President Obama’s take on a new approach to the Muslim world is most interesting. Having a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world and treating Muslims with respect are nice thoughts.

Now, how could we carry out such a policy? Hmmmm….maybe we could send our troops into a Muslim country where the people are under the jackboot of an extremely bloody and merciless dictator with a penchant for making war against his neighbors and some of his own people. Nasty fellow who doesn’t hesitate to use chemical weapons against military and civilians. We could throw that bastard out and then help the people to hold free elections for the first time in their long history.

Interesting theory and a tough assignment We could serve our own national interests and the interests of those enslaved people at the same time…… Nah, won’t work. We already tried that and just got a big ration of political crap out of it.

Looks like the only option is to go back to kissing behinds and begging to be loved so no one will decide to come here to take flying lessons. We can also throw the Israelis under the proverbial bus while we are at it. Sharia lessons anyone? I’m sure the dearly beloved Archbishop of Canterbury would be delighted to come over and start up classes…sort of show us how to bend over and grab our knees, so to speak.

What makes anyone think that BHO has Muslim connections?

Obama’s English professor at Columbia is Edward Said, a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activist.

Both at Occidental College in California and at Columbia College in New York, Obama’s roommates are foreign Muslims

Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative and backer who justified Palestinian terrorism as contributing to “political enlightenment,” hosts a fund raiser for Obama.

While Obama serves on the board of the Woods Fund, it approves (in 2001) a $40,000 grant to the “Arab American Action Network” (AAAN); a second grant, for $35,000, is approved in 2002. President of the AAAN is Mona Khalidi, wife of Rashid Khalidi, a professor Obama met while at Columbia University. Khalidi, a former spokesman for Yassir Arafat, anti-Semite, strong critic of Israel, and supporter of Palestinian terrorism and the PLO, later holds fundraisers for candidate Obama. AAAN calls the founding of Israel a “catastrophe,” supports liberal immigration reform in the United States, and encourages giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens.

Serving on the board of the AAAN is Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian-American, anti-Semite, co-founder of “Electronic Intifada,” and long-time friend of Obama. Abunimah refers to Jews as malicious liars, and even suggests they lied about the Holocaust, writing, “if Zionists could lie about their present and ongoing torment of my (Palestinian) people, usurpation of my homeland and arrogation of my rights, and they do it rather obscenely, couldn’t they likewise lie, equally obscenely, about the holocaust, an event that took place over half a century ago?”

In 2003, Obama attends a dinner held in honor of Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights. Obama, who has consistently denied a close relationship with Khalidi (the Obamas have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and used them as occasional baby-sitters), praises Khalidi during the decidedly anti-Semitic event. William Ayers attends the party, and both Ayers and Obama sign Khalidi’s “guest book.” The event is a going away party for Khalidi, who is leaving Chicago and moving to New York. The Los Angeles Time has a videotape of the event, but refuses to release it.” The dinner is sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama had funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund. One speaker remarks that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel “will never see a day of peace.”

It has also been alleged that, in his speech at the Khalidi dinner, Obama states that “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine,” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis.”

In 2004, Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi (who lives in London) flies to Chicago in a private jet and meets at the Four Seasons Hotel with Tony Rezko, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, and Obama. At this point, both Blagojevich and Obama are aware that Rezko is already under investigation for illegal activities involving kickbacks for political favors.

Obama visits Kenya in 2006, and gives support to Raila Odinga, a Muslim socialist candidate for President who has ties to both al Qaeda and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi and was educated in communist East Germany, and who hopes to get Sharia Muslim law established. Odinga is a cousin of Obama; Odinga’s mother is the sister of Obama’s father.

In support of Odinga, Obama raises approximately $950,000. The cash for Odinga comes from private meetings in 2006 arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy advisor on Obama’s staff. Odinga visits Obama during three separate trips to Washington in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Odinga promises his supporters in Kenya that he will “rewrite the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared religion.”

In 2007, Obama tells the Des Moines Register that “…nobody’s suffering more than the Palestinian people.”

On April 30, 2007, in an interview with the New York Times, Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, says, “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”

Obama tells friend Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago, that he was sorry he wasn’t talking more about the Palestinian cause, but his primary campaign had “constrained” what he could say. Abunimah tells radio talk show “Democracy Now!” he knew Obama for many years and “when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community in Chicago all the time.” Abunimah responds to Obama’s sudden about-face and soft support of Israel during the campaign by remarking, “He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power.”

Obama ousts his campaign’s Muslim outreach director, Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, when questions about his ties to a radical Muslim imam and the Muslim Brotherhood surface, along with links to the Islamic Society of North America (an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas-terrorist-funding case). Asbahi was a board member of the Allied Asset Advisor Fund (associated with the North American Islamic Trust), with Jamal Said (imam of a radical Chicago area mosque who raised money for Hamas and families of its suicide bombers). Despite losing his official position with the campaign, Asbahi continues to work for Obama, participating in conference calls.

In October of 2008, Obama’s newly appointed “Muslim Outreach Advisor,” Minha Husaini, is criticized for having met with extremist Islamic groups on September 15; Husaini’s predecessor had resigned because of connections to a radical Muslim cleric. Among those meeting with Husaini was Mazen Asbahi (who Husaini had just replaced as outreach director) and Mahdi Bray, who has publicly supported Hamas and Hezbollah, and Johari Abdul Malik, a Falls Church, Virginia cleric, who told followers in November of 2004, “You will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America – to being the first religion in America.”

There is more, but I don’t want to tire you.

HE at 10:49 pm

So what are you going to do about it?

Impeachment might bring on Biden or Pelosi.

Ahhh, Lovisa finally acknowledged there’s a problem (President Obama’s associations and friendships) and there’s a problem (Biden & Pelosi). Had Enough, I think you’ve finally worn her down.

Lovisa,

You impeach presidents, on this case we presently do not have a president, but a usurper posing as the president.

There are several options, I believe it was Dr.Viera that outlined them, I don’t have it handy tonight.

Dozens of lawsuits have been or are being filed to present evidence that BHO should not have been allowed on the ballot to begin with along with McCain and Calero (a Nicaraguan National) who were also not eligible to be on the ballots.

This is not new, Lawyers, groups and others have requested documents from him for over a year with no results. BHO has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight these lawsuits, they claim that no one has standing to pursue the issues.

The most likely scenario is that he will be arrested and removed from the white house, someone will be appointed to temporarily sit in the oval office until a new election is held.

Because he was not eligible to run, the ticket would be void and Biden would no longer be vice president and he would be ineligible to take BHO’s place.

If Oprah had been up on her constitution, she would have known that he was ineligible when she talked of BHO’s father from Kenya.

There are two other reasons to question his credibility in addition to that, he may have been born in Kenya as his family stated and he was adopted by an Indonesian where dual citizenship is not allowed which is the reason his name was changed to Barry Soretoro.

Lovisa,

No defense for Obama from you. Why not?

Had Enoug at 3:49 am

Sleep deprivation does strange things to one’s brain.

Another Executive Order, Obama signed legislation that discriminates against 84 percent of U.S. construction workers who choose not to join a labor union. The companies they work for will not be allowed to bid on government jobs.

Michael Steel said, “President Obama’s executive order will drive up the cost of government at a time when we should be doing everything possible to save taxpayer dollars. Federal contracts should go to the businesses that can offer taxpayers the best value – not just the unions who supported the Democrats’ campaigns last year. Quietly signing executive orders to payback campaign backers undermines Obama promise to change Washington. It is a disappointment for Americans hoping for more transparency and less politics as usual in Washington.”

Of course, we have the right and responsibility to voice our concerns, but when those concerns drag the office of the President down into the mud, I don’t feel that that does any good in any way.

Could you possibly come up with some constructive criticism? In other words:

What would YOU suggest be done to improve the situation? Do you sincerely believe that impeaching President Obama would be good for the country? Would you folks feel great if that happened?

Again – my favorite expression – the domino effect. If we do this, then someting, maybe unexpected, happens, and after that, something else happens and on and on.

GET REAL!

Lovisa,

GET REAL YOU SAY< well have at it. To improve the sitution we need Obama out of offic and all the corrupt individuals he appointed, this includes others that are already in office, Pelosi, Reid,and Franks and others.

The nation needs someone like Sarah Palin who puts americans first, That is just for starters.

Got another Question Lovisa, Do You feel Obama has stood by his word to protect and defend America or has he shown favortism to the Muslims and Islamic Radicals by intention of closing gitmo an

Cool it, Marjorie!

How do you get Obama out of office?

If that should happen, who would take his place?

Has Obama in his 2-3 weeks in office NOT protected and defended America? As far as I know he has not pulled out our troops in Iraq and he’s planning to increase US military force in Afghanistan, which has turned into the REAL battleground.

Maybe you remember old W saying that he was going into every cave and hollow and smoke out that evil guy who was behind the 9-11 attack.

Diplomacy, sorely missing in the former administration, is a way, civilized way, to deal with other nations. That’s what got the hostages in Iran released an hour before or after, I don’t remember, after Reagan was inaugurated.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Lovisa, as I said, you’re being intellectually dishonest. If a concern is valid, it’s not dragging the office of the President down to discuss it.

I won’t address the “impeachment” issue, since I stated clearly I did not want him impeached.

Here’s what I would do:

1. Force Geithner to step down
2. Drop the fake “Stimulus Plan” and work with the House and the Senate to develop a real stimulus plan
3. Fire all of the lobbyists he claimed he wouldn’t hire that he has hired
4. Rescind the plan to close Gitmo until he determines where the prisoners will be sent, then come up with a new plan based on facts, not rhetoric
5. Call for Frank, Dodd, and Rangel to step down
6. Scrap the plan to nationalize health care
7. Insist that the 12 million+ illegal immigrants in this country will not be allowed to jump to the front of the line
8. Stop talking down about this economy, state clearly that the “taxes are patriotic” position he and Biden took during the campaign was just plane wrong, and let the American people (and businesses) know that taxes will not be raised to “redistribute the wealth”
9. Stop talking down about the U.S. to the rest of the world to try to make other nations “like” us
10. Embrace true energy independence, and insist that we take advantage of the oil reserves we have here in this country while we work diligently to find alternative sources of energy
11. Rescind the 10% budget cut he just asked the military to take, since at the same time he apparently wants us to surge in Afghanistan and we’re not done in Iraq
12. Stop supporting the efforts of Limousine Liberals in this country who continue to take advantage of the desires, hopelessness, pent up expectations, and (sadly) greed (for some) of the masses
13. Step down from the decision to move the Census Bureau under the control of the White House and insist that by the next election cycle illegal immigrants and foreigners have no ability to vote in our elections or to donate money to our campaigns
14. Speak out against “card check” and “fairness doctrine” legislation, since they are inherently un-American
15. Put away childish things and ask his aunt to leave the country and apply to legally enter the country, since it’s an utter embarrassment to have a President of the United States with an illegal resident aunt

That’s just what I’d do in the first two weeks if I were President Obama (in and around actually trying to keep this country safe by eavesdropping on terrorists and backing our intelligence and military leaders). Instead, he’s played politics with the Inauguration (the veiled insults against President Bush), ignored the stench of hypocrisy associated with his cabinet picks, and given long eloquent speeches (jeramaids?) describing the woeful results on this country’s economy if his “Stimulus” plan is not passed.

Each of these items have been stated clearly by many people in this forum before. These aren’t unfounded attacks, or “talking down” the office of the President. These are legitimate concerns that deserve legitimate acknowledgment, not dismissal as “squawking”, although I totally understand why that’s the position you’ve taken.

Oops. I just “butted” out.

Lovisa,

You are not defending Obama? Why is that?

Just Answer the question and stop being evasive.

diplomacy is not kissing butt to those who hate america

Uhh..that’s “butt” out. Maybe I should go get some sleep.
