The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment

How many more 'misjudgments' does he get to make before it becomes a serious problem?!

Minha Husaini, an Muslim American in her 30s now working in the Obama campaign:

“He gives me hope,” Ms. Husaini said in an interview last month, shortly before she joined the campaign on a fellowship. But she sighed when the conversation turned to his denials of being Muslim, “as if it’s something bad,” she said.

Minha is currently an International Development Consultant with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Banda Aceh, developing strategic plans to educate women and families on health, social and nutritional issues.

Did Obama do anything that showed any GOOD judgment?

“How many times has the Obama campaign met with groups tied to or connected with terrorist organizations?” asks the RNC today.

“Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC.

“Would a campaign staffer have stayed once they were aware of the complete list of attendees? Why the hell not? Whose going to call us on it? The Republicans? Hahahaha!” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC.

He was told to step aside because he got caught ‘CAIR’ing too much.

Oh yeah...the other Muslim outreach director resigned after 2 weeks because of an affiliation with an Islamic fundraising group with a dubious reputation.

Maybe I’m over-reacting, but showing NO-BAMA with that particular book in his hand, well, that just blew me away. Sure, we can all read whatever we want, have well-rounded and nurtured perspectives and all, but given his shady associations, I’m just speechless...Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot!

I’m sending that that pic to everyone!

The Obama campaign’s Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists, NBC News has learned. The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment, and that its top Muslim staffer would not have attended the meeting if she had known the full participant list beforehand.

“Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC.
Do you suppose they would wait until they get an email from the McCain campaign, if the tables were turned -- so they can make sure they can report their excuse or so sensitive apology?

I don't really think it's a totally "anti" American book - but it sure isn't totally "pro", either. I think the author believes we should get used to being the lesser power in the world and like it. The guy writes for Newsweek. It sure doesn't look very good, tho. It's barack's "W-moment" photo-op for his followers. Remember this?
