That article says NOTHING about Obama praying with Muslims. It never happened.

Snopes explains well that there's no longstanding tradition of a National Prayer Dinner. Reagan only had 1 in 8 years. GHWBush only had 1 in 4 years. Clinton never had any at all. It was only that warmonger GWBush who tried to start an annual 'tradition.'

Just because Obama didn't have a dinner doesn't mean he won't ever have one.

Unreliable garbage.

I watched with sadness, anger and disgust the circus atmosphere that was on display by Donald Trump. I really had thought my country was better than this, sadly, it is not.

Why Obama shouldn't have had to 'show his papers'

By Goldie Taylor

11:36 AM on 04/27/2011

"Show me your papers!"
Major Blackard, then just 19 years old, dug into his trousers in search of his wallet. He padded his jacket, but could not find his billfold.
"Sir, I done left my wallet..." Blackard said. Before he could finish his sentence, the young man was posted against the brick wall, cuffed and taken to the St. Louis city jail. Unable to prove his identity, he would spend the next 21 days in a cramped, musty cell. That's where his older brother Matt found him, beaten and bloodied. Matt returned with Major's employer later that day, wallet and identification card in hand, to post bond.
The year was 1899. Major Blackard was my great, great grandfather.
The real crime, as Pulitzer Prize winning author Doug Blackmon points on in his seminal work Slavery by Any Other Name, was that my grandfather was a colored man in America.

This morning, as White House staffers released copies of the president's long form birth certificate, I couldn't shake the feeling that something very ugly was going on. For the first time in recorded history, a sitting president of the United States found it necessary to produce his original birth certificate for public inspection. Not once, in 235 years, have we ever demanded proof that our president was born on American soil.
In a stunning display of unchecked ego, Donald Trump quickly hosted a news conference, during which he took credit for forcing President Obama's hand. The sometime real estate developer, socialite, author and television personality went on to caution onlookers to let "experts" examine the document. Lest the president continue perpetrating was Trump has called potentially the "biggest fraud in American history."

For weeks, the thrice married, comb-over construction magnate has enthralled news reporters with his apocalyptic ranting. Trump openly questioned whether President Obama belonged in the White House, a boardroom, or even an Ivy League lecture hall.
And we let him.
We used all manner of excuses to justify giving Trump as much oxygen as he could suck up. Rarely, if ever, did we press him to produce a shard of evidence to substantiate his wild claims. We smiled gingerly as he all but called us stupid sycophants who were in cahoots with an illegitimate president. We allowed him to hold court on issues on which he clearly has no knowledge and no credibility, beyond the limo ride briefings he apparently receives from his merry band of "yes men."

I dislike Donald Trump immensly. This country is overly obsessed with money and I think that is why people our attracted to him. I can't think of any other reasons.

Unreliable garbage.

'The Christian Science Monitor' credited Snopes as an authoritative source when they debunked the myth that President Obama had 'cancelled' the National Day of Prayer interfaith observance at the WH. The CSM is a well-respected publication.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0506/National-Day-of-Prayer-is-on-despite-court-ruling

Obama didn't 'cancel' anything. Just like President Clinton never held one.....Obama also hasn't held one. But Obama did make a National Day of Prayer Proclamation last year & the year before (& likely will this year as well). In fact Obama told the Attorney General's office to fight against a private lawsuit trying to cancel the NDP law that Congress had passed a few years back & trying to prevent Obama from issuing his proclamation in favor the NDP.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/14/national-day-of-prayer-_n_849295.html

Recently the appeals court found in favor of the NDP law & in favor of Obama's right to proclaim the NDP.

Not sure why people keep trying to accuse Obama of being against the NDP. He's not.

Can't people find things he actually has done wrong to accuse him over??

Frankly I think Obama's alot more conservative than many people realize. Look at how he hasn't helped the 99ers or even mentioned the 99ers. Look at how he supported tax cuts for the wealthy. Look at how he's accepted cuts to food stamps & cancellation of the whole TANF jobs program. Look at how he's supported the outsourcing of jobs.

If I remember correctly, Pres. Obama recently attended the National Prayer Breakfast, which is neither government funded nor endorsed.

As a Christian, I don't need the government to recommend a particular day for me to pray, and for those who are not people people who pray (which could well be the majority), I can see such a proclamation as turning them further against religion (and the government).

Should we also have a National Day of Church Attendance?

by Guest Thu Apr 28, 2011 12:56 am

The world is in a toilet ready to be flushed. We are still in 2 wars trying to into #3. Unemployment is out of control and no one still has jobs availble. Who cares if he was born on Mars? The Muslims thing has gone on long enough. Its not true. Media crap. If he chooses to support Muslims and their religion, so be it. It is not the terrorist stuff people equate it with since 9-11.

I'm confused now. From the urban legends site:

Forwarded email alleges that the urban legend debunking site Snopes.com is 'owned by a flaming liberal' who is 'in the tank for Obama' and can't be trusted to provide reliable information.

Description: Email rumor
Circulating since: Oct. 2008
Status: False

Read this article from urban legends. It states the rumor email against Snopes was false. I copied and pasted the top portion of the article. There are better details in the complete article.

Easy, political BS

Let the media know that we want true Journalism and not all the FLUFF that they throw at us.

Please sign the petition: [url=http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/dump-trump/]http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/dump-trump/

To all the media giants: Huffington Post, NBC, FOX NEWS, CNN, CBS, ABC, The New York Times, The Daily Beast, The Blaze, etc.

Please refrain from feeding into Trump's obvious attempts at ratings, profits and power. Isn't it ridiculous that the presidential election can be manipulated in this way. Let's not let that happen. Instead, lets support a serious dialogue about national leadership and the important issues facing our nation. Dump Trump!
