I couldn’t believe it because it really hasn’t been used but according wikianswers:


Yes and no. This is what he actually said:

“. . .

“Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: “I am your friend,” “[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization,” and “You embody the American dream.” They’re right, my message is simple, for what I’ve come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect.

“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” [Page 260-261] . . . “

I for one have no problem with the internments. When you are attacked by a country or a hate cult it is prudent to secure the country by restricting the movements of those aligned with your enemy.

Fortunately for lie-berals, we will never know how many lives were spared by the internment of the Japanese but I can guarantee, lives were saved.

Lives would be saved if we removed all Mudslimes from our shores. They have not achieved the 2012 level of civilization and have given no indication they are progressing. The rest of the world is by no means perfect but progress is a never ending chore of which Mudslimes want no part.

As much as I dislike Obama...I can't find much fault in that statement...in it's entirety.

That said...I think he thinks he's a kindred spirit with Muslims..and I think he leans towards them.
