Both Judaism and Hinduisms are the oldest organized religions from which all other proselytizing religions are born! The religious ideas of proselytizing and conversion and central divine authority like Buddha spread from India to the west where the jews amalgamated and found Christianity with the same principles of central divine figure of jesus,monk hood,evangelists and even the eastern way of praying with clasped hands have gone from india! Obama honors the mother religion of mankind!

@onstageagain You dimwit -- the avg American, of which you are obviously one, doesn't know the difference between Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and will pretty much believe what any other White person in power tells them which is why they no longer have jobs or homes or much of anything else. Dick brain!

@Animosity2UandU At the time of 911 , almost 90% of the Americans people wanted to go to war with Irack. what suddenly happen? turn coats. I remember rants to the tune of " come on cowboy , whats your problem , I though you wore boots in Texas... wheres your guns , holsters empty? U display the brains of a child... your a idiot... as most of the UTube hangers on are.

@onstageagain Of course bush who started two wars and Reagan who was the first spend but don't tax President who set this whole downward spiral in motion had nothing to do with our current economic problems? You are an idiot an inveterate liar to boot!

[onstageagain]

@Animosity2UandU Oh really? Im a idiot & Ur a UTube Genius? Well trust me Utube genius, Im far from a idiot. Ive had more education than U have years on this planet. To say this bozo Obama is spending like drunken a sailor is an insult to drunken sailor The difference between Obama, & a drunken sailor is that drunken sailor is spending his own $. Anyone who does not understand the utter cynicism of politics does not understand politics. Ur knowledge of this subject is non existent.

@onstageagain You're an idiot!

[onstageagain]

Obama should seek advice from Carter ! He is a socialist & wants to own health care, business, taxes. He's not for the common man...

The dems are delusional. Its all over for them & this so called leader, It will be a landslide defeat & I can't wait.

@Animosity2UandU Unapperciated! Love this guy? For what?

The personal qualities necessary for attaining office are practically the opposite of those demanded by the office itself. Trouble with the system is it, selects for the skills needed to get elected, nothing else. A test U can only pass by cheating can't possibly select honest people, by nature, Hes a liar! We elected a man to represent the most powerful country in the world with Zero accomplishments. That hasn't changed!
