Remember the barely covered “gaffe” where Obama said he wanted to visit all “57 states”? He was talking about the United States and people couldn’t believe someone would make such an obvious gaffe.

It wasn’t a gaffe. He was thinking of The Organization of Islamic Conference’s recognition of 57 Member States.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

OH MY GOD. Your ignorance is truly AWE inspiring. I cant believe someone as stupid as you hasnt forgotten to breathe and just died. Again a long ago debunked bit of stupidity

Nah, he’s not a Muslim…
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

Nah you are just a liar and a MORON</description>

Obama has “released” his birth certificate. He has had stamped, certified copies of it released from Hawaii to various news organizations who wanted to verify authenticity, and he has it posted on his website. So far, nobody who has examined it has claimed it’s a forgery — in fact, everybody has verified its authenticity.

Uh no. You are completely out in left field on this one. It has in fact been judged to be a forgery; a sloppy one at that.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

No it hasnt. You are either a liar or the most ignorant and brainwashed moron imaginable.

Do you enjoy embarassing yourself and showing how brainwashed you are repeating this LONG AGO debunked nonsense as if anyone but the most brainwashed morons took it seriously?</description>

Well, many people in other countries assert he’s a muslim. When he attended school in Indonesia he was a Muslim.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

No he wasnt. It was a public school not a religious school once again you show that you NEVER know what you are talking about.

Maybe he is, who really knows for sure?

None of you that’s for sure…
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

YOU MORONS are the ones making the claim he is Muslim even AFTER you talked endlessly about him going for 20 years to that &quot;ooooohhh&quot; Radical Christian Church. You people are so stupid you cant keep your talking points straight. If YOU make the claim its up to YOU to back it up. Only an ignoramus makes a cliam then says prove I am wrong.</description>

Bit why do you spend so much time parading your impressive ignorance? We already know you are about the stupidest moron in the special class.


Why would most of the world be misinformed about the faith of a candidate who has been campaigning for two years? 

Because ignorant, brainwashed wingnuts like YOU keep LYING about it.


Could it be that BHO is using misinformation or lack of information to his advantage?
&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

You are ignorant he released an official birth document that shows he was born in Hawaii. Only the stupidest people imaginable, people like say YOU, keep repeating this ignorance.

To the rest of your abject stupidity I would just say its too ridiculous to do anything but what he did. Why take morons like you seriously. You arent serious. Just stupid</description>

		<description>misshusseinmolly,

&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama has “released” his birth certificate. He has had stamped, certified copies of it released from Hawaii to various news organizations who wanted to verify authenticity, and he has it posted on his website. So far, nobody who has examined it has claimed it’s a forgery — in fact, everybody has verified its authenticity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Uh no.  You are completely out in left field on this one.  It has in fact been judged to be a forgery; a sloppy one at that.

There are several lawsuits pending that will REQUIRE him to produce the real birth certificate (if he has one).  To this day he has refused to produce one.

Apparently, up is down in your world.

BTW, why does his Grandmother stand by her story that he was born in Kenya, hmmmm?</description>

		<description>Why does bitblt no believe a Muslim is qualified to be president? Does bit believe a Jew can be? Has bit checked out the constitutional requirements for this job? dbadass is often amused by bit but not so much this time as dbadass finds little humor in religious intolerance yet much humor in religion.</description>

I live in Austin. I dealt with a moron who asked me about Obama’s putative Muslim background. I asked him if he knew the cultural source of “Barack,” and he–inevitably–was stunned when I told him it was a Jewish name. Numbnuts.

You&#039;re wrong, but you would get partial credit.

You really want us to think that a Muslim father would name his son with a Jewish name? Perhaps you&#039;re referring to the Biblical reference to a Barach, and perhaps you want us to think BHO was named after a Biblical character?

The key here is that both language - Hebrew and Arabic - are spoken by Semitic peoples( those who descended from Noah&#039;s son Shem), so there is a point of commonality. 

Unless you have a BHO story where he says his father gave him a Jewish name, bit will assume it&#039;s a name common to both languages.</description>

Yo bitblt, what’s your beef with Muslims?

bit doesn&#039;t believe a person of the Muslim faith is qualified to be POTUS, or a congressman for that matter.

This isn&#039;t bit&#039;s beef with BHO. bit believes BHO has been made out to be many things that he&#039;s simply not. Seems to be the politician&#039;s skill to make voters believe what it is the voters want to believe about any one candidate. 

Since bit is a single issue voter the NARAL 100% is enough for bit to vote Republican.</description>

Positing Islam as an acceptable religion to most Americans is a whole &#039;nuter propostion, so I&#039;ll let that one slide for now.  Besides, I&#039;m an atheist.  Thank god.</description>

For instance, BHO could have squashed any question about the nation of his birth by simply releasing a copy of his birth certificate, but he didn’t. 

Why didn’t he? 

Why did his campaign lawyers not response within the 30 days period to the suit filed in PA? This suit claimed the BHO was not a “natural born citizens” of the U.S. 

Is it to BHO’s advantage to not prove that he’s a U.S. citizen?
____________________________________________________________

Obama has &quot;released&quot; his birth certificate.  He has had stamped, certified copies of it released from Hawaii to various news organizations who wanted to verify authenticity, and he has it posted on his website.  So far, nobody who has examined it has claimed it&#039;s a forgery -- in fact, everybody has verified its authenticity.  Right now, Obama&#039;s birth certificate has become the most scrutinized document in our country since the Zapruder film (meanwhile, we can&#039;t even get McCain and Palin to release their medical records).  Yet Obama&#039;s detractors continue to bleat for him to &quot;release&quot; it.

As far as why Obama&#039;s lawyers wouldn&#039;t play ball with the suit in PA -- why legitimize something so silly and frivolous?  That&#039;s a no-brainer.  (apparently the judge in PA thought so, too -- the case was dismissed).

If there was any serious evidence to suggest that Obama (or any other presidential or veep candidate) was not eligible to be POTUS, the Feds would have caught up with that by now.  So give it a rest, or find something more important to snipe about.</description>
