Good on you for fighting ignorance.
Ahh, I get it now! The Christian Church is just a cover, Obama is his own “ever-patient” sleeper cell, and as soon as he’s elected he’s going to heed the beck and call of his Al-Quadea handlers, intiating Sharia Law in the US, rounding up Christians for conversions, etc.
It’s all so clear now, I can’t believe I didn’t see it before…
Careful there! Search engines and message boards are available to people without sarcasm meters too! 
ETA: Nevermind you were beaten to it anyway…
There is a video where he doesn’t have his hand over his heart like Hillary and Bill Richardson. Though he is actually singing it and getting into it unlike they are.
The sad thing is, I’ve seen some arguments from some fundies that it’s all about getting the Temple rebuilt or something, to get the Rapture to happen faster.
Maybe some are pining for the rapture, but for most it’s more straightforward. They believe they are enjoined to support God’s chosen people. They cite God’s words to Abraham found in Genesis 12:2-3:
The ladies in the OP’s video alluded to this.
Nah. Only the sweeping ones.
Some arguments from some fundies all about something fuzzy? What are you doing here — you should be writing your book.
For example, some fundamentalist Christian ranchers from Texas are teaming up with some right-wing Israelis in an attempt to breed a perfect red heifer, whose sacrifice is necessary before the third temple can be built. Yee-haw!
Actually, I hope they stay as stupid as their Obama is a Muslim emails indicate. I’m far more worried about attacks on Obama because of some of the positions of the United Church of Christ that Obama is part of.
Someone hide Wynonna Judd!
Now, that’s just mean!
Doesn’t mean I didn’t laugh, tho!
It’s not as weak as you think. Otherwise normal people actually DO believe this stuff, every bit as strongly as they believed that Kerry “got a couple of paper cuts, so they gave him purple hearts and sent him home.” These are real things that real people are saying, and at least one of them is an engineer with a university degree, and at least one other is a college educated grade-school librarian. Their church told them who (not) to vote for, and they live about as far away from Tenessee as it’s possible to get and still be in the lower 48.
You have met a lot of these people. It just doesn’t usually come up in casual conversation. I’d be surprised if one person in twenty that I’ve met has any idea what my religious beliefs are.
In an expression of breathtaking prejudice, Frylock says: I find that hard to believe.
But not impossible.
It would help me if you maybe had something online you could point to–a fundamentalist or even better a fundamentalist group which has an online presence wherein pro-Obama sentiments are expressed or something.

I know several, too. Their concerns are primarily economic. That, and they’re tired of the war.
Well, speaking as someone who was raised in an east Tennessee fundamentalist family and attended an east Tennessee fundamentalist church for 18 years, they’re not going to vote for Obama no matter what because he’s black. It’s as simple as that.
All this misinformation is part of a Republican whisper campaign that’s going out through the churches. All of my family has heard it. Some of them believe it.
My mother voted for Obama in the primary, though. Hopefully I’m having a positive influence on her.
And yes, Liberal, there are fundamentalists who believe they have a responsibility to rebuild the temple in order to make the rapture happen. I believe you know this. I don’t know why you had to be so snarky toward Guinistasia.
There are quite a few Blacks, especially in the South, who would easily qualify as “fundamentalists” under commonly used definitions of that term on this MB.
Fundies are a mixed bag. My wife’s cousins (Southern Baptist hard-core fundies) have adopted several developmentally-challenged black kids, because they feel it is their Christian obligation to do so. They won’t vote for Obama, but not because he’s black.
The grandmother, also a hard-core Southern Baptist fundie, won’t have anything to do with the black adopted kids, and just regards them as a bunch of niggers.
So, like I said, a mixed bag.
ETA: And, of course, some of the above difference is no doubt generational.
