The way I see it is that a nation should have some loyalty to the faith of the founders...respect for the nations origins. He is "open" to everyone because he is a politician -that's his job to suck up to everyone. It's not that he is truly respectful of everyone and their faith on a personal and honest level. He panders to all...Like rule by poll.
Hundreds of years have passed since our country was "founded".
Many of us have evolved to realize and accept that the US is a melting pot of many beliefs.
I much prefer Obama's inclusive attitude, than Bush's calling my people unAmerican, because we believe differently.
Live in your Christian bubble...but everyone doesn't have to choose to live in it with you.
Response to highcotton's picture of "Muslims infiltrating Obama's administration. (post #24)
FYI,
The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, paragraph 3, and states that:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. No Religious Test Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is the extent of the constitution for you that you can own a gun?
Hardcore christians protest outside of abortion clinics in the hope of saving the lives of babies.
Really?
Murders:
March 10, 1993: Dr. David Gunn of Pensacola, Florida was fatally shot during a protest. He had been the subject of wanted-style posters distributed by Operation Rescue in the summer of 1992. Michael F. Griffin was found guilty of Gunn's murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
July 29, 1994: Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, a clinic escort, were both shot to death outside another facility, the Ladies Center, in Pensacola. Rev. Paul Jennings Hill was charged with the killings. Hill received a death sentence and was executed on September 3, 2003. The clinic in Pensacola had been bombed before and was also bombed subsequently, in 1984 and 2012.
December 30, 1994: Two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols, were killed in two clinic attacks in Brookline, Massachusetts. John Salvi was arrested and confessed to the killings. He died in prison and guards found his body under his bed with a plastic garbage bag tied around his head. Salvi had also confessed to a non-lethal attack in Norfolk, Virginia days before the Brookline killings.
January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed. Eric Robert Rudolph, who was also responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was charged with the crime and received two life sentences as a result.
October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death with a high-powered rifle at his home in Amherst, New York.[10] His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Slepian's murder after finally being apprehended in France in 2001.
May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by Scott Roeder as Tiller served as an usher at church in Wichita, Kansas.[11]
[edit]
Attempted murders, assaults and kidnappings:
August 19, 1993: Dr. George Tiller was shot outside of an abortion facility in Wichita, Kansas. Shelley Shannon was charged with the crime and received an 11-year prison sentence (20 years were later added for arson and acid attacks on clinics).
July 29, 1994: June Barret was shot in the same attack which claimed the lives of James Barrett, her husband, and Dr. John Britton.
December 30, 1994: Five individuals were wounded in the shootings which killed Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols.
October 28, 1997: Dr. David Gandell of Rochester, New York was injured by flying glass when a shot was fired through the window of his home.[15]
January 29, 1998: Emily Lyons, a nurse, was severely injured, and lost an eye, in the bombing which also killed Robert Sanderson.

Not to make light of the murder of these people, but seven victims in 16 years seems a drop in the bucket compared to the wholesale slaughter of civilians by Islamic extremists.

It's not for a lack of trying. The security is so tight at abortion clinics these days that it's hard for an anti-abortion terrorist to get in to do enough damage to kill as many people.
I think it's clear Obama is a failure in regards to terrorism. He based his whole administration on getting Osama which he did with intelligence obtained during the Bush years via torture. Yet the mistake he made is thinking that killing Osama or dismantling Al Qaeda meant the end of Islamic terror. This is the type of nonsensical belief I expect the average know nothing American to believe not the leader of the free world.
Now intelligence folks are saying it is extremely rare for Russia to reach out to the USA in regards to a suspicions of terror. Yet their alarm over this terrorist didn't raise too many red flags.
Intelligence sources tell CNN it is "rare" for Russians to reach out like that, to ask the FBI to look into someone as they did with Tsarnaev.
The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev in 2011, but says it found no terrorism activity at the time. But it appears the bureau did not follow up after Tsarnaev spent six months in Chechnya in 2012. The question is, why?
"There's going to be a lot of questions, that's one of them obviously," said Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Massachusetts. "I'm sure the FBI is going to want to ask those questions of themselves, as well."

Here comes the liberals with the false comparisons to Islamic terror. Thankfully other liberals are crying BS on their more limp wrist compatriots.
It's not for a lack of trying. The security is so tight at abortion clinics these days that it's hard for an anti-abortion terrorist to get in to do enough damage to kill as many people.
The anti-abortionist terrorist at least are targeting their violence to specific people. Not killing indiscriminately. Besides the doctors are murderers their actions violate their oaths to do no harm.
