Supermax prison: Obama's books objectionable
AP ^ | July 9, 2009 | AP via Yahoo

Posted on 07/11/2009 4:34:51 PM PDT by Suvroc10

The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colo., for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.

Greetings fellow Americans.

While some of you are undoubtedly still enjoying your summer holidays (as you well should, especially in these gloomy times of the Obama Recession!), the liberal MSM has once again covered-up a piece of news that's very stimulating because it involves national security implications and our failed POTUS, Barry Hussein Obama.

I was just watching FNC, and in the 3-4PM PST hour--hosted by Rick Folbaum and Jamie Colby (who's 47 but looks like she's in her late 20s)--they had the most interesting tidbit of news of the whole day! Apparently, prison officials acting on guidance from the FBI deemed B. Hussein Obama's two books--Dreams from my Father and Audacity of Hope--too dangerous for national security purposes to be read by their inmates!

This begs the question, What the hell?! What is so dangerous in the pages of the books of our Marxist pResident that Supermax doesn't want its own inmates to have access to them for national security reasons??!

Predictably, the Obama-Mania MSM covered this up as I haven't heard of this ANYWHERE except on FNC today, but I searched for this item on Yahoo News. Sure enough, there it was, buried under everything else and definitely not front page news like Barry's racially tinged trip to Ghana.

What does everyone think of this??

Obama has mad America less safe. No doubt that his books promote racist tendancy and recruitment for jihad against Americans.

but according to the Obama Administration I a retired military member am profiled as a greater terror threat then former convicts that have been indoctrinated in terror techniques of the jihadists.

Go figure..

If B. Hussein O.’s books are considered a threat to national security in Muslim terrorist hands, then why isn’t B. Hussein O.?

Of cause the two books were "ghost written"
by the "terrorist" Bill Ayers.

From the link provided:

Prison officials cite specific pages — but not specific passages — in the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams from My Father," and 22 separate pages in his policy-oriented 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." It was not immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic, though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to foreign affairs.

Just because someone is new doesn't mean they're trolling. It probably does ;)

BTW the three on this thread before me all fit that category of newbieness.

I don’t know, doesn’t seem to be troll bait here, the poster seems to be informed enough that the MSM will not report any negativity regarding a Democrat that Liberal PRAVDA is alive and well in America... but somehow he sure got you all huffy.... Why?

Interesting. I wonder what is the passages that caught the FBI’s attention? I hope it motivates them to go look for the birth certificate </sarc>

What does everyone think of this??

"The rejection is just one indication of the harsh conditions imposed on inmates at the supermax prison, according to Abu Ali's lawyer, Joshua Dratel."

The lawyer is pimping, paid by your tax dollar. Abu Ali doesn't give a F... about the president of the US....get a clue.

I think you’re a troll because you joined the day after the election last year, and this is only the second posting you’ve made.

And you joined a couple of weeks ago. Calling troll back at you.

The man is a Muslim.

Muslims want to kill Apostate Muslims

If he reads the book he wil discover Obama is an apostate Muslim.

He could be dangerous to the Kenyan President if he encouraged such an act.

Thats just my take, might be something else. I believe Obama’s books are mostly Horsecrap anyay, but they made him a millionaire.

AP is the source of this story, so unless the combination to the Vault under the Pentagon is in one or both of these books, this appears to be a great big load, or rather (since it's AP) another great big load, of crap.
