Obama says he isn't worried about Muslim rumors

[MNeagle]

NEW ORLEANS – President Barack Obama said Sunday he isn't worried about a recent poll showing that nearly one-fifth of Americans believe he is a Muslim. "The facts are the facts," said Obama, who is a Christian. In an interview broadcast on "NBC Nightly News," the president blamed the confusion over his religious beliefs on "a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly."

A poll released earlier this month by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center showed that 18 percent of people believe Obama is Muslim. That was up from 11 percent who said so in March 2009. Just 34 percent said Obama is Christian, down from 48 percent who said so last year.

"I'm not gonna be worrying too much about whatever rumors are floating on out there," Obama said Sunday. "If I spend all my time chasing after that, then I wouldn't get much done."

Asked about persistent accusations that he wasn't born in the United States, the president responded, "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead."

NBC anchorman Brian Williams also asked Obama about conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. While he didn't watch the event, Obama said, "I think that Mr. Beck and the rest of those folks were exercising their rights under our Constitution exactly as they should."

The president acknowledged the ralliers' concerns about the economy and terrorism and observed, "Given the fact that, you know, in none of these situations are you gonna fix things overnight, it's not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country."

Obama added: "I have no doubt that we are gonna rebound and rebound strong. But when you're in the middle of it, and if you don't have a job right now, it's a tough, tough situation."

Just goes to show you how stupid people are. I'll try and make this abundantly clear.

Barack is a puppet, when he needs to be a "christian" he is, when he needs to be a muslim he is, when he needs to be a citizen of the world he is. But the most important point which seemingly goes unnoticed, and definitely unreported is that he is surrounded by jews and zionists in every level of government, in even the very highest echelons of power.

Somehow this is more palatable to most dumbass american citizens since "god forbid he is a muslims since 9/11 was done by muslims after all" "USA USA USA USA" yet k-ikestan is our strongest ally, so it's no problem that they absolutely dominate the American political scene.

Retards.

No need to plaster it to your forehead. We'd just like to see it, even if only once.

Muslim, Christian, Buddhist...who cares.

We know where his allegiance lies.

That's good to know.

It's always beneficial when one's enemy is busy underestimating you and lulling himself into a false sense of security.

Why not? They make good glues.
After all, exotic dancers spend all their time with pasties glued to their areolas and they get PLENTY done.

How many Muslims has he appointed to high positions in the government? None. How many Zionist's and Israeli dual citizens has he appointed to high positions in the government? Every position that matters.

Watch what they do, not what they say...or what the public says.

the people at the glenn beck rally epitomize who you are referring to


"And he arranged peace talks in Washington?" he asked. "It's all for show. I believe that if he could, he would rather see Israel annihilated. I don't think he believes Israel belongs to the Jews. I think he sympathizes with terrorists. I believe he is an anti-Semite."

"I am very worried about Iran, I am confident the moment they get the bomb they will drop it on Israel. Obama has to do everything possible to stop it, even the military option as a last resort. He must understand that unlike other places, we don’t fight for Israel, we fight with Israel, we have the same color of soul."


He [Obama] will get Israel nuked," said 61-year-old Victoria Nikolov from New York, who had left home at 1 a.m. in order to make it to the rally on time. "He's not doing anything to prevent [Iran from developing nuclear weapons]. I came here to protect you, even though I'm not Jewish, and to restore the constitutional republic to this country."

I didn't know the ralliers' were there becauase they were concerned about terrorism?
Is this true, because I've never heard this to be a part of why they are rallying?

Why do these people care so much about ZIsrael? really, Their devotion is mind boggling!

Because the TV and movies tell them to care about Israel. Their college professors told them to care about Israel. Haven't you heard that Israel is our only ally in the middle east and we need them? I bet their churches told them to care about Israel.

The Congressional Research Service (CRS), in an Oct. 3, 2003 report titled "Israel: U.S. Foreign Assistance" stated the following:
"Israel is not economically self-sufficient, and relies on foreign assistance and borrowing to maintain its economy. In addition to U.S. assistance, it is estimated that Israel receives about $1 billion annually through philanthropy, an equal amount through short- and long- term commercial loans, and around $1 billion in Israel Bonds proceeds. Since 1985, the United States has provided $3 billion in grants annually to Israel. Since 1976, Israel has been the largest annual recipient of U.S. foreign assistance, and is the largest cumulative recipient since World War II.

U.S. aid to Israel has some unique aspects, such as loans with repayment waived, or a pledge to provide Israel with economic assistance equal to the amount Israel owes the United States for previous loans. Israel also receives special benefits that may not be available to other countries, such as the use of U.S. military assistance for research and development in the United States, the use of U.S. military assistance for military purchases in Israel, or receiving all its assistance in the first 30 days of the fiscal year rather than in 3 or 4 installments as other countries do.

In addition to the foreign assistance, the United States has provided Israel with $625 million to develop and deploy the Arrow antimissile missile (an ongoing project), $1.3 billion to develop the Lavi aircraft (cancelled), $200 million to develop the Merkava tank (operative), $130 million to develop the high energy laser anti-missile system (ongoing), and other military projects. In FY2000 the United States provided Israel an additional $1.2 billion to fund the Wye agreement, and in FY2002 the United States provided an additional $200 million in anti-terror assistance. For FY2003, the Administration requested $600 million in economic, $2.1 billion in military, and $60 million in migration resettlement assistance. For FY2004, the Administration requested $480 million in economic, $2.16 billion in military, and $50 million in migration resettlement assistance."



These amounts are only the tip of the iceberg.
