What would change? I think it would actually strengthen his insane left base who, for whatever reason, seem to support Islam and atheism more than other religions. Conservatives would score an "I told you so" point. But what would really change? Low information voters wouldn't care and if conservatives pointed it out too much, the left would spin it to make it sound bigoted and hateful.

Islam *IS* bigoted and hateful. How many beheadings or mass executions of their own religion are necessary, to finally drive that home to an ignorant public refusing to believe the wolf will eat them last?

You're right, he'd spin it something like this.
"I was raised a Muscum, and later attended a Christian church, so I  have a better grasp which allows me to  be more open to both sides in having a better understanding of the issues of the people of this wonderful country"

The libs would cheer, while completely discarding the fact he went to a racist church, or studied under a radical form of Islum, Wahhabism.

Well said.

No serious student of history can ignore the fact that every successful society in the existence of the planet has been founded on principles that today we describe as 'Judeo-Christian.' ISIS is OK with Judeo-Christian principles as long as the Judeo part and the Christian part are removed.

Satan, yes, the Big Guy himself, would (maybe did) form a religion that would support ISIS.

It is part of my upbringing and my American heritage to want to allow other religions to exist in peace among us, including Islam. But it's getting pretty hard to ignore the fact that every goddamn terrorist that comes down the pike has a Qur'an in his pocket.

Religious tolerance is out the window when it comes to Islamist thugs. Their purpose is not religious, it is political - just hiding behind a religion. For quite awhile I wondered why the so called moderates did not call out these heathens. Having observed how they treat their own I have to come understand the terror these thugs instill into other Muslims. The only thing these thugs understand is getting their asses killed. Listening to some military pundits it seems they could be dealt with quite effectively with a dedicated effort. Also, we have been hearing about how well they are financed. That also could be dealt with quite easily. The problem is we have a president who apparently does not want to defeat them.

If he admitted he was a Muslim, than actions of his, that were assumed to be incompetence; all of a sudden take on a more sinister connotation.

He's not about to admit his muslim roots.  His whole attitude towards Islam makes him appear suspect. 

He won't admit it.  Too much future power and money out there to constrain himself.  He may be uncovered though.

And as was said, the people that already slavishly support him will just think it's great that he "fooled the man" and "stuck it to evil America".

The trash that loves him.....will love him even more as a criminal hero.

At what point does Obama have to do something? I am personally outraged that our fellow citizens are being executed by these sub humans. I am with Ted Cruz, help them get back the stone age with our military. That is all they understand.

They don't "love" him, they just hate us.

I don't think the Kenyan is a Muslim... unless Muslim is a synonym for asshole.

That to! 

Half the people int he country wouldn't care and the other half wouldn't be able to do a blessed thing about it. The media would fawn all over him and a few would convert just to show how cool they are.....

He doesn't have to admit it, his actions have more than said it for him.
