Obama's Muslim sympathies

May we all now acknowledge that not only are Obama's Muslim roots genuine, but that he blatantly lied about his family's religious beliefs?

From Gateway Pundit: His father was Muslim, not atheist or agnostic. His Kenyan grandmother Sara appears also to be Muslim, not Christian.

Not only did Obama deny these Muslim roots. He accused others of bigotry and fearmongering when these were pointed out. All those bitter clingers, according to Obama, had no valid basis to distrust him. They were merely fearful, because of their cultural ignorance and prejudice, of his 'furrin' name and non-white skin color.

In September 2008, candidate Obama told a Pennsylvania crowd, "I know that I'm not your typical presidential candidate and I just want to be honest with you. I know that the temptation is to say, 'You know what? The guy hasn't been there that long in Washington. You know, he's got a funny name. You know, we're not sure about him.'

And that's what the Republicans when they say this isn't about issues, it's about personalities, what they're really saying is, 'We're going to try to scare people about Barack. So we're going to say that, you know, maybe he's got Muslim connections.'...Just making stuff up.
This shows not only a fundamental dishonesty of character and a naked willingness to manipulate public perception with lies, but a contempt for the character of the American people.

Americans as a whole respect religious and cultural differences. During the campaign Obama cynically, and successfully, preyed on this virtue, and a vote for Obama was, for many, a vote against the bigots who sought to 'smear' him.

But the picture is rapidly becoming clearer. Taken all together -- the bow, the declaration that America isn't a Christian country, and this latest, that we're actually a Muslim nation -- and it's hard to deny Barack Obama's strong sympathies with the Muslim world. They are more than an accident of birth. His sympathies place his loyalty to the US into question. That's not "just making stuff up."

See Michelle Malkin: America the 57-state caliphate?!

Your post reminds me of what Robert J. Samuelson wrote in the Washington Post two days ago: "Obama's rhetoric brims with inconsistencies. In the campaign, he claimed he would de-emphasize partisanship -- and also enact a highly partisan agenda; both couldn't be true. He got a pass. Now, he claims he will control health-care spending even though he proposes more government spending. He promotes "fiscal responsibility" when projections show huge and continuous budget deficits. Journalists seem to take his pronouncements at face value even when many are two-faced."
Obama has spent most of his life selling people on whatever version of events seemed most convient to him. And a person cannot lie that much without losing the ability to recognize the truth. He has mainly just gotten better at intuiting which lies will work best with which people.

At what point do his lies become an actual problem for our country? At what point does our country stop believing him? At what point can congress call for an impeachment if Obama has not produced a birth certificate? Obama, from day one, has been a walking billboard. He's comparable to a Tony the Tiger, the Dough Boy, or any other character who represents a company. The title "New Tutankhamon of the World" is just another title to add to his list of headlines. http://www.newsy.com/videos/obama_speaks_to_muslim_world_in_cairo

I always kinda liked the idea of speaking softly and carrying a big stick. Obama speaks softly in his domestic and foreign speeches, but has only used the big stick against the economy and citizens domestic.
