They do believe in having more than one wife in heaven I think though? Hmm not sure about that.

Is Obama really a Muslim? I hate stupid, bigoted crap. cali Aug 2012 #11

I find this and speculation about his having Alzheimer's or some other psychiatric disorder cbayer Aug 2012 #12

I also find the FACT that he believes he will be a god to be pertinent. You see Obama was NEVER a LaydeeBug Aug 2012 #19
