"In one editorial, Lebanese political analyst Chibli Mallat pointed out that the name Barack is short for "Mubarak," an Arabic word, meaning "the blessed one." In a point of unsolicited advice, Mallat suggested Obama should highlight, not bury, that heritage.

"You should be proud of your Muslim legacy," wrote Mallat. 'Make it a central plank of your campaign to become world leader. There is no contradiction between this and the Christian convictions you have. ... Become a uniquely ecumenical president, in a world increasingly in the throes of religious strife.'"

Would it be too much to call him by his full name: Barak Hussain Obama here on the site. Not many people know this.

guilt by association.

Sort of like a candidate saying I made up this creepy add on my opponent but decided not to show it.

But since all the news organizations are here I will show it to prove I could have been an anal hole.

Hussein always flaunts his BLACKNESS but not all people know he’s HALF WHITE.

Obama is a stone cold Islamofascist in thought , word and deed. He hides it well. Ever ask yourself why Black America is ambivalent about Obama? They know the kind of creature he truly is. Whitey is catching up.

You can too. Spend some time:

That’s it. Obama over my dead body.

If muzzies are for him, that alone is more than enough reason to be against him, no matter what I think of his position on ANY issue.

Betcha he’s a sleeper muzzie and they know it.

Gee, let’s just put the enemy in the WH.

And Hillary is no better. We might as well put Hitler in the WH with her.

To all:
Any truth to the allegation that Obama used the Koran when sworn into the Senate?

If this country is stupid enough to vote a Muslim into office while we are at war with millions of them...then we deserve to go down.

We are asking for it.

Sooner or later people are going to have to come to grips with the fact that Obama IS a Muslim in the eyes of much of the Muslim world.

He was born to a Muslim father. He went to an Islamic religious school. Of course he is Muslim — in their eyes.

Muslims do not recognize conversions. You are an Infidel, a Muslim or an apostate. There are no other choices.

I am not saying that he should be disqualified from the presidency because of that, but we can’t ignore that factor either.

This has been hinted at here, but I bet Hillary knows one of Barack's secrets (and wouldn't be surprised if she put it to the test).

As a child Barack recited the Koran in Arabic--so there is a good chance that he can speak and understand Arabic. If he included that accomplishment in his resume it probably would be a plus. Since he appears to be hiding it this could prove embarassing for him down the road.

They may like Obama best now, but if Hillary gets the nomination, they’ll like her best. Anyone but a Republican (with the exception of Ronnie Paul, of course).
