‘Warped Perspective’: Pat Robertson Hints Obama Educated in a ‘Muslim’ School

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is one of Right Wing Watch’s favorite right-leaning targets. Judging from the ongoing scrutiny and the consistent articles that RRW posts, it would appear as though they‘re monitoring the Christian Broadcast Network’s “700 Club” program pretty fervently.
They‘ve covered Robertson’s views on Alzheimer’s and divorce, his take on Occupy Wall Street (i.e. Christians shouldn’t get involved) and his stance on the 2012 GOP presidential candidates, among other subjects.
In the latest dust-up, RRW posted a clip from today‘s show in which Robertson discusses some controversial themes surrounding President Barack Obama’s upbringing. Here is the transcript of his words:
“The thing that somehow concerns me — they say he’s going back to the place he spent his childhood. He spent four years in Indonesia — I don’t know if he was trained in a madrassa — one of those Muslim schools.
But nevertheless — that is his inclination. His father was a Kenyan socialist and he talks about the roots of his father. So he’s got Africa and an Indonesian background. I don’t know what his mother was doing. She just sort of footed around. But nevertheless, this might give him a warped perspective of what needs to be done to make America the greatest nation on earth.”
Watch his words, below:
Robertson’s words create some angst in critics, because he seems to indicate that the president’s worldview — based primarily on his upbringing and on his father’s views — make him ill-equipped to serve as an American president. RRW writes:
On The 700 Club today, Pat Robertson floated the debunked conspiracy theory that President Obama went to a madrassa in Indonesia when he was a child and said that the president has a Muslim “inclination.”
RRW then cites the following CNN report, which debunks any questions about Obama’s schooling, while focusing on the secular nature of the institution he attended:
What do you think — were Robertson’s comments fair-minded or not?

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 11:09pmWait a minute. Pat is always gong off on things he knows nothing about. I watched him faithfully in the 80s and was fairly good to the Word but not absolute.
I watch him from time to time just to see when he is going to retire, his mind cannot cope anymore and cant even complete an answer to a question that was called in.
This is for Pat:
Report Post »Obammy was abandoned by his AFRIKAAN daddy a Marxist
He was abandibed by his WHITE mammy a Marxist
He was abandoned and left to his WHITE grandparents that were Marxist
He was then sent to a BLACK Marxist mentor by his WHITE grandparents
He spent 20 yrs in a white-American hate group by rev Wright that taught HATE and Black Reparation Theology.
He was a member of and supports homosexuals, which Islam will cut off your head for such things
He is allowing Islam to fight his battle against Christian Americans.
He is user of people and evil forces, yes Christians must get involved Pat Robertson

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 5:12amI don‘t know if Obama is actually a Muslim or not but I do know that he doesn’t share the cultural American heritage that children of American parents who were born and raised in America share. Why on earth would we want someone who has a foreign mindset,,,,,,besides, he a complete hustler so I don’t believe a word he says.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 4:35pmOwebama has demonstrated nothing but disdain for America, its heritage and its founding principles. Our country and our economy have stagnated and in serious decline. Unfortunately, we have another year of this to endure until this poser is removed from office. Even if he is re-elected, he will have control over nothing politically except that which he can institute by executive order. That will give us four years to right the ship of state. Republicans can then move the country forward and show him to be the ‘Do-nothing President’ when he uses his veto pen.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 4:21pmThe last clip on the school is kind of pointless. Obama must have been considered a Muslim while he was there because we all know that he, himself, talks about studying the Koran there. So, he was trained in the Muslim faith…makes no difference how many Christians or Buddhists were also in the school. Interesting though, it’s a “public” school but they all get to study their own religion…sounds like more religious freedom than we have here in public school.
