His arrogance trumps all of that.

Yes

"Slavery has existed throughout documented history and no doubt prior to that as well. "

I'm getting tired of liberals pretending America is the only country that held slaves. I'm getting tired of the Left calling me a racist when they are the ones who hung people from trees.

Obama must have a serious self esteem issue, and why wouldn't he?

He is black, or is he white?
He is Muslim, or is he Christian?
He taught The Constitution, or has he ever read The Constitution?
He is the Leader of the World, or is he the Joke of the World?

He's also missing that other religions have left barbarianism behind them...a few centuries ago. It's all an effort to continue this false narrative that there are other dangerous extremists out there to contend with. But I say let's leave religions and religious comparisons out of it and it's time to smack evil down wherever it pops it's head up. Wack-a-Barbarian!

I am so sick of people prattling on like the US invented slavery.

Slavery has existed throughout documented history and no doubt prior to that as well.

It was ended in this country, something that cannot be said in some other countries even now, a century and a half after it was ended here.

Obama is simply trying to justify HIS religion. Obama IS a Muslim, and according to HIS OWN book, they day will come when the winds blow he will stand with his Muslim brothers. Lets just hope it is AFTER Jan, 2017.

Didn't Obama once say, "I've never met a Muslim that I didn't like" ?

Oh wait...that was Will Rogers.

Kidding aside, this man's insistence upon equating these barbarians with all the other faiths (mostly Christian) is getting annoying.

I'm so sick of the doublespeak out of this whole administration perpetuated by the liar in chief. It's all just fine to slam white men, Christians, Jews, Patriots or any other group that doesn't fit his criteria of persecution. He really is the lowest of the low. He besmirches the very real discrimination that was a reality for far too long. But using that stick to keep beating the same drum, to use the race card to silence REAL discussion, shows just how very shallow his mind truly is.
