Liberation theology and Islam have some deep seated affinity. Note that Farrakhan and Wright are colleagues. So beyond Obama’s familial ties to Islam, through his church, he has ideological ties.

Muslin murdering thugs, gutter religion of Islam gets breaks while Christians are damned by the US government as terrorists. Obama and his thugs are the terrorists. Threats to the very existence of this nation. Thanks to those 60 plus million who voted for this ass hole. YOU assisted in the destruction of this country.

Seems to me he’s told every terrorist in the world that we won’t hurt them if they kill our citizens. What would they be afraid of now?

Radical black muslim, black panther mentor, black nationalist with Saudi ties backed Obama's elite Harvard education

Snippets: ...Now it turns out that an influential, radical black Muslim with close ties to the Saudi royal family and an outspoken opponent of Israel helped finance Obama's law school education. Obama's benefactor at the young age of 25 is Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour a/k/a Donald Warden........

* "He is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel."

Of course he is. A terror attack using WMDs makes it really easy for him to declare martial law.
