Worst Obama Folly of the Week
Hot Air ^ | 06/28/2009 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 06/28/2009 3:22:20 PM PDT by fiscon1

It’s time to pick another Obamateurism of the Week, and believe me, this is no time to just disappear onto the links, even with your bestest buddy who can’t keep his governors straight. Be sure not to open your Perrier out there on the course, lest you become one of the “polluters” letting CO2 into our air where it doesn’t belong. Some of you may want to spend a nice Sunday afternoon doing some planting, but remember that questions bloom best when planted with lots of fertilizer. If you like mystery, try looking for those two million Muslim Americans that disappeared between Cairo and Islamabad from Obama’s rhetoric. They may find that the moral arc of the Obama universe is long, but it bends towards bad research.

“Obama plants a question” is winning. This is the gaff that will make the MSM turn on him, because you just don’t $&^* with the MSM.

Probe finds churches' visa program riddled with fraud

Snippets: 2006 article: Homeland Security auditors who reviewed an application for a 33-year-old Pakistani man, for example, could not locate the alleged religious group listed on the petition as his sponsor, and when investigators went to the group's address they found an apartment complex. In addition, the investigators found that an address listed on the form ``has been used by an individual suspected of membership with a terrorist organization." The report does not say whether the address was in Pakistan or the United States.

Such concerns have grown since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In September 2004, a Pakistani man living in Brooklyn was convicted of visa fraud for helping more than 200 illegal immigrants falsely obtain religious worker visas. The man had declared himself to be an imam and the basement of his store to be a mosque.

Last year, for example, the FBI arrested three Pakistani men associated with a mosque in Lodi, California. All had entered on religious-worker visas. Two were accused of ties to a terrorist training camp in Pakistan before coming to the United States, and the third, an imam, allegedly delivered sermons endorsing violence against non-Muslims before he came to America. All three were deported for having overstayed their visas, but were not accused of obtaining them fraudulently.

The media hasn’t caught on or is hoping we don’t but I think Zero made one of his biggest screw ups today with his support of the Honduran president who was rightfully voted out by congress and arrested by the military.
