Obama likes to lecture Christians on the long gone crusades, lectures India on his visit there on maintaining religious harmony, Israel on settlements, etc., which is all fine with me.
But I have never once heard him tell a Muslim majority country to treat their Non-Muslim citizens as 'equal citizens'. Never have I heard him lecture Muslims to quit their jihad and join the rest of humanity in the 21st century.
Why this double standard by Obama? Why is he an apologist for the atrocities committed world over in the name of Islam. He is quick to repeat again and again that ISIS is not Islamic. President, you are wrong, ISIS is as Islamic as it gets!
Obama, lower the flag and close down the mosque associated with the scumbag Muslim who committed this heinous act of terror. Show some love and passion for your country!
I've definitely heard him call out radical Muslims for being exclusionary and for hijacking a faith in thr nsme od their terror. Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You should research before drawing a conclusions.
Why are you all so obsessed with Islam and linking it to Obama? Going after a religion will accomplish nothing. You have to go after the terrorism that preys upon it. Bush knew that. He went to a Muslim mosque almost immediately after 9/11.
A. Obama is a practicing Christian with a global perspective. Watch his eulogy in Charleston.
B. Why does it matter what his faith is or isn't? We Real Americans stand with our nation's founders in resisting all efforts to make a religious test to hold office.
Our founders fought passionately to keep religion out if their government.

Exactly my point.
He calls out Muslim Extremist as blaspheming Islam, but on the same hand uses crusade as a lesson for Christians.
The Crusades were Chistian, just as ISIS is Islam!
I see where President Obama just ordered the flags at half-mast. He has heard the voices crying out!
Well about Gosh Damn Sweet Time ya think. He should have done this before he heard the uproar, common sense ya think, after all he is Preisdent, is he not. Common sense, he lacks.
Don't care what ya think, or the excuses you make for him, no excuse no freaken excuse at all.
Finally:
"In a proclamation issued early Tuesday afternoon, Obama said of the Chattanooga victims, "We honor their service. We offer our gratitude to the police officers and first responders who stopped the rampage and saved lives. We draw strength from yet another American community that has come together with an unmistakable message to those who would try and do us harm: We do not give in to fear. You cannot divide us. And you will not change our way of life."
He ordered flags flown at half-staff at the White House and "all public buildings and grounds," as well as over military posts and naval stations and vessels -- until July 25. Flags will be flown at half-staff at U.S. embassies and other overseas diplomatic offices.
The decision comes after congressional leaders ordered flags at the U.S. Capitol lowered to half-staff earlier in the day -- that decision fueled questions over why the White House hadn't yet done the same."
I'll take your correction, now tell me why Obama won't involve himself in this terrible event.
He is Commander in Chief for God's sake. He should act like it for once.
Apologizing for his incompetence has become tiresome don't you think?
Thank You, and where Obama is concern, there is a whole hell of a lot of incompetence going round.
People are finally catching wind to this, and waking the hell up.
Rather than a childish retort, you're welcome to make a reasoned argument. I wouldn't say I've drunk the kool aid on either Reagan or Obama. I just objectively see success.
People are reduced to snipping about details around the edges, like retirement of baby boomers and protracted young adult education accounting for 2/3 of the lower particpation rate amid the 6th longest period of economic growth since the 1850s.
Dude, you are wrong and clearly don't realize it. Obama has done much damage to our Republic by overstepping his authority from day one. Illegally confiscating stock from General Motors shareholders and handing it to union workers.
How about cash for clunkers!
Gun running to Mexico, decreeing a socialized medicine scheme without the support of the American people.
Releasing enemy combatants so they can kill more of us. Class warfare, inciting riots, social justice w/ guaranteed outcomes. OMG.
The list goes on, but it doesn't matter to your kind. The end justifies the means with socialism.
Obama is a petty, petulent ghetto punk, that fooled those around him into backing his campaign for office.
It worked, and we are paying a heavy price as a country and as a world power.
I'm luckier than most. I'm semi-retired and comfortable. There's nothing you or a government can do
to interfere with me.
The only decision I have to make today is whether to put 80-gallons of fuel in my boat and go fishing with a buddy.
Now that's childish, eh?
