Quote:

Obama is clearly intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying American politics is in its "silly season." For example, he swears he didn't watch any of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall yesterday and says he doesn't find it surprising that "a Glenn Beck can stir up some of the people."

But the best line of the entire article

Quote:

"I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead."

NICE! ZING!

I don't know tho Obama... Having your Birth Cert on your forehead might be a new style. I am sure Beck will try it as well no?

Obama just became a bit cooler in my book, all he has to do is wrestle a few bears and I might start considering voting for him over Vladimir Putin in 2012.

I completely agree. In politics, your opponents are always going to find a tool with which you bludgeon you. That being said, you don't have to go out of your way to hand them one, which is exactly what Obama did in the statement above. That quote serves to confirm the view that many people have of him as an 'elitest', and will appear repeatedly in campaign advertisements during the next presidential election cycle. Not smart, Mr. President.

Well at least he was smart enough to NOT make a public statement in which he tries to paint them all as 'birthers' in a 'glib and off the cuff manner' when the rally had nothing to do with that.

Oh yea that Sheehan woman was like totally dissed.

I would bet money he watched part of it or some type of highlight reel put together by his staff.I've read some accounts that he is not as "calm and collected" as the media has portrayed him since the election and bet he has choice words for his opponents, esp the effective ones such as Beck(like him or not, he's been pretty effective against Obama)

Fact is his policies have failed, the wool he managed to pull over many citizen's eyes has been removed and he is now not very popular as his approval ratings show.A large number of Americans doubt his religion and growing number doubt his citizenship.Barry is trying to save face, plain and simple.

Absolutely, sad thing is that is how he sees the citizens.This explains why despite outrage on everything from the health care bill to the mosque, he defies the very people who voted for him because he feels he knows better and we are just "pests"

Errrrrrr...one in five citizens apparently thinks he is a muslim and one in 4 think he ain't really american so given the crowd and some of their issues its a petty fair to view many of those citizens on the rally in that way.

What is sad is that so many people can be so obviously dumb.

Whats sad is that this is even a question....

What religion is your president?? Durh... ehhh... gee I dont really know.

Name me one president where his religion was not apparent or at least a face of apparentness.

I thought his religion was Liberation Theology personally.

I agree, but for this reason:

Quote:

no religious test shall ever be required as a qulification to any office or public trust under the United States

It amazes me how people who accuse others of perverting the Constition manage to conveniently ignore that part.
