Germany’s protestant church has secured a coup: Barack Obama will address the annual assembly to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. It could be Obama’s first major appearance since leaving the presidency. […]

The former president can likely look forward to a warm welcome in Germany, where he still enjoys a favorable reputation despite revelations that the NSA once tapped Chancellor Merkel’s cell phone under his watch.

Oops. Left this off

Obama: “So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.”

FALSANI: Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA: Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

The fact that “Germany’s Protestant Church” has picked him for their speaker, is very telling about the Protestant church there. Sad, sad.

FALSANI: Do you pray often?

OBAMA: Uh, yeah, I guess I do.

Its’ not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

FALSANI: Do you try to take some time for whatever, meditation prayer reading?

OBAMA: I’ll be honest with you, I used to all the time, in a fairly disciplined way.....

When you worship a leftist, secular, media-managed politician and fake Christian, it shows you are fake too.

Who's paying Obama's speaking fee? Did the letter go out yet.....asking for a donation to the Obama foundation?

Did Obama open a Bill Clinton pass-through account in French Polynesia? Deposits are emptied the same day....money whereabouts unknown.

It's becoming clearer that Obama's NSA tapped Chancellor Merkel’s cell phone might have had a financial motive.

==============================================

Some observers believe the German government has some explaining to do for the Clinton Foundation donation that appears under the heading “Donors and Grantors”.

“Why does a German Ministry support the election campaign of a U.S. presidential candidate?” blogged Vera Lengsfeld — former civil rights activist and German parliamentarian. “It seems German taxpayers unwittingly financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.”

==============================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE--- Billybooboo's infamous "WJC LLC" pass-through account....funds deposited then emptied the same day. Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved.

Funds passing through Billybooboo's WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts, (b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

==================================================

Those offshore accounts (and those actually incorporated in other countries) will be especially prone to abuse.

Just a simple test for Hussein Obummer:

Would Hussein rather hear:

1) Kate Smith sing God Bless America or
2) Muslim Call to Prayer

Answer: Hussein said the “Prettiest Sound in the world is The Islamic Morning Call To Prayer”

End of Story!
