I ask again... WHO CARES!?!?!?!?

If he worshiped worms n' bugs, so as long as it didn't interfere with his positions/policies, why does it matter?

Why do people care so much about religion in this country?

I'm not sure they do? He was elected President by a majority of the country. All I ask for is consistency. He can't have it both ways. And had he told his audience in Cairo of his acceptence of Jesus instead of making up who invented the pen and his family's Islamic background you would have witnessed a country who cares far more about religion than we can ever imagine.

By the way I'd never vote for anyone who worshipped worms and bugs even if they were the most conservative repulican in history. But that's just me.

Especially in politicians who are probably the least likely group to have any real religious conviction. Knock his policy because lord knows there is plenty to knock. But his being or not being a Muslim doesnt and shouldnt really matter.

If the Republican Party took the above to heart,
they could win some elections again after the 8
year mess (really a 6 year mess imo). The Democrats turn to
run the country in a very difficult economy.

Thank god we have finally elected an intelligent and highly educated President, who can speak on a world stage, and start to regain the respect America has lost in the world. A President with a sophisticated world view.

sort of in a cameleon-like way? Who compares Palestinians to slaves, brags about all the great Islamic accomplishments leaving out the lack of human rights especially to women. Bashing Germany for its role in WWII. Standing up for N.Korea having a 'right' to nuclear power. Sitting for a scolding by South American Dictators while concentrating on the dinner show. Yea that will give America respect but from who? Me not thinks Isreal or Germany... Maybe we can follow some of those customs from the great Islamic culture and free up some highway traffic, produce jobs for men and allow more males to attend college.

I don't know where you are getting your information, but it sure differs from what I've seen.

You do realize Obama talked specificially about woman's rights in Islam in the Cairo speech, attacking the lack thereof? Guess not.

I also missed the "Palastinian as slave" reference. And the "bashing Germany for it's role in WWII" is a pretty broad and hardly accurate reference.

Hey, you're free to hate the guy, which you obviously do. But trying to manufacture untruths to justify it is fairly transparent.

I want to know how we get respect when our President over and over just apologizes for his county. For OUR country. Its really making me sick.

Thought President Obama's speech on D-Day was good.. the French Presidents speech was the best one though.

Was a nice ceremony.

Where does he "over and over apologizes for his country?" What are you talking about?

The Republican party has to be willing to step back up and dampen down the extreme, ultra-conservative far-right zealot wing of the party (about 24% of registered GOP voters) - not continue to let them run the show and be the public face of the party. While chasing the other 75% of the GOP away.

The GOP courted this group heavily in order to win the past two elections, and now the GOP is left dealing with the fallout of giving them a voice. This group of GOP members sabotaged McCain's campaign and ensured his non-election just by showing up at GOP rallies and speaking.

After watching the GOP elite cowtow to Rush Limbaugh, however, earlier in the year, I'll be surprised if that happens between now and 2012. But one can always hope. I think we just have to let this part of the party literally die out. The age demographics of the entire country are working against this segment of the GOP, and in favor of the Democrats, over the next 20 years.

There are plenty of young Republicans less than age 40, let them come up and be the new face of the party, drag the party into this century. Maybe the GOP can be a viable political force again in 2020.

1. Definitely.

Fiscally, there are many Republican views I find
quite sensible and even preferable.

The heavy borrowing has got me scared. (like many others)
All these commercials/infommericals popping up with the
"how you can get bailout money like a big company" crap....

So the last bolded would be nice so I could have a viable choice.
