Voter asks Obama: "Why are you a Christian?"
During yesterday’s political stunt backyard townhall meeting in New Mexico, the Obamessiah was asked “why are you a Christian?” And the lamestream media, being the obedient water-carriers they are, dutifully reported the carefully scripted response from His O-ness.
“I’m a Christian by choice,” Obama told his audience here. “My family didn’t — frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn’t raise me in the church.“So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead — being my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper, treating others as they would treat me,” he continued.
“And I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we’re sinful and we’re flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God,” Obama said. “But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace.”
Oh come on! Every Christian is, by definition, “Christian by choice.” Do Obama’s script writers actually believe that precepts are what supposedly convinced him to believe in Jesus Christ as savior? If procedural religious directives are all that influenced his decision, then he could have just as easily been a member any other religion. I also don’t believe his misguided claim of “being my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper.” His inattention to his actual half-brother in Kenya invalidates that misapplied invocation of scripture. I’m no Biblical scholar, but I’m pretty sure Jesus never said we should be our brother’s keeper. That was Cain’s attempt to avoid responsibility after he had murdered his brother Abel, and God asked him where his brother was. Cain answered, “I know not; am I my brother’s keeper?”
Personally, I think Obama should have said (as should any politician who is asked about their religion) that his beliefs are his own business and nobody else’s. I don’t know what religion the president follows, and frankly, I don’t care. It is his policies I abhor, not his religious beliefs.
Does anyone really believe this wasn’t a contrived political feint? It was clearly designed to tamp down the growing number of Americans who doubt the president’s profession of faith because of his actions (such as repeatedly omitting “Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence or covering up Jesus when speaking at Georgetown University). Yesterday’s mini-circus conveniently takes the focus off Obama’s disastrous policies and incompetent piloting of the U.S. ship of state. His painstakingly-worded response about being flawed seemed, to me, to be a disingenuous appeal to Christian voters’ forgiveness.
Sorry, Chairman Zero. We aren’t buying what you’re selling.
Far more telling than his “Christianity” farce was Obama’s Freudian slip, referring to illegal immigrants as “us” while he condemned opponents of amnesty for illegals.
“Now, unfortunately, right now this is getting demagogued,” Obama said. “A lot of folks think it’s an easy way to score political points is by trying to act as if there’s a ‘them’ and an ‘us,’ instead of just an ‘us.’ And I’m always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together. I think now is the time for us to come together.”
I agree: it IS time for the American people to come together around our founding principles and reject the socialists among us who seek to “change” our great nation into some feeble European version of itself. Even if they wrap themselves in pseudo-Christianity and lofty rhetoric just before an election.

Is there any doubt remaining that this dude is not a blatant liar?
Is there any doubt remaining that this dude makes Jimmy Carter look competent?
There shouldn't be.
First of all 'we' Christian's don't "Achieve Salvation" that key word suggests it's something we can earn. He did say through Grace though, so he's definitely sending two messages.A lot of people deduce what Christ did as an act that we 'all' can do for one another. His Sacrifice on the Cross wasn't just to show humility, He is God, a perfect sinless, unblemished sacrifice. Also, we don't "See God" in others, they are not gods. That is an eastern pagan teaching. The term, Namaste; means 'I bow to the divine in you.' The bible says when we are not saved we are enemies of God, we are not walking around being god to others if we are not saved. Even when we are saved we are still not like God. Another false teaching. He's been taught by some pretty messed up people with twisted interfaith heresy mixed in. He's giving his social justice version of Christ-likeness, but denying the Power Therein. This is Romans 1. Clearly it was a stunt and those who don't know their bible will be deceived by his mixed messages.
