    Jay Carney says 'Obama focused on policy, not questions about his faith'

    Washington, Feb 22 (ANI): White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has said that President Barack Obama is focused on policy and helping the middle class, and not questions raised by Republican candidate Rick Santorum and Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, over his faith.

    "I did meet with the president this morning, and amazingly, he didn't bring this up," Politico quoted Carney, as saying.

    "This president is focused on doing the things that he believes the American people elected him to do," he added.

    Former US Senator Santorum recently said that Obama is guided by 'some phony ideal, some phony theology.'

    He later said he was referring to Obama's ties to environmentalism, but a spokesperson on MSNBC misspoke and said he was referring to Obama's ties to Islam.

    Controversial pastor Graham said on Tuesday that he was not sure that Obama was a Christian, but that he 'assumed' it was true. (ANI)

      Jay Carney appears to have been promoted to Court Jester. Every thing he says is a joke!

        Actually, I take him very seriously because everything he says is Orwellian double-speak.

      Only God knows a person's "heart belief", but no interviewer would accept that answer.

      Did you happen to see the yahoo article today about Mormons trying to baptise the Jewish WWII icon Anne Frank? It's absolutly SICK that any religion would want to steal someones soul away from their own religion after they are dead! Mormons can kiss my #$%$

        Brian, you really think a soul is a commodity, and can be traded, sold, or taken. That's making things up.

      Maybe Obama should just remember this:The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

        And his weekly concerts in the White House.
      • buzzkiller53 3 months ago
        He should have concentrated on jobs, jobs, jobs and a lower Corprate Tax rate from day one instead of ramming a health care program down out throats.

        He's worried about union jobs, illegals' jobs, govt. jobs, and his own....the rest of you can fend for yourselves and PAY for the "goodies" he's promised to a "select few".

      All faiths / religions have houses of worship where those who believe go to pray to the divinity of their conviction the White House is not one of them!
      • BPatMan 3 months ago
        Obama probably has some closet in the White House that is all decked out in occultist symbols and black candles.
      • SE3.5 3 months ago
        His prayer closet has pictures of himself.
    • charlemagne  •  3 months ago
      Carney be honest for once in your life. The president is focused on campaigning and fundraising, with a little break here and there for concerts and coming up soon, his NCAA bracket.

      Where are all the news articles about rising gas prices?
      Another free media pass for the president. Gas prices were $1.84 per gallon in Sept,2008
      . On June 11,2008, Obama said the following on an interview on MSNBC;
      "According to Barack Obama, high gas prices don’t really constitute a problem for Americans. He stated yesterday that the reason for our anger is the rapid increase in prices, not the prices themselves. Obama claimed that Americans would have accepted a “gradual adjustment” to the current cost".

      All seems to be going well for him and his master plan!

      As a parent,an Independant, and a Christian ,I do believe you dont expose your children to the militant brand of Socialism,anti Americanism,and bigotry of Rev. Wright ,unless you hold the same beliefs. I wouldnt want a president who attended Klan meetings for 20 years,and I dont like haveing a prez who spent 20 years supporting his spiritual mentor Rev. Wright.

      jay smarmy is incorrect. obama is focused on... obama.
    • allan  •  New York, United States  •  3 months ago
      It's all about jobs, stupid. To paraphrase Clinton from 1992.
    • SE3.5  •  Indianapolis, United States  •  3 months ago
      He is probably focused on his navel.
    • roger mac  •  Pontiac, United States  •  3 months ago
      "If the political winds turn ugly I will side with the muslims". "Theres no more beautiful sound than the muslim call to prayer". I believe these and other Obama quotes should settle this arguement.
    • Robert  •  West Allis, United States  •  3 months ago
      Why, all of a sudden, is Barack Obama concerned about doing the job he was elected to do? Why hasn't he always felt this way?
    • Brian  •  Palm Harbor, United States  •  3 months ago
      If you think what religion or how much faith any president of the USA has should have any effect on his ability to be a sucessful president then YOU are part of the problem in this country!
    • Chi-townBrown  •  3 months ago
      Yeah - the only time 0bama only wants us to focus on his Christian faith is when he's putting his greedy paws deeper into our pockets.

      carney is an idiot. Just like gibbs, he touts obuma as a savior but America sees through this liar. obuma hides his college records because he attended as barry soetoro on a foreign scholarship, carries a CT dead man's social security card from 1981 (what took so long to get barry), fake birth certificate totally ignored and the states are fighting back against this fraud, and his travel to Pakistan in 1981 on a foreign visa, ALL hid by his administration, the dumocraps, and the leftnut lib media pukes. America now sees the destruction of our freedoms by these groups. obuma LIED, freedom DIED!!!!!!!
