A look at where president Barack (Hussein) Obama has taken America thus far.

Does anyone think this is taking America in the right direction?

Does anyone think he may have mislead us when he said he was a Christian?

President Obama may feel that he is a Christian. But since his father was a Muslim, by Islamic beliefs he is a Muslim. Another point is that he spent some of his childhood in Indonesia which is a Muslim country. So I would assume that also influenced his opinions/beliefs to some extent.

The right direction is the one that opposes the direction of those you hate. Doesn't it? What do you think is the right direction?
Not me. I'm not an idiot. I know too many Christians who claim to be Christians but couldn't be far from it in their actions. I know too many non-Christians who are more Christian than I could ever be.

If he started pushing a Christian agenda, in a Christian majority country, I would be worried. Hitler did that, didn't he?

That's fine, but Obama ran for POTUS claiming to be a Christian, I think most people would care about that.

I believe the single largest problem America has right now is the debt. If we were not suffocating in it our economy would be in great shape like China, instead of nearly in the crapper. I see nothing from Obama wanting to cut into our debt, in fact he wants to try and spend our way out of it. I do not see how you can spend your way out of trillions of debt.

But none of this really has anything to do with all of Obama's questionable moves that all seem to benefit the Muslims.

And which ones are not true? This thread is about the entirety of all these actions by the POTUS and simply asked a reasonable question.

I will pile on. This is from June 14, 2010.

Obama Nominee for Deputy Attorney General Says 9/11 Attacks Not Acts of War, Likens Them to Domestic Crimes of Murder, Rape
(http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/67704 - broken link)

Despite a resolution by Congress authorizing war against those responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Obama’s nominee to be the number two official at the Justice Department, James Cole, wrote an op-ed in 2002 likening the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to the domestic crimes of murder, rape and child abuse, while arguing that the attackers ought to be treated like domestic criminals.

More blurring of the lines from those nominated by Obama...

I disagree. While debt has been an issue for at least three decades now, religious fanaticism is just as big an issue, especially with the attempt to tie it to political end. For reference, see this thread.
