Simply put, Obama’s actions have leaned more toward a Muslim favoring than a Christian favoring when it comes to proclamations or messages, while claiming to be Christian, which would usually naturally make one assume a bias toward Muslim ideology; of course one could be wrong in that assumption given the lopsided nature of media coverage on this issue. Of course, the other side, Democrats and the media will immediately jump in and say that this is bias or racism, and whatnot to divert attention away from the obvious.

This is an issue manufactured by FOX news and right-wing commentators to try to further their ridiculous campaign to convince Christian voters that Obama is unworthy of the presidency because he’s somehow not really a Christian.

I take it you didn’t notice that Media Matters completely avoided the story Fox was reporting: namely that the President issued []official statements via whitehouse.gov](http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-and-releases) commemorating the major Muslim holidays this year, but quite noticeably did not do so for Easter.

The Media Matters article appears to be nothing more than a string of tangential facts cobbled together to create the illusion that somehow Fox got its story wrong, when in fact, nothing Fox reported was false.
 
Because it’s the only way to push the “secret Muslim” agenda.

Well, I guess that settles it, Obama is a Muslim, and therefore evil. :rolleyes:

Well, there’s that too 😉

But even more, every time he says a word about anything remotely Christian in nature, he’s criticized for either not being sincere, or not being good enough, or flat out not acceptable at all. So for some, there really is no difference whether he says something or not. If he says something, it’s not good enough and his opponents complain. If he doesn’t say anything at all, it’s not good enough and his opponents complain. No matter what he does, someone complains.

So? This is the USA’s chief executive officer we’re talking about. Refraining from making any statements at all for fear of criticism is far less respectable than making a statement that’ll probably be nit-picked by his detractors. Would you rather have a politician or a statesman at the helm?

Well, first of all, I’d rather have someone at the helm who considers all of the people who he is serving rather than one group, and see to the needs of all of the people who he is serving rather than just one group. Second of all, I wouldn’t require the President to acknowedge any one group’s holidays at all. It’s nice when he does, but it’s not required. And if a particular group insults him every time he opens his mouth, no, I wouldn’t care whether or not he commented on that groups holidays. I don’t see the point. And further, I don’t think he “fears criticism”, I think he didn’t think it was important enough. Easter is certainly not a matter of the state. And third of all, it’s not going to make or break my day if the President acknowledges that it is Easter. In fact, I didn’t know that the previous Presidents did so until reading this thread…that’s how much it will make or break my day.
