1% of this country thinks Obama is Jewish??? That's too bizarre
from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press:

Christian 57%
Muslim 12%
Jewish 1%
Something else 2%
Don’t know - Heard different things 10%
Don’t know - Haven’t heard enough 15%
Refused 3%


Jewish...uhhhhh, yeah... I see

37% of the country totally missed the Rev Wright stories... I guess they were too busy following Christie Brinkley's divorce or watching faux news.

As to the 2%... Buddhist?, Zoroastrian?, Animist?

What's most disturbing...43% of the idiots taking this poll don't think he's a Christian.
Again... Did they just miss the Rev Wright story???

2. Maybe they're jokers.

Who knows? I think that 12% is something we ought to be worried about if anything.

The media kind of blurred the lines in the Wright story, connecting Islam with black liberation theology.

8. Oy!
I thought he was just a mensch.

Who knew??

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.

25. Okay...normally I'd take credit for that, but...
...I can't say that the Truthiness Encyclopedia has ever...wait...hold the phone...yes, yes...it appears that Wikiality.com has included in the many "rumors" we've "spread" about Obama, one that says he is part Jewish.

I wonder if people would continue to spread those lies if they knew a satirical site based on a joke by Stephen Colbert started it?

Barack Hussein Obama's great-uncle helped to liberate the concentration camp at Buchenwald during World War II, which makes Obama half-Jewish.

Wikiality.com


I don't know whether to apologize or see which of many of the rumors we've posted gets in the news.
