In Ramadan message, Obama takes swipe at Trump

President Barack Obama had a message for Muslim Americans preparing to observe the beginning of Ramadan on Sunday: He'll protect them from people like Donald Trump who threaten their religious liberties.

In an official statement, Obama said America would continue to welcome immigrants and refugees, despite “the voices that seek to divide us.”

Obama’s official statement on the start of Ramadan, a monthlong holiday observed by Muslims through fasting during daylight hours, did not mention Trump by name, but the president's remarks clearly seemed to be a swipe at the presumptive GOP nominee.

Hopefully, this will be the last time this will be observed at the White House like this. A President Trump won’t bend over backwards to accommodate the muzzles.

“Hopefully, this will be the last time this will be observed at the White House “

I sure hope so. Religion of Peace© Bush started the practice.

The bloviating elected are afraid of Donald Trump. They’ve been hearing and speaking lies for so long, the truth from the Donald scares them.

I didn’t know Ramalamadingdong had started again ... I think I’ll eat ham, spare-ribs, bacon, and pork chops for the duration.

“”the voices that seek to divide us.””

Their lines are so old and pathetic...Same words as Michelle used in her speech about “slaves building the White House.” And don’t forget - “It’s not who we are.” My favorite!

As well as “this is unacceptable” and “make sure it never happens again.”

Why don’t we all write a bunch of speeches and send them to the WH for his use between now and January 2017? He can fire his speech writers and cut down on the WH payroll. He can’t even tell that they just recycle his speeches anyway.
