(POLITICO) Tea Party favorite and congressional candidate “Joe the Plumber” said his Christian “brother” Barack Obama was “blessed by God” and that, to this day, America remains a Judeo-Christian country.
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher blasted those who question the president’s faith, saying that Obama’s conversion to Christianity — his father was raised Muslim, and his mother was an atheist — “came against all odds” and allowed him to “throw off his past.”
