***”We try on Christmas gifts sometimes that we may not want to keep but we do it to be a grateful recipient,” Gration explained, “Barack Obama did what any leader would do, accept the gift, hospitality and token of friendship.”***

Interesting, not even a mention of Jesus who’s birth is the reason for the season. I knew a Muslim family that gave away and got gifts for Christmas.

There is something suspicious about the Obama response to this. They won’t let it die. And, why did Drudge post it?

Why is that a smear???

Why doesn't Hussein (and his apologists) take PRIDE in that picture? It IS a real picture, isn't it???

Are they saying that they are NOT proud of Hussein's background??? Geeeez

So I guess that Hussein is 100% correct--it should sadden Americans everywhere that the democratic party has gone so totally loony--that someone like him could even be considered!!

Yep, the obama orgasm rama is hitting everywhere. I wish someone would ask him for evidence of of his claims in the ads he is running in Texas.

There’s no way to ever prove it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Obama campaign sent the picture to Drudge. They’ve certainly gotten a lot of mileage out of something that’s supposed to be negative. Obama plays the race card more often than any politician that I can remember, which is saying something as i can remember Reverend Jesse. I don’t know how he can be a front runner. I would literally eat shards of glass before I would vote for that.

Everytime I see that photo, I want to get my order in for lamb with couscous.

Rice...says it promotes the idea that that the culture of other parties of the world are worthy of ridicule.

The history book my dad used in high school specifically detailed the ways in which "Western Cuilture" is superior to all other "cultures" in the world, especially the backwater ones where you don't know who's going to be in charge tomorrow, they have 10,000% inflation due to government incompetance and graft, and people have to eat the bark off trees to survive at least until the middle of the night where they disappear at the hands of the Secret Police. We used to know that we were charged by God to be a shining light to the world. I miss those days.

You know this picture of Obama in the Somalian garb has been on the web for ages. Is Obama chewing the scenery over this photo in order to distract the press? The press can feel gassily smug in condemning the release of a photo that has been out there in the public domain for ages. I swear, with few exceptions, the aggregate press IQ doesn’t reach room temperature.

In one of the Hadithas, the Prophet Mohammed says, “My community shall not fall away so long as it wears turban.” Wearing the turban is a sign of faith.

Few Muslims, except extremists and Sikhs, wear turban any longer.

So, the fact that he dons turban may indeed be proof that he is a Muslim.

IMHO yes. That’s exactly what Obama is doing. As soon as Hillary has been defeated, Obama doesn’t have anybody to fight against that won’t fight back. JMHO again, but I think Hillary screwed this up by trying to be nice and not attack to hard, then when she had to attack because she was falling behind Obama Nation screamed racism every time Hillary showed up at a campaign event. McCain doesn’t have to worry about splitting the GOP in half, hell he already did that. Now he has to try to peel off enough Indies and conservative Dems to swing the election. I think he has a good chance to pull it off. The arrogance of Obama Nation is already putting off voters and the nasty primary fight between Obama and Hillary is ripping the Dems in half. MY parents both early voted in the Texas primary for Obama. They would both eat hot coals before they vote for him in November. Obama thinks he’s doing well with crossover GOP voters but I think he’s deluded. I also believe that as soon he wins the nomination and has to run to the middle for the general election, his young idealists, you know the ones who faint when he speaks, will see that he’s just another slimy politician and wind up voting for Nader, or not voting at all.
