Two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.
The campaign has apologized to the women, all Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.
"This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton, who added that the volunteers were acting contrary to the campaign's policy. "We sincerely apologize for this behavior."

Did you hear? On the “View” this morning, Michelle broke the news that the Obama family eats bacon for breakfast.
Do you believe it?

He isn’t throwing them under the bus, he’s hoping to keep them out of the forefront until he’s elected. To tamp down any association he has with them. It’s a shell game.

Yup,I believe that she said that.I also believe that,if she were to ever visit a Hassidic Jewish area (like the Clintons in NYC in '92) she'd tell those folks that if Osama's elected they'll keep a kosher kitchen in the White House.

Which in of itself is a lie since he was a muslim up to age 31, and that it was his wife who forced him to “convert” so he can get elected.

The devout brothers who slammed the jets into the towers drank straight whiskey and paid for lap dances. Whatever it takes. That’s their motto. Or perhaps they get their inspiration from Outback Steakhouse.
No rules. Just right.
They will anything ANYTHING to win. Obama’s the son of a man who listed his race as Arab on his birth certificate. Take a look at indigenous Kenyans, the ones who haven’t been interbred with Arabs. They aren’t all cute and cuddly like Obama. Obama stands to become the first Arab American President. And the man who brings it all down.
In the famous words of Charlton Heston. We did it. We finally did it.

Right...and why even bother announcing it if it’s not true.
