Muslim Prayer at DNC

[john fallon]

In a country that does not allow prayers in public school, I find a religious invocation at a national convention* from any denomination a bit strange.

*PARTY CONVENTION AND GENERAL ELECTION GRANTS

The Presidential nominee of each major party may become eligible for a public grant of $20,000,000 plus COLA (over 1974). For 2012, the grant is approximately $91,241,400 for each major party nominee. With the exception of the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, every major party nominee has accepted the general election grant since the program's inception in 1976. Candidates themselves may not raise any other funds to be used for campaigning during the general election period.

Public grants of $18,248,300 went to each of the major parties for their conventions in 2012

the leader of the southern baptist is black by the way, are you mike lardy in disguiss

I wish I was. It would be pretty cool to train dogs for a living. I think so anyway.

the problem with obama to me is his change of character, he as a christain before first election, he was against gay marriage as well. i mean really. what a turn around

I think the other guy has done his share of flip flopping on issues that are a bit controversial too. Am I correct in my assumption of the other candidate changing his mind frequently to pander to the party?

I thought you left?
the difference here is that you posted a completly fabricated lie and left it posted even though you learned the truth, that makes you a liar. This snopes "article" doesn't say anything that wasn't posted by the op except maybe the part as to whether the muslim stuff was part of the DNC or not. In this case we still don't know for sure which source is true.
For the record, I still don't know what the truth is in this story and will withhold my opinion until I know for sure.

Has anyone noticed that anything against Obama is always not true its always a lie and everything against Romney is true. This is the Catholic cardinal that is suing Obama for birth control mandate so now it looks good for Obama to let him give the closing prayer. Obama is always doing whatever it takes to look good. SO we dont believe anything we read or hear we only go to snopes for the truth?

The Cardinal is NOW giving the ending prayer at the DNC because Obama looked so bad by dissing him. This is the Catholic that is suing Obama for birth control mandate so now it looks good for Obama to let him give the prayer. Obama is always doing wwhatever it takes to look good.

Weren't the Catholics suing Romney because to his birth control mandates?
