Which one would EXPECT of the POTUS. I would also EXPECT him to know Christians of every church - Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, Buddhists, Jews, Mormons, Scientologists.....and so forth. He should be FULLY familiar with ALL the religions that are practiced within the USA.

Given that America does not exist in a global vacuum (much as some posters would like it to) I would expect the POTUS to have sufficient exposure to and knowledge of as many religions and cultures as possible - in order to effectively engage in global diplomacy on a global platform he needs to be able to communicate effectively with those in the Middle East and those elsewhere in the world.

Is he supposed to ignore Muslims? Because whether you like it or not, they make up a vast percentage of the
World's population - and a significant percentage of America's - and they are not going anywhere! What's the POTUS supposed to do? Insult them? Ignore them? Sheesh..........
Very good. Can't rep you again or i would.

I haven't watched the video - could the OP tell us at what point in the video Obama says those words?
The OP, mistakenly or deliberately, misconstrues the clip at the 24 to 31 second mark.

Perhaps Romney is covered under the law that was passed to clarify McCain's status. Ironic that both GOP candidates have backgrounds from other countries, yet some people choose to believe that the president born in Hawai'i isn't legitimate. Go figure.

Please do share. I'm sure these accounts are 100% truthful.

Oh, not that! Anything but that! Everyone knows that Obama has out-lawed both baseball and apple pie...the killing of mothers will begin before long.

Actually The hebrew word for lightning is pronounced differently than barack.

Barack is actually a Hebrew Verb meaning, Bless, or Kneel.
