Poll shows more Americans think Obama is a Muslim

[JanieDough]

Seriously???

The number of Americans who believe -- wrongly -- that President Obama is a Muslim has increased significantly since his inauguration and now accounts for nearly 20 percent of the nation's population.

What does this say about the American people? Hysterical? Stupid?

And so what if he was???!!

Not all Muslims are bad. I feel like a kindergarten teacher when I say that....

i always thought he was...dont reely care, he was born in the states...obviously....and got the respect from numerous pplz to become president, so screw it, muslim or not, hes my president, and we will have a new one that might be islamic in the next 7 years, but ya know what...if that person can do it...than they deserve to be where they are. this is america, discrimination is all over the place, but it shouldnt be. if any american has a problem with that, than your in the wrong country you are no american.

I wonder what the percentage of people who actually believe Obama is going to change anything is.... that is a bigger concern...

he's no less a corporate puppet than Bush, or any of them really. The change will be minimal. Especially given the recession he's fighting against...

He's allowed a maximum of 4 terms. So by 2022 or so, he should have things fixed.

I'm thinking he should borrow 10 minutes air time and announce to the entire country once again that he is not Muslim.

After the second term he has to skip one, then he can run again can't he?

 

[porterjack]

in any event it will take more than two terms to fix the situation

 

[darkangel]

I think thats how it works...

 

[darkangel]

Yeah but he will put a dent in it!

 

[porterjack]

i admire your optimism

 

[edgray]

He can never "fix" things. For all Obama wants to do good, he cannot overcome the corporatocracy that governs not only the US but the world.

A shameless link to another thread, but please everyone, watch Zeitgeist Addendum, it makes you realise politicians can't do anything to change the world.

Nope, it doesn't matter if they're non-consecutive or not, no more than 2 terms.
