Ramadan is the Muslim holy month of fasting. Elul is considered a holy month in the Jewish calendar because it includes precedes Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, and Yom Kippur, or Day of Atonement. |

All President Obama is doing is to bring back the lost Glory of USA in the internatnal Arena and to have his country secured. If u an American and u ar not supportive this, it means u don't know what u ar doing.he. Has made a difference.

Obama is doing the best and honest job for our country as well as the world . For eight years our image as down around the world.. where were the tea party then ? Just look now how much Obama made the different. Use your common sense not party affiliation.
Please, do not blaim religion for it . It is the people using religion as an excuse. Stoning women In iran is NOT Islam Teaching it is the regim of Iran. majority of Islam is against that. Burning Quran and call it Islam a religion Of Devil by cheristian minister is not Christianity it is the work of one idiate in the name of christianty. And the list goes on.
" Remember Ignorant blids people Not religion"
This president will go down in history as the most short sighted of all American presidents. He is after all a security threat to his own country.
@Brett Favre's Fan
they will be invited when they become religious lol, 1 more incentive for you to come out of the "closet"
Pres. Barack Obama's Mother is a DUNHAM very old American family 1633 Boston ; Has your family longer than that ? Or did
they imigrate after 1776 When the fighting was over!!!!! I like it when new bee's like to run off at the mouth; About real
American;s Ones who where their for the real tea party ; not some one blowing hot AIR.
Well said!
And taxpayers paid for feeding the leaders of two defunct religions? Send them a bill and include the billions we are spending to keep the followers of said religions from killing each other 24/7. #1 on the Significantly Stupid List that US taxpayers continue to pay for.
Ouch! Quite the ignoramus, aren't we?
Uh oh... let's see if they start thinking he's a jew now....
When will Obama invite atheists and agnostics to the WH?
With the abundance of religious love & compassion, atheists are considered the most distrusted group!
Aren't religions one big pile of dung? 🙂

The month of Elul does NOT include Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur.
Those are both in the month of Tishrei.
Wow – someone must have thumped the copyeditor with a clue-by-four really fast, they edited 🙂
"inv0ked" makes me think of magic spells. Had the President actually used that word, I would have expected a seance to be on the menu as well, unless the word was used in a more literary fashion. I can only shrug at seeing it in the tItle.
President Obama is my favorite President out of all the ones I've seen on TV.
I see nothing wrong with him being polite at all – it is one of the reasons I voted for him. He's doing his job.
