Obama Will Win With Conservative Values

Eman and Obama are on the same page. So Eman will work hard to get him elected. He needs the help of a superhero and a superhero is on the case. It is now.

Newsweek magazine covers his GREAT faith in the July issue:

Obama has spoken often and eloquently about the importance of religion in public life. But like many political leaders wary of offending potential backers, he has been less revealing about what he believes—about God, about prayer, about the connection between salvation and personal responsibility.

In some respects, his reticence is understandable. Obama's religious biography is unconventional and politically problematic. Born to a Christian-turned-secular mother and a Muslim-turned-atheist African father, Obama grew up living all across the world with plenty of spiritual influences, but without any particular religion.

He is now a Christian, having been baptized in the early 1990s at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. But rumors about Obama's religion persist. In the new NEWSWEEK Poll, 12 percent of voters incorrectly believe he's Muslim; more than a quarter believe he was raised in a Muslim home.

Well, I'm afraid it's his name. When some farmer from Iowa, Kansas or other rural predisposed mentality area hears it, they are bound to think he's muslim. And, they don't want a "towel head" in the whitehouse.

Ignorant and uninformed, I know. But that's how some people perceive the man.

I think you are exactly right. And if they can't take two minutes to educate themselves on the basics then it's their own loss. Ignorance isn't always bliss, for many it makes them look pretty stupid and I don't just mean politics.

Christians rise above such smallness at the end of the day. God wants Obama in the White House. And so does Eman.

So how can he lose with THAT team?

You are thinking about the nutty left Cookie.

I have tried to educate Eric about the Conservative Right in the Democratic Party. I think he is finally getting it thanks to Eman and Barack.

Did you get any video to share? I was checking out a couple of videos you posted on your (China?) trip and regardless of how you may appear on a message board you are a pretty normal and sane guy.

Dang Eric. Don't spread that around. Would The Joker want people to know he is just a sane normal country club sort of citizen?



Yeah. Got video but having technical trouble editing. Have my tech guys coming by to help. Great trip though.
