In a presidential race in which unwanted, damaging endorsements seem far more plentiful than endorsements that actually could help, Barack Obama has had the unfortunate distinction of being a magnet for such well-wishers.
The latest unsought praise for the Democratic front-runner came from Fidel Castro, who wrote in a column for Cuba’s Granma newspaper Monday that Obama is “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency.”
Never mind that the column was used to criticize Obama for wanting to uphold the U.S. trade embargo. The Florida GOP seized on it, posting an article about it on their Web site and blasting out an e-mail titled, “Fidel Castro Endorses Obama.”
The reaction underscored the problems Obama continues to face as he talks up his desire to hold high-levels discussions with leaders of diplomatically black-listed countries, without preconditions.
His critics argue that the friendlier foreign policies he’s proposing toward countries like Iran and Cuba are in turn inviting kudos from those countries’ leaders or allies.
“That’s really the question we’re posing to the voters: In an era where we’re actively engaged in fighting the global war on terror, why is he receiving these compliments from groups who are against everything we stand for?” said Florida GOP spokeswoman Katie Gordon.
“He’s agreed to meet with Ahmadinejad with no preconditions. He’s also agreed to meet with Castro. … It hits home for a lot of people here.”

I have no doubt that Fidel and his brother, Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, Hamas and most of the other enemies of America would rejoice if Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama (PBUH) were elected president in November! WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!
Not to mention Jimmy Carter.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

It wasn't so "pretty" to those people Mohammad slaughtered after he attacked them in their sleep. He used to chant his "prayer of fear" as it is called [allah akbar] before every raid.
That Obama knows his muslim prayers so well is just more evidence that his ties to Islam and the support he gives his murderous Muslim cousin in Kenya is in keeping with his true beliefs
If the shoe fits.....
What else do we need to know about Obama???
Hate America?
You’ll LOVE Obama!
Does anyone know of an Obama graphic listing all of our enemies who have endorsed his?
Here’s an idea for you - maybe have a subset of your “Supporters” page listing endorsements from unsavory foreign leaders.
RWA - You should check out Beckwith’s The Obama File.
Can you say: "stench in the ear"?
Oh well. I guess everybody has their own tastes.
If they (the super delegates) go for him, they lose the Presidency in a landslide, unless McCain has a stroke in front of the TV cameras. If McCain hadn't pissed off and alienated his base, he'd win in a literally historic landslide and the Pubs would pick up 10 in the Senate and 50 in the House (which tells you he's not that smart as a politician, BTW).
What a bizarre year.
Pretty like the koran and hadith. The ‘Religion of Pieces’. The only time they’re happy is when they’re killing, maiming, or destroying.
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Is this Bob Beckwith, the FOX guy?
I ‘love’ it when they call a candidate Progressive. It means socialist/communist/whimp.
I don’t know, I’m not familiar with the Fox guy.
