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.

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.

A large number of Americans doubt his religion and growing number doubt his citizenship.

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.

I did not know I had so much in common with President Obama. I ignore Glen Beck too.

What would you have him do about the mosque? He did the only thing he could do and you know it.

He could have not commented on it in the first place. IMO Takeda nails it on page 1:

Indeed. Not smart at all...

I could just hear everybody if he said "No comment". Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Oh I'd think a master politician like the President could do a far better job than that of evading an inconvenient question don't you?

I wouldn't call him a master politician. He was the best pick of the worst. I don't think he could have evaded that question. If he did people would be howling that he was for it by being silent.
Curious, what would you have said if you sat in that honored seat?
