Politico has released a piece that begins as follows: "Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to 'improve it.'" This is a truly remarkable sentence. Legislation that the Congressional Budget Office says would cost about $2.5 trillion in its real first decade (2014 to 2023) wouldn't do the one thing that Americans most want out of health-care legislation: cut health care costs. It wouldn't, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary, cut deficits. But, on the bright side, it can (allegedly) be improved. That's an amazingly tepid claim to make on behalf of something with Obamacare's price tag. The truth is that Obamacare cannot be improved. It can only be repealed. It was passed as "comprehensive legislation," and it must be repealed comprehensively. The vast majority of Americans recognize this. Rasmussen's latest survey of likely voters shows Americans favoring repeal by the overwhelming tally of 60 to 36 percent. This 24-point margin is Rasmussen's 2nd-highest in the 21 polls it has conducted in the five months since passage, despite, as Politico puts it, "the White House's all-out communications effort" in the interim – much of it at taxpayer expense.

The video itself says it isn't proof of anything. So, if anything, you're lying about what the video "proves" which makes it more likely to prove you a loon than Obama a Moslem.
BTW, thanks for once again displaying your hypocrisy by allowing Tull to accuse me of wanting to molest my own grand daughter stand without any action by you. A true act of Christian Charity in your part to Tull. I'm overwhelmed by your example.
:P
When did you lose your hair?
Of course it is God who knows. But when Jesus said he is the ONLY way and NOONE comes to God except through him. And you have Obama calling the Koran "holy". It is a pretty gigantic clue.
This is the first I've heard of it. I hope he isn't right.
You're such a loser aka.

Tull controls you. I don't get that. On second thought they have a term for that. I don't even know why he comes over here or why you participate at 4um, since they (tull) banned you not that long ago.

And yet here you are the one spending most of the day stalking those you banned. What a great LE example you are, not to mention time waster. Surely your gal Palin will find a position for you in her cabinet, after you put 'internet chat sites stalker' on your resume.
Well said Fredo!

I don't suppose its occurred to you that the tape was made pulling quotes and images out of context and over time to lead you by the nose to just that conclusion.
You can't watch this video and not come to the conclusion that Obama is a muslim.
#85. To: A K A Stone (#59)
Why not?
Obama regularly calls the Koran the "holy Koran" No christian would do that.

He knows.

"Islam traces its origins back to God's call on Abraham. And Ramadan commemorates the revelation of God's word in the Holy Koran to the prophet Mohammad -- a word that is read and recited with special attention and reverence by Muslims during this season." --George W. "Boy Blunder" Bush 12/10/2002.

If that's the quality of your thinking, why would I take seriously anything you assert?
So that is why you think Obama was born in Hawaii. Got ya.

It's funny how so many people have managed to forget George's position on Islam, just like they've managed to forget that TARP happened under his administration.

You mean this position? __ US Muslims bristle at Bush term "Islamic fascists" By Amanda Beck WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions. U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda. "We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group. "We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a religious war against Islam and Muslims," he told a news conference in Washington. "We urge him (Bush) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves." Awad said U.S. officials should take the lead from their British counterparts who had steered clear of using what he considered inflammatory terms when they announced the arrest of more than 20 suspects in the reported plot. Hours after the news broke, Bush said it was "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."
It's funny how so many people have managed to forget George's position on Islam

Except he described our opponents as 'Islamofacists' and you clowns went nuts, remember, skippy? (roaring with laughter)

He's another one of those clowns who professes to be "an independent thinker" yet toes the Democrat Party line all the way.

LOL!

Eric, Bush went out of his way to praise Islam, many, many times. The term "Islamic Fascists" refers to a tiny subset of Islam, not Islam itself.

A full decade, and he's NEVER found a postive thing related to anyone or anything from the GOP...excluding the Spector types of course, that jumped ship. He's a well known quantity, and its laughable he dares to even suggest 'independent thought'.

Not every one out there who considers himself a Muslim is familiar enough with the basics of their religion to realize what murdering thugs they are supposed to be. Why would Bush or any statesman want to got out of their way to denigrate these people?

You ever read the Old Testament? You should be shaking in your boots that there are Jews walking around freely.
