Samuel Wurzelbacher, the conservative activist popularly known as “Joe the Plumber,” is circulating a letter praising President Barack Obama‘s life story and crediting Christianity with his “miraculous” ascent to the presidency.
Wurzelbacher is the Republican congressional candidate challenging longtime Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur. He gained national fame during the 2008 election after he challenged Obama on tax policy during a campaign stop.
The letter, provided to The Daily Caller, strikes a respectful tone, at one point saying that Obama “came to Christ and he is my brother.” Fringe Obama opponents often claim that the president is secretly a Muslim.
“It’s not … well, Christian” to question Obama’s religious faith, wrote Wurzelbacher.
“One of the reasons I really dig Christianity is that it’s so incredibly powerful and amazing,” he wrote. “The lives of millions of people have been given meaning by their faith in Christ. And what better confirmation of that strength do we have than the life story of President Obama?”
Wurzelbacher then provided a brief summary of the president’s biography, implying that Obama’s Christian faith played a key role in his life’s successes.
“Imagine being the child of a mixed-race marriage – especially in the turbulent 60’s and free-wheeling ’70s,” he wrote. “And when you throw in that dad was a Muslim and mom an atheist – you know it could not have been easy – and they were Communists for crying out loud!
At age six, young Barry was shipped off to Indonesia and exposed to Islam for several years. His parents divorced, he returned to the U.S. and Barack was placed with his grandparents. By the time he got to college, he was experimenting with cocaine, marijuana and even thought about using heroin.”

Zer0 is still a muzzie in my book.
Joe must’ve been paid a visit by some Obama goons.
This is the kind of blather politicians have to spew in order to get elected. Perhaps Joe thnks it will provide innoculation when they try to play the race card.
Another dumbass with no shot.
If a politician supports mass slaughter of babies, it’s impossible not to question their faith.
And asking questions of men does not contradict Christian doctrine.
Joe you shall know them by their fruits. This stupid statement alone will lead Joe to defeat.
I think what Joe wrote needs to be read carefully. Notice how he outlines Zero’s past. Almost seems tongue-in-cheek.
—Joe must’ve been paid a visit by some Obama goons.—
That is along the lines of what I was thinking when I read this.
This is amazing.
Yeah, He must have woke up to find his horses head in his bed.
Bribes make people do strange thins.
How many pieces of silver Joe? Or are they holding one of your kids hostage?
Deflecting a potential media attack line talking point is COMMON SENSE, folks.
The accepted media meme now is that anyone who dares to question Obama’s Christianity is a “Fringe Nutcase”.
He is running against one of the most RADICAL and corrupt Socialists in Congress. Keep it focused on the ISSUES, and don’t play in to Democrat/MediaMatters/MSNBC talking points.
SMART MOVE, IMHO.
Is Joe suggesting that Obama got where he is by "clinging" to his "Bible?"
Absolutely. I’m not buying this Christianity line one bit.
If he’s a Christian, he’s one of the worst ones of all time.
If he’s a Muslim, he’s right on target.
End of discussion...
This could be a subtle way of Joe’s to expose 0’s commie and atheist background and baggage. If it gets MSM coverage, though, and I assume it will, the subtleties will go down the memory hole and the headline will be that Joe embraces 0’s (alleged) Christianity. Joe will be co- opted.
If I’m wrong, then Joe must have fallen off a ladder.
That guy needs to get his head out of his ass, what a retarded thing to say. Any Christian who listens to a word this punk says should turn in their faith.
CINO = Obama, Christian in name only
CINO = Pelosi, Catholic in name only
