Gosh, and here I was running out of reasons to loathe this man.

He one accomplishment I hope never gets beaten: he’s the first President to be a disgrace to two continents of orign (plus the one he immigrated to).

" Barack Hussein Obama has shown his true colors and they are not American."

His true colors were always visable to those with open eyes.

People generally expect political opponents to mention obvious things about one another. McCain declined, Palin didn’t dare (tight muzzle), and so Obama was a feelgood candidate.

How could so many people be so blind?

There’s nothing wrong with our government trying to make friends with peaceful Muslims, but Obama’s overtures of friendship to those Muslims need to always include a strong condemnation of terrorists. Obama seems to refuse to acknowledge that the terrorists are our enemies. Maybe he thinks he can convert them to our friends but most of us don’t believe that. Once again he ignores public sentiment.

Mr President ....during WW2 under a Democrat president, Japanese Americans (who had nothing to do with our Japanese enemies) were held in camps.

Nothing like that has occurred with Muslims after 9 11.

Muslims are lot ostracized , not persecuted , and not held in contempt because of the actions of some of them.

They are free to worship and do what they wish even though some extremists in their midst continue to plot against this nation. If you feel the treatment of Muslims needs improvement fine ....continue to work on their behalf.

There is only one reason to place a Mosque at ground Zero. It is intended to make a political and social statement. The American people do not want or need a a statement made there. Period

Eggheads in psychology could probably dissect the reason for the cognitive disconnect. Suffice it that the Rats exploited this phenomenon to punk the system slyly. Had the GOP candidate been, say, Romney or Huckabee, the Rats probably would have given the nod to Hillary and tossed Obama under the bus, because either of those quasi-Pubs would at least not have been the Kentucky Fried Gentleman.

That is a fact. What if during WW2 there was an effort to celebrate the virtues of Bushido?

Let’s not forget that Obama turned off all credit card fraud protection, meaning any foreign donation could be made with fraudulent American addresses. He did not and was not required to report any donation under $100. He is owned by the Saudis.
