Yes Barack HUSSEIN Obama hosted a Islamic Ramadan Dinner which is a Islamic Holy Month but you might remember that Obama pretty much ignored the Christian National Day of Prayer which Robert “Beltway Bob” Gibbs stating…
“I think the president understands, in his own life and in his family’s life, the role that prayer plays,” Gibbs said. “And I would denote that the administrations prior to the past one did proclamations. That’s the way the president will publicly observe the national prayer day. But, as I said, privately, he’ll pray as he does every day.”
Oh privately for the Christian Day of Prayer but publicly for the Islamic Ramadan Holy Month, something really wrong with that picture.
Obama Calls Islam ‘Great Religion’ at Ramadan Dinner
Obama hosts dinner for Islamic holy month
President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation’s culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,” Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday’s daily fast.
I think I’m going to puke.
Now in all fairness Bush held these dinners to, but Bush never blew off the National Day of Prayer with some made up press release about doing it privately. Somehow I think Obama quite enjoyed Ramadan whereas Bush likely did it out of obligation. After all who BOWED and who didn’t?

Don’t tell me that Obama is an American…he’s not – but I do know he’s a puppet …I just hope America wakes up in time to put someone else in his place. I can’t say what I really think….I feel like we are nurturing a nightmare in the Whitehouse. I truely believe that he is the anti-christ – Read your Bible.
Wow…you guys are a bunch of uneducated fools and a real embarrassment to Americans. The whole world watches in wonder as people like you expose the ugly underbelly of American stupidity. No wonder the most educated and affluent areas in the US vote (D) whereas the ignorant and easily manipulated vote (R). Even in VA, the northern more educated part is solid (D).
Better check your facts genius instead of tossing around made up vague statistics.
They aren’t made up statistics. These are facts even though it hurts your sensibilities. Another fact is the ramadan dinner is a practice instituted by Bush after 9-11 to reach out to the muslim community.
