As far as she knows, he could be a Muslim saying that he is a Christian, for political purposes. This wouldn't be the first time a politician said something like that. You're a case in point; you said you were not a Christian, but as far as I know you could be a Christian. So, it's not *exactly* that Hillary knows that Obama is a Christian. Turq says he is not a Buddhist, but in the past he said he was a Buddhist. So, Turq is not exactly a Buddhist, but he may be a Buddhist if he says he is. Obama could be a Muslim or a Christian or even a Buddhist, if I say he is. You can't prove me wrong if I say you're a Christian and you can't prove you're not a Christian. > > There are many cases of people following > > the Hillary Axiom on this forum.
