Obama’s quotes on Islam:
1. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”
2. “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”
3. “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”
4. “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
5. “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
6. “Islam has always been part of America”
7. “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”
Now, let’s compare those quotes to what he has said about Christianity:
1. “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”
2. “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”
3. “Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?”
4. “Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.”
5. “The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.”

Very interesting.
I would add that, as a student of the Bible who has read it a number of times, I cannot recall Obama using a Scripture properly.
He takes then and twists them into a speech but without really understanding what the verse or idea says.
Do you recall his twist of Luke 12:47-49?
It reads:
This had NOTHING to do with what Obama twisted it into which was tax paying: “To whom much is given, much shall be required.”
The Master is GOD, not the government in Jesus’ illustration.
In the illustration God is a paymaster, an owner for a slave or an employer for a worker.
He can, in no way, be the gov’t.
And, why is Obama suddenly pro-gay marriage?
It’s because, maybe late in 2012, Obama discovered the Golden Rule!
As a Christian why wasn’t he familiar with the Golden Rule as a younger man?
And then he twists:
Assembly of God general superintendent, George O. Wood, says the denomination is in complete disagreement with the president’s new position and takes exception to Obama taking Scripture out of context to defend his position…… “The Bible clearly teaches that marriage should be a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman. There is no affirmation of homosexual behavior found anywhere in Scripture. However, the Bible is replete with evidence that homosexual behavior is immoral and comes under the judgment of God. Although it has become popular to quote Scripture grossly out of context to serve a personal or political agenda, it still doesn’t change what God’s Word clearly states.”
Most recent example I have come across is Obama’s new racist program, My Brothers’ Keeper.
This is also based on a Bible verse, where Cain asks God, Am I my brothers’ keeper? when God knows Cain has murdered Abel.
Obama has been negligent to his own fleshly family.
One of his brothers lives in extreme poverty in Africa.
Another relative was an illegal alien in the USA for years.
And, as president, Obama has an obligation to all Americans equally, without regard for color.
But his new program is race-based and prevents whites from getting benefits!
It is only for the right people of color, too!
No Asians need apply!

There are stories about obama being gay during his college years. He wore a wedding ring while he was in college. This was common among gays so they wouldn’t be questioned about not dating women.
The more I saw closeups of michelle, the more I wondered something. I never mentioned it anybody, but I started reading about others who were wondering the same thing. IS MICHELLE A MAN?
