Help me out here...did Obama REALLY chant "in the name of Allah..." from the podium?

Seriously? FB person posted this nonsense. I don't want to call bullshit until I can confirm this. It sounds like total nonsense, but just in case, does anyone know the real story here?

by following their traditions and replying in their language in their conversations.

The r/wers of the blogosphere have taken events out of context, twisted them, assembled them in a Byzantine knot and presented them as truth with the usual toxic dose of paranoia and outrage.

NYTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/world/asia/obama-malaysia.html

LATimes: http://www.latimes.com/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-obama-malaysia-20140426-story.html

NY Daily News changed the focus: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/president-obama-visits-malaysia-article-1.1770452

The r/w gets wind of it: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/imam-obama-end-oppression-muslims-obama-imam-pray-me

The rabid r/w takes it from there to your facebook.

Dad did, in a weird mix of a statement where he said he needed to speak in Pashto because his son had forgotten English. But then he only said that, then moved back to English. Why recite the first line of most book of the Koran in Pashto, then say "I am your father" in English if you are trying to communicate with your son who hasn't heard you in 5 years?

I am kind of perplexed about his dad and his behavior.

I am even more perplexed that the crew at the White House didn't do a better job of handling the parents and getting a grasp on what they were going to say. They really should have had some idea that a guy in a scraggly beard reciting a line from the Koran in Pashto wasn't going to help sway public opinion toward this recovery being a good thing, especially knowing all the questions surrounding his sons disappearance in the first place. They should have advised him that it would probably makes things easier on his son coming back if he didn't do anything to stir up more controversy, even if contrived and fake.

So if you call everything they say BS you will practically never be wrong. But the easy way to go is simply to ask them for proof. Note: proof is not because Limbaugh said it! Or it was on FUX.
