Now why would he do that, him being a Christian and all?
________________________________________________________________
Yeah, that is odd. Especially since he is always talking about Jesus being his personal savior. And how his conversion to Christianity from his Muslim upbringing and his baptism into the body of Christ was the best thing that ever happened to him and his family.
You can’t get him to shut up about his conversion to Christianity and he hardly ever talks about Allah, and Muslims, or Islam, or Islamic traditions and holidays ever.
Strange isn’t it?
This was revised after the first Thanksgiving Message sent out to the press simply said "Your welcome".... White House officials said the message was sent by mistake....
RINO’s too
I'm thankful for four year terms.
Thanks for posting this ... it just so clearly illustrates the contrast between the true father of our country and the principles upon which it was founded, and what we have in there now coupled with what we have become.
No surprise.
“One nation, under God...”
Obama is very keen to fragment the nation in order to isolate and manipulate his own, personal voting bloc.
Godless Communist!
So at the store, I saw a Butterball turkey and looked all over for a halal mark of the devil on it and couldn’t find anything.
What do I look for to see if something is halal?
I still didn’t buy it. And, by the way, SUBWAY, you lost a faithful customer in my husband. He is a Christian and refuses to eat food shit on by a muslim that is not fit for a dog.
Thought you’d want to know.
And we don’t care that it is only 2 restaurants in the USA that are halal- SO FAR. You let the camel’s nose in the tent.
Just you wait until they TELL you that you can’t serve ham or bacon on any subs. You don’t know it yet, but Subway isn’t owned by Subway any more.
awesome. Thank you!
Everthing with this guy is about service. One of these days he is going to have a brain fart and actually say “Allah be praised for this wonderful Thanksgiving holiday”. Maybe next year when he’s packing up the prayer rug and getting ready to head back to Chicago.
A Muslim can’t thank God. He would have to thank Allah, and that would blow his cover. Plus, it is not Ramadan so he can’t thank Allah anyway.
Anybody who still doesn’t know Obama is a Muslim is either stupid or willfully blind.

President Obama’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation
November 24, 2012
From my family to yours, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving! Like millions of Americans, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will spend the day eating great food, watching a little football, and reflecting on how grateful we are that my administration’s policies are beginning to take effect.
We are especially thankful for your support that has made our achievements possible.
But, there are many other blessings we share today.
We’re grateful that men and women defending our country overseas can now freely love others of the same sex without fear of court-marshal thanks to my policy changes. To all the gay service members eating Thanksgiving dinner far from others in the GLBT community let me say: the American people are thinking of you. And you can be sure that when you come home, we intend to host in your honor the biggest Pride Parade that we can.
We’re also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to gather in tents on the cold streets of our major cities expressing their First Amendment rights to protest the exploitation of the top one percent of wealth hoarders. It brings tears to my eyes to know that someone is sticking up for the little guys out there being crushed by the powers of capitalism. The Occupy Wall Street patriots dare to stand up for the dream of income equality for all! We can be thankful that my administration is setting the course to transfer more wealth from those with too much in our society to those who are needy, poor and marginalized.
The very first Thanksgiving was a celebration of socialist community during a time of great hardship, and we have followed that example ever since. Even when the fate of our union was uncertain – during a Civil War, two World Wars, a Great Depression – the Stonewall riots — the Carter Administration — Woodstock — Americans drew strength from each other. They had revolutionary faith that demanding rights through class struggle will truly yield a tomorrow that is better than today.
As we gather around the table, we pause to remember the socialist pilgrims, gay rights pioneers, and feminists patriots who gave us the grand vision that this country might be great one day. Now it’s our turn to mount up against the capitalist oppressors, racist cabals and out of control bankers who are trying to hold us down. Today we are thankful for worker unity! We know that the forces of greed will not prevail against the onslaught of the people!
I know that with 9.2 percent unemployment, high food and gas prices, record low economic indicators across the board, this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most. But no matter how tough things are, we still take comfort in being able to argue that the problems we face didn’t develop overnight, and we won’t solve them overnight. We can still blame the other party and those who led it during the backward Bush years for getting us into this mess! For that I am truly thankful.
So today, I’m thankful to my supporters and generous donors who make it possible for me to serve as President and Commander-and-Chief. I am profoundly grateful to have had this chance the last three years to travel the world apologizing for America’s wrongs and to stand up for hope and change. I’m thankful that my daughters will get a chance to grow up in a country that is steadily being transformed into a place we can all be proud of soon.
Thanks to you all, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank You Rev. Wright. ;)
He doesn’t mention “God” because his translation for “God” is “Allah” and he cannot confirm this officially. This man is a Muslim...
And here is a link and text to GWB’s last Thanksgiving Address. He also fails to thank God.

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This week, Americans gather with loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving. This holiday season is a time of fellowship and peace. And it is a time to give thanks for our many blessings.
During this holiday season, we give thanks for generations of Americans who overcame hardships to create and sustain a free Nation. When the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving nearly four centuries ago, they had already suffered through a harsh and bitter winter. But they were willing to endure that adversity to live in a land where they could worship the Almighty without persecution. When President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, the United States was in the midst of a terrible civil war. But in that hour of trial he gave thanks — because he believed America would weather the storm and emerge into a new era of liberty.
During this holiday season, we give thanks for those who defend our freedom. America’s men and women in uniform deserve our highest respect — and so do the families who love and support them. Lately, I have been asked what I will miss about the presidency. And my answer is that I will miss being the Commander-in-Chief of these brave warriors. In this special time of year, when many of them are serving in distant lands, they are in the thoughts and prayers of all Americans.
During this holiday season, we give thanks for the kindness of citizens throughout our Nation. It is a testament to the goodness of our people that on Thanksgiving, millions of Americans reach out to those who have little. The true spirit of the holidays can be seen in the generous volunteers who bring comfort to the poor and the sick and the elderly. These men and women are selfless members of our Nation’s armies of compassion — and they make our country a better place, one heart and one soul at a time.
Finally, I have a special note of thanks to the American people. On this, my last Thanksgiving as your President, I am thankful for the good will, kind words, and heartfelt prayers that so many of you have offered me during the past eight years. I have been blessed to represent such decent, brave, and caring people. For that, I will always be grateful, and I will always be honored. Thank you for listening.
