 7:24:12 AM PST by RoosterRedux

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.

Good one RR

Sometimes leftists unwittingly tell you what they fear.

Could this be that they secretly fear he is

And to cover for him and defect that he is one, they make it that only nuts think this ?

Putting it very, very mildly in a world where Russia, Iran, and ISIS all separately want to start World War III.

He might have said “President Obama claims great knowledge of Islam — so much that he feels qualified to tell the world who is a bona fide Muslim and who is not. While I understand the basic tenets of Christianity, it is not up to me to decree who is a true Christian and who is not.”

I like Walker’s discipline to just brush off anything controversial or unimportant. Eventually though there’s going to be a reel of tape showing him dodging and the YouTube world we live in will undoubtably hammer him that way.

Our candidates are in such a no win situation in today’s media environment. It will take a very savvy candidate and campaign staff to work through a two year campaign effectively enough to beat down both their opponent and the 24/7 media.

“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. “

You get the leaders you deserve. Unfortunately the majority of the people in MA are deceived consciously or unconsciously by a spirit of evil. If Scott Brown spoke out boldly against abortion, homosexual marriage, and communist economic policies, he would have received about 20% of the vote (and I think I’m being generous). Although the cradle of the revolution, a model for the work ethic, and once a bastion of Christianity, today the remnant is indeed very small in MA.

No Christian would have to have been corrected by the likes of Stephanopoulos to barky’s remark in their interview about “My muslim faith”.

What Christian could make such an error?

“So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place.”

That is a new ager or occultist talking. Something like Unitarian, Bahai faith, and wayward “Christians” . It’s clear that doesn’t take the Bible seriously. Two verses come to mind.

KJV John 14:16. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

KJV Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Great answer. Not his job to affirm Obama’s Christianity.

Stupid question. Media trap.

Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said
he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama,
where Obama told him that
He was still a Muslim,
and that he was sympathetic towards
the Muslim agenda.

IN 2001, OBAMA SPONSORED ILLINOIS SENATE BILL 750 CREATING THE “HALAL FOOD ACT’, providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/summary/920SB0750.html
This act plays into Islamization. Here’s how it works and how Halal food plays a role:
“From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply

That is the only answer. Nobody really knows what another person believes in their heart. Except for me. He’s a Muslim. :-)

Valerie Jarrett IS a Muslim, she’s Barry’s brain, she knows Barry’s innermost secrets, and she’s not talking.

I wasn’t saying Brown had to become an instant classic conservative to win. He just needed convictions that a voter would not question on important issues going into the voting booth. But the opposite was true. Day to day you couldn’t be sure where he stood on many issues. It cost him in NH because he has always waffled on gun control.

Coming back to Walker,for example, I’m concerned early on that if you asked 10 republicans what Walkers stance on illegal immigration is, you would get 10 different answers. Or most would say they aren’t sure. However a lunatic like Liz Warren will scream her nutty stances from the rooftops and leave no doubt where she stands.

He’s won and won again in a slightly dem-leaning state and enacted real reform against democrat sacred cows.
