michelle, you keep pontificating false rhetoric. You've been proven wrong time and time again. Do you just post and never read the responses? The Pledge of Allegiance rumor has been proven a lie, it was the National Anthem. You don't cross you heart to the Nat'l Anthem. He's not Muslim. Muslim's pray 6 times a day. Quite difficult to do on the campaign trail. Also, he eats pork. He loves bbq ribs. What good muslim would eat pork? Lastly, type in "cnn" and "muslim" and "obama" in a search engine. Read cnn's total debunking of your rumors and post a retraction. What YOU are doing is unethical and dangerous. Please don't spread lies and then talk about the Bible. You seem to be a deceiver. The Bible speaks of that too.

I just want to say to all who support Obama as president that, even though he is your choice, I am NOT in favor of him. First off, he turns his back to our flag and the pledge of allegiance. Do you all really want a president who does that?? Second, he is MUSLIM and muslims really hate the USA. If he gets president, our country is going to be in a worse shape than it already is. I believe in the Bible and all the things that the Bible predicts and time before the End is already happening. So vote for Obama if you want to. That is your choice but I seriously think everyone who does vote for him is going to regret it. These times are scary and the thought that scares me the most and wakes me up in the middle of the night is the fact that Obama is in the presidential race. I am currently praying, and hoping, Obama doesn't win the election. Instead of being swooned by Obama's lies, we need to BE ON OUR KNEES AND PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY!!

Jon, Please don't call people co-crazies. Remember, at one time your spiritual eyes were blind and your spiritual ears were deaf, just as theirs are. Christ died for them and loves them as much as He loves you. Pray for them instead of ridiculing them. Diane, you are absolutely correct . Surely our Heavenly Father's heart is grieving for these little ones.
