Not to mention, this is the man whose first 4 years in office were largely marred by and tarnished by the deluded and insane debate over whether he was a muslim or not. A debate which he put to rest on no fewer than 3 occasions with documented evidence that some complete whack jobs still believe was forged.

Is it any ****ing wonder he talks about that ****? He stands more to gain by playing up the religious angle than by fighting from a completely secular position.
