re: #216 Charles

Again, this is all spin — he’s saying he was never a believer in Islam, and it’s probably true. As far as it goes. And saying he has “Muslim roots” is also spin — it doesn’t mean he was a Muslim in reality — it means he “experienced Islam.”

This guy is the quintessential politician. Mercurial and impossible to pin down. The only outright statement of religious affiliation he’s made is that he’s a Christian — and that one he had to make in order to be elected in the United States.

Do you think there is a set of voters who found Obama acceptable for this reason (he said he was a Christian) but would not have voted for him if he had not said so?
