Obama Has ‘Expiration Date’ For His Religion, Too?


We are STILL at it all depends on what the definition of "is," is...

After spending three years running away from his past, Barack Hussein Obama is now nominally a Muslim again. At least that is the message that ABC’s Jake Tapper has discovered in the new, new way in which the Obama administration is presenting the president’s connections to Islam and his religious upbringing and heritage. Suddenly it’s A’OK to say that Obama has “experienced Islam” and remark about his “Muslim father” again. Rah, rah for Islam.

As Jim Geraghty so famously said that everything that Barack Obama says has an “expiration date,” because it isn’t long after he promises something or makes allusion to some policy direction that he chucks the idea under the bus and drives head-long on to the next “promise” to earnestly offer the American people. And it isn’t just his centrist positions he later conveniently reverses himself on, either, as several of his more extremist liberal ideas have gone under the tram, too — much to the chagrin of many lefties that voted for him.

There is also the squirrelly rhetoric, the weasel words that could mean this or that, the veritable definition of what “is,” is that we’ve so often seen with this man. His nuclear power stance is a prime example. He postures as a man interested in moving cautiously forward with new nuclear power in the U.S. but then vetoes every idea that comes down the pike effectively and in actuality eliminating the possibility of any new nuclear power projects. But he seems nominally for it by his rhetoric. It’s a dissembling that amounts to clear deception when the final record is examined.

Another example of this talking out of both sides of the mouth popular with this White House was caught over at Politico. There we are reminded that not many weeks ago Barack Obama was trying to make a big deal out of the $100 million in budget cuts he made. We were told it was significant despite that it was a drop in the bucket compared to the $1.3 Trillion deficit.

Well this week came Joe Biden, the gaffematic-in-waiting, telling a stimulus roundtable in New York that the Small Business Administration has awarded a teeny, tiny bit of money in loans in the first hundred days since Obama signed the bill. It’s a nothing, a mere pittance, says Biden. It’s $600 million… which is six times bigger than the “significant” amount that Obama claimed he was cutting from the budget only weeks ago.

So according to Obama $100 million is a hefty sum but Biden says $600 million is “not a lot of money.” Make up my mind, boys.

And you might recall that candidate Obama was adamant that finding Osamma bin Laden was going to be a top-of-the-list priority for an Obama administration. Does anyone out there recall the last time that topic was brought up?

It is truly hard to find anything that Obama has not walked back from, or walked all over since he started running for president in 2004. And he had the gall to call Bill Clinton a “bald-faced liar“!

So, now back to Obama’s Muslim roots. We find Obama re-embracing “his Father’s religion,” as Tapper has pointed out in “The Emergence of President Obama’s Muslim Roots.”

Tapper recalls for us the near outrage that Obama and his campaign indulged in as people began to pass the rumor that he was a closet Muslim. Then Obama put up a “Fight the Smears” webpage that forcefully denied Obama had any real connection to Islam and strongly reiterated his Christian beliefs.

But that was then. Now there is a “new” tune being played from the White House and it sounds like it is being played on an Oud*.

During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”

Now it’s OK to equate Barack Obama with his “Muslim roots” again? What happened to the feigned outrage when people did this only months ago? Does it now not matter to him if his true cultural connections are discussed merely because “I won”? Have we just discovered that his much celebrated staunch Christian beliefs have an expiration date?

That last isn’t too hard to believe, anyway. After all, he’s pretty much ceased attending church since he was elected, so it is plain that his attendance at a Christian church was a means to election as opposed to an expression of faith. Not that he is any more devoted to Islam, mind you. It seems far more likely that he is a man of no real religious convictions truth be told.

Whatever the case, we are seeing more everyday that this White House will say anything at all at any time regardless of how it contradicts claims and statements of only days, sometimes hours ago.

Asalam Alakum to you my friend Barack. Thanks for stopping by.

No wonder he wants to close Gitmo

fisk2521 Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:25AM EST (link)

We can now call him Barack Hussein Obama and no one can scream bias anymore.

No wonder he had such a difficult time finding a church to attend on Easter…. no wonder.. One would have to assume that he used Rev. Wright and his church for political reasons I guess. There’s no end to his manipulative, duplicitous behavior. He just doesn’t care what Americans think now and hasn’t for a long time.

He has no compulsion to ‘get Osama Bin Laden because he thinks like that lamebrain Moore, who believes we deserved it. No wonder he wants to close Gitmo. no wonder.

What about ISRAEL?

smitch61 Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:34AM EST (link)

Not even on the agenda. We all remember when the picture you posted came to light how the media managed to dispute this as absolute nonsense and “right wing” lunacy. They were very successful. To say he and his staff along with the cheerleading media has been less than truthful to the American people is an understatement.

 

Has Barry really thought this through?

WarEagle01 (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 9:15AM EST (link)

If his father was a Muslim, then to many Muslims he was born into their faith, whether he acknowledges that or not. I don’t think most Americans really care about that, it’s not like he had a choice in his parentage. But the fact is, he “converted” at some point and joined a Christian church. Now, last I heard, conversion is a capital offense in Islam. I just don’t think that promoting his “former” Muslim status is going to endear him with a whole lot of people in the Middle East. (Well, except maybe the Israelis. But he is skipping Israel, our closest ally in the region, for some reason).

a renegade Muslim. Which is probably a nicer thing to say about the man than most of us here would say about him at this point. And given the stuff that bin Laden said on his audio about ole Barry just before he got to Egypt, i.e. “Continuing the Bush doctrines”, Obama is in danger from radical Islam just as much as the rest of us.

Who’d a thunk it that we had anything in common with the man?

The difference here is that Sadat was a brave and good man who stood up the radicals to do the right thing and work for peace. Obama is not in his league on his best two days in a row. That event couldn’t have taken place without the inside help of the Egyptian military.

I’m betting that the security on this one will be a whole lot tighter.

Sadat was smart enough to know that the other Arabs

Achance (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:26AM EST (link)

were more than willing to fight Israel until the last Egytian was dead. I’m not much on ascribing higher motives to him than practicality. The Egyptian Army and Air Force had been destroyed twice in a little over six years; hard for any country and leader to keep that up.

As to Comrade Obama’s safety; he’s the Arab World’s greatest asset these days, so I suspect he’s plenty safe, apostate or not.

In Vino Veritas

No doubt a large part of it was practicality, Achance.

janis (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:41AM EST (link)

But he had more than a whiff of suspicion that this sort of event would be attempted if he followed through on making peace with Egypt. Yet he did what was best for his country instead of what was safest for him personally. That’s still courage in my book.

As to Obama’s safety, we’ve got our lone nuts, they’ve got theirs. From what I know of Egypt’s political situation, they’ve got lots there who would be glad to be the one to bring down Mubarrak’s gov. There are so many in that part of the world with their own agenda that I don’t think you can safely predict what will happen. And if we are not in danger of being hit again while Obama is POTUS, then how come one fairly large plot was stopped already and the one in Little Rock apparently included plans for a larger event?

 

You're right Achance

Karina (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 4:40PM EST (link)

He’s very safe while in the Middle East. He’s considered a hero here. They knew he would not support Isreal long ago. Whenever people find out we’re American’s, Obama’s name is always the next thing we hear. It’s the people of America the extremists want to destroy. It’s our Judeo-Christian system and people that can’t go on. Our belief in Isreal that they hate. While he is the symbol of our country and therefore normally would be a target, he’s loved here.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Doc, why are you so adamant that he's not a Muslim?

janis (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:46AM EST (link)

There is certainly enough circumstantial evidence at this point to not rule it out. Telling France that the USA is the largest Muslim country in the world is right up there. It’s a lie, but he said it. His first phone call to the Middle East was to Mahmoud Abbas instead of to Israel. His first foreign TV interview was with Al Jazeera. And now he is finally saying what we all knew–that his father was a Muslim and Obama was raised in the Muslim culture in Indonesia.

What proof do you have to the contrary that makes you state this so unequivocally? I’m curious.

I am not adamant

Doc Holliday (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:57AM EST (link)

I know it could be read that way, my point was that it does not matter. Whether he is Muslim or not doesn’t really matter because the effect of his leftist/statist views is a threat enough to our way of life.

practice any religion. Of course, good tactics would require you to assume some religious identity here in a Country full of people who “cling” to their Bibles. Can’t you just hear the contempt dripping from that statement? Wright’s “church” was more a political club or union hall than anything a genuine practitioner of any real religion would attend, and, of course, it was a great asset to him politically.

I think if we could ever get to the records, we’d find that for at least some of his expensive education, he was either admitted as a foreign national, if he’s really a citizen, that would be fraud, or was being financed by a foreign national, perhaps a foreign national with connections that would not bode well for his future.

Doc, while I put no floor in how low a liberal could go

janis (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 12:47PM EST (link)

in betraying his country, I still don’t think those particular actions would be the ones that the standard wimpy liberal would make. At least not the whole collection of them. But they are the ones that a committed anti-American in cahoots with our sworn enemies would make. And in this case, our sworn enemies happen to be radical Islam. You know, the ones that Obama said could have nukes and he’s okay with that?

I know your views on this, too, Achance, and I don’t doubt them either. I have no trouble imagining that Obama recognizes no authority higher than his own–at least as long as he can keep Michelle pacified– but I would equally have no trouble if he came out tomorrow and joined his grandmother to make the Haaj. Either possibility just means that he’s fine with the destruction of the country we all grew up in and he did not. It’s a country we all love, and he patently does not.

Having read his two autobiographies, I really think Obama is basically an agnostic

Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 2:38PM EST (link)

which many very liberal social gospel Christians are. NOT ALL such liberal Christians, but many. But I think Obama was basically raised an agnostic by his mom and grandparents and found racial closure via Rev Wright and found himself also finding some bonding with some real Christians in that church but that it is quite a convoluted and corrupted hate/grievance version. Achance makes a good point as well upthread re communists and I found myself in the Dem Party in SC in the late 80s and 90s that the libs had a hostility to faith here in the Bible Belt.

Doc Holliday (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 4:12PM EST (link)

Obama could be a Muslim, he can be whatever he chooses I guess. My point all along has been that he is already a threat to America, I don’t think I am being moderate when saying this. I already know what he is doing, it doesn’t matter if it is in the name of Islam or normal leftist atheism.

I disagree with you that standard anti-American libs would not do those enumerated actions. The hard left has been consistently anti-Israeli and pro Palestinian. The hard left feels a kinship with radical Islam only because they both don’t like America. You can see this on the DailyKos site. Every other diary is about the abortion doctor and how the right is to blame, yet they have posted nothing on the soldiers killed by a home grown Islamic terrorist. Do we have to wonder if Daily Kos is an Islamic site? No, they are just the modern anti-American left.

You have no proof he isn't a Muslim.

Tbone (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:57AM EST (link)

As such, the categorical statement that he is, is just as valid as your statement he isn’t.

In fact, list anything he has done that would lead a reasonable person to believe that his sympathies don’t lie with the Muslims. Why do you think he adopted the Barack Hussein after being known as Barry?

Forgot that bow to Saudi King already? Forgot his slip tp Gibson about “my Muslim faith”? Has he protested the killing of our soldier in AR by a fellow Muslim?

Tbone (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 5:11PM EST (link)

Your quotes:

“Anyone here who knows me knows I was not claiming I knew definitively about Obama’s religious views.”

“He is not a Muslim”

That is a pretty clear declaratory statement. So, to make a declaratory statement that would be read not as such by “anyone here who knows me” must mean that they either realize you habitually overtly lie or that your statements have no credibility based upon deficienies beyond your control.

Me, being a generous person by nature, do not accept that you are a habitual liar and will now concur with those “here who know you” as your being just merely deluded.

And, to reach out in good faith, I am going to accept your declaration that you are “done with me” at face value. Wander in peace.

I have stated that unless his mother had renounced his citizenship before his birth, that it wouldn’t matter where he was born.

Devout Muslims aren’t permitted to drink alcohol. But BHO imbibes. I seem to remember him taking a big swig of champagne during one of the post-inaugural parties. Possibly it was non-alcoholic sparkling juice.

I don’t know that he refrains from eating pork, a huge no-no to the faithful. Has anyone heard of his fondness for BLTs? Now, we do see he running off to the burger joints every now and then, shutting down DC traffic so he can have it his way. We know he loves that other kind of pork–government spending. He can’t get enough of that. But as to whether or not he’ll touch the other white meat remains a mystery.

He attends ‘Christian’ churches, notably the Trinity Baptist Church in Chicago. Maybe there aren’t any mosques in the Windy City? And he looked so fetching in his turban getup.

 

Frank Gaffney over at WashTimes details interesting tidbits re: Hussein's speech in Cairo. . .

RedWhite_and_Truth (Diary) Wednesday, June 10th at 9:32AM EST (link)

. . . and how it relates to B. Hussein’s odds of being a closet Muslim.

With Mr. Obama’s unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls “the Muslim world” (hereafter known as “the Speech”), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself. Consider the following indicators:

• Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to “the Holy Koran.” Non-Muslims — even pandering ones — generally don’t use that Islamic formulation.

• Mr. Obama established his firsthand knowledge of Islam (albeit without mentioning his reported upbringing in the faith) with the statement, “I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed.” Again, “revealed” is a depiction Muslims use to reflect their conviction that the Koran is the word of God, as dictated to Muhammad.

• Then the president made a statement no believing Christian — certainly not one versed, as he professes to be, in the ways of Islam — would ever make. In the context of what he euphemistically called the “situation between Israelis, Palestinians and Arabs,” Mr. Obama said he looked forward to the day “. . . when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.”

Now, the term “peace be upon them” is invoked by Muslims as a way of blessing deceased holy men. According to Islam, that is what all three were – dead prophets. Of course, for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God.

As a bitter clinger, I take strong exception with the coward-in-chief’s dismissal of Christ. No way can he call himself a Christian, and call another book Holy. And, Jesus, or Yahshua, which Bamster would NEVER call Him, is not just another prophet, as he implied.

He continues to get by with it, however, thanks to the dumbed-down education system and the state-run media. What I am concerned about is the under-reported damage he can cause, before we have the chance to reign him in, in 2010. These upcoming elections are critical.

Most likely Obama's pandering not proclaiming faith

civil truth (Diary) Wednesday, June 10th at 9:46AM EST (link)

After all, we just had a recent story at RedState describing how Obama is throwing around “Jesus” among Christian audiences.

So my bet is that Obama, as a radical Marxist/Communist, is really an atheist – and cynically uses religious references tailored to his audience to garner support.

We saw this throughout the campaign, how Obama said different – and even contradictory things – to various audiences, usually with some obfuscatory nuance to enable deniability if called on it – essentially telling each audience “I’m on your side”. And the press never called him on that.

So now he’s just playing the same games with religion, telling each group of adherents “I’m on your side” while keeping enough murkiness to keep him from being nailed down.

However, when it comes to religion, Obama is playing a dangerous game because some people take their faith deadly seriously…

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis
