  • Being in Kentucky, I’m still hearing this. People did not vote for him because they believe he is indeed Muslim (and something is obviously wrong with that). And some talk show hosts have said that is why he stayed at Wright’s church so long. They think if he was a “real” X-ian he’d have left.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Obama is a closeted atheist. Its a shame that people of unfaith have to pretend to believe in religion to run for public office.
