'If That's A Clock, I'm The Queen of England': Sarah Palin Attacks Muslim Schoolboy Ahmed Mohamed And Says He Was Asking To Be Arrested By ALEXANDRA KLAUSNER and MIA DE GRAAF 19 September 2015 |

Sarah Palin on Friday criticized Obama for inviting a 14-year-old Muslim teenager to the White House after his teachers accused him of building a bomb that was merely a homemade clock and who had him wrongly arrested.

Sarah Palin posted her controversial opinion on her Facebook page and slammed Obama and the 'reactionary-slash-biased media' for defending Ahmed Mohamed's 'dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption.'

'Yep, believing that's a clock in a school pencil box is like believing Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history,' Palin wrote in the Facebook post in which she shared pictures of her kids' pencil boxes. 'Right. That's a clock, and I'm the Queen of England.'

Why would an electrical engineer make such a mistake?

Because he's lying?

Yeah, definitely a clock (as others have pointed out, if the school really thought it was a bomb, they would have evacuated/called the bomb squad/etc.). This is a case where this kid and his family are right, but for 100% the wrong reason. The school absolutely overreacted here, but they didn’t overreact because the kid is a muslim. They overreacted because they are public school officials, and overreacting is what they do best.

Further investigation on my part suggests that other engineer (I don't know either man personally, so I am taking both pretty much at their word) is correct. It appears to be a radio shack 1970s style alarm digital clock. For more information, see the middle of this article.

Kid makes a clock look like a bomb, he gets to personally visit with Obama.

A kid turns a pop tart into a gun and he is suspended for a week.

yet all those engineering schools have offered him a spot. Let him go so he can show them how brilliant he is
 
Yeah, major FAIL coming right up. I knew kids younger than him who were printing their own circuit boards, soldering on components and subsequently programming them for all sorts of gizmos that handled advanced tasks. Gutting a garage sale special 1986-model digital clock and sticking the innards inside another container isn't "building" squat. That family came up with a scheme to con & defraud people and institutions. The faster they are exposed for the frauds they are, the better.

Radical Muslim Cleric Lied to Qualify for U.S.-Funded College Scholarship
Fox news ^ | April 12, 2010 | Catherine Herridge / FRPosted by opentalk

Anwar Awlaki, now believed to be an Al Qaeda recruiter hiding in Yemen, is connected to at least two recent suspected terrorism cases – the Fort Hood attack and the attempted Christmas Day jet bombing.

The American Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, considered by some to be one of the most wanted terrorists behind Usama bin Laden, was educated in the United States with taxpayers money, an ongoing Fox News investigation has found.

Awlaki, now believed to be recruiting for Al Qaeda from hiding in Yemen, is connected to at least two recent suspected terrorism cases – the Fort Hood attack and the attempted Christmas Day jet bombing.

A former diplomatic security agent who was tasked with investigating Awlaki immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks told Fox News that the Yemeni-American national lied on his visa application to attend Colorado State University, where he studied engineering. Rather than tell U.S. immigration officials that he was born in Las Cruces, N.M., in 1971, Awlaki stated that the was foreign born, the security agent, Ray Fournier, said.

Awlaki received $20,000 in scholarship money from a U.S. government program for his schooling in Fort Collins, Colo. When asked if Awlaki was eligible, Fournier said, “No, he is absolutely forbidden to have it.” "That's the taxpayers' money," Fournier added, saying Awlaki knew that lying about his birthplace would help him get the scholarship money.

A spokesperson at Colorado State University confirmed that Awlaki listed himself as an international student during his years there. The school would not comment on his financial records citing privacy issues. (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...

Depends upon the definition of the word "true."

I have a $4 plastic watch sitting on my bathroom counter. Its the size of a wristwatch and it tells time and functions as an alarm.

That was intended to bait the authorities. He and his family can say otherwise, but I'm not compelled to honor foolish notions...whether offered by him, or you.

Again...if that's an watch, then a steam roller is used to iron hankies.

My further investigation suggests that at the least Mr. Davis made a mistake (see my hyperlink in my previous post). I try to correct my misteaks.

There are 0 posts on this at Daily Mail. I submitted a post, then refreshed the page. While the page was reloading, it showed there are 84 posts. Then suddenly it switched back to 0.

I think public opinion doesn’t agree with DM, so they scrubbed the posts.

Or what the definition of "is" is.

I believe this to be a form of ‘false flag’ operation where you spoof the authorities with a ‘look alike’ device that is innocent AFTER EXAMINATION! So the next time something similar is seen, the observer remembers the flap and passes over the device. Do it several times and maybe BOOM?

Remember the Dept. of Homeland Security has pushed the meme of “See Something, Say Something” and this is EXACTLY what the school did! So now the kid is lionized by those who want to curry favor with the ‘oppressed’ immigrant minority.

I’m waiting for Obama to once again state that the police were behaving foolishly. I know that is what he is thinking!
