Obama claims to be Protestant EXACTLY like that list of Dem politicians you listed. If they are representative of the Catholic Church like it has been claimed ad naseum on these threads then by the same logic ya'll are stuck with Barry, Michelle, Billy-Jeff, and Hillary.
Um, no he doesn't because he doesn't claim any affiliation or membership with any mainline Protestant or Evangelical church. A black liberation theology church, which by the way, he threw under the bus when necessary for his political career, isn't Protestant by any stretch of the imagination.
In the end, since he disowned that church and pastor, it's not a valid argument to say that he's Protestant.
If they are representative of the Catholic Church (which they are because they ARE Catholics) like it has been claimed ad naseum on these threads (has the Catholic church ex-communicated them??) then by the same logic ya'll are stuck with Barry, Michelle, Billy-Jeff, and Hillary.
Since obama has more ideologically in common with the liberal, socialist, America destroying Catholic Democrats, he's better called a Catholic than anything.
Oh, and just where does obama claim to be Protestant? Links? You made a statement. The onus is on you to support it.
Obama’s admission of being a muslim.
This is what happens when he talks off the cuff without a teleprompter. The truth slips out.

Don't ya wonder why so many Catholics voted for him, and Protestants didn't..? Maybe we spot phonies better ?
Oh? He claimed to be an active, baptized into the church member in good standing adherent? Just like Peolsi, Kerry, Kennedy (who got a Catholic funeral), etc?
Who knew....?
Probably no one. And no one will unless you can provide links to prove it.

OBAMA BAPTISED CHRISTIAN
” Obama grew up living all across the world with plenty of spiritual influences, but without any particular religion. He is now a Christian, having been baptized in the early 1990s at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.”

“Obama claims to be Protestant EXACTLY like that list of Dem politicians you listed...”
But, apparently, only when THEY consider someone Protestant.
Explains the 30,000 different sects, doesn’t it?
When is an altar call not an altar call? When it conflicts with their own flavour of Protestantism! LOL!
Obama isn’t a Christian, when asked who Jesus was, he could not give a biblical answer, saying that He was “a bridge ( a prophet like muslims believe)” and a “great teacher”. Martin Luther King also only believed that Christ was only a human
obama SAID (when corrected) Christian....which you keep insisting means Protestant.
It's a good thing you aren't conflating being Christian with being Catholic.
