Hahha chickens comin’ home to ROOOOOST!
When the first terrorist attack hits America during his Marxist regime, I'm sure 0bama will blame the Elbonians.
Hum, Reverend Wright said the “Chickens have come home to roost”, and we know what he meant now.
Nothing to see here, move along. This is commonplace. As a matter of fact, I am sure you could dig through the web archives and find the one they sent Bush.
They hate apostates with a vengeance. Barry better be careful. And as far as their “nice” congratulatory note is concerned, he should look up the word “Taqqia”. That means that if it’s meritorious for Islam, they can lie through their teeth.
Can we please not use President or President-elect in the same sentence as 0bomaination?
Might even see the same from Iran, North Korea and Cuba.
Putin may even chime in.
Obama was a Muslim in Indonesia and now he is a Christian....doesn’t that put him on the Islamic hit list? I think they call it a fatwah or something like that.
Not surprising!
Muslims are so amusing.
Normally, yes...
However, no matter HOW the Marxist-in-Chief buys the farm, the "authorities" will pin the deed on a "white-Supremacist Evangelical" who was "driving a white van" (HELLO, CHIEF MOOSE!)
Ummm, I do believe it’s in the Quran that it is expressly forbiden for a Muslim to convert to Christianity like he confesses he has done, punishable by death.

Oh crap. I just got a freakin hernia from laugh so hard and falling to the floor.......
Just wait and see who and how many people from Blagojecich, Sami al Arian, etc are going to get pardons.
“Can we please not use President or President-elect in the same sentence as 0bomaination?”
I agree! I move that from this point on Odumbo will now be referred to simply as “Zero”.
Do we have a second on that in the house?
