I am increasingly alarmed that he may be some kind of Manchurian candidate of America’s enemies

sorry to reply to you again but I saw this post.
I actually do believe he has been groomed for this infiltration for years by Ayers etc.

I just hope the feds are watching him and he is under investigation

“....His first executive order concerned closing Gitmo, and “modifying” any future interrogations of terroist/detainees.....”

Don’t forget that his Attorney General, Eric Holder’s law firm represents 17 Gitmo detainees too.

WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!

Bears repeating, penelopesire...

“I actually do believe he has been groomed for this infiltration for years by Ayers etc.”

Me too. Scary, isn’t it?

“I just hope the feds are watching him and he is under investigation”

I don’t believe that the ‘fed’ is doing anything. Most of them are Clinton hold-overs and with Obama’s pick for Attorney General, Eric Holder..they sure as hell won’t be ‘doing anything’! Eric Holder’s law firm is representing 17 Gitmo terrorists for cryin out loud!

Our country is in grave danger from these people!

If Bush had done this in 2000 or 2004 it would have been said over and over because he wanted to get in touch with his oil buddies over in the M.E., now it’s just Obama calling distant relatives.

The giant is awake, but tied down by the lilliputians with their tiny cords. When will he shrug off the threads and get down to business?

In the same spirit of Sean Penn,I spent a good majority of yesterday going to various Islam websites (as an official US ambassador of Goodwill) and letting them know the joy Americans felt watching Isreal.
No need for thanks Mr. Obama!

Next he’ll be offering up a 7 year peace plan. This is stunning.

Obama is immediately paying back those who paid the most to his campaign—and the Arabs poured millions in. Just like all the benefactors of the so-called “stimulus” package—NEA, ACORN, Big Enviro, trial lawyers, etc. etc. etc. Stimulus=political payoffs.

I would expect Imam Obama to speak to his faithful brethren.
