I call it as I see it.

So, tone it down.

Add that to your HTML skills and this place will be a better one for all of us.

Good grief you two...

This isnt about the fake Romney...

Have you been taking notice of Barry’s speeches ???

Hes sliding the Moslems into US history where they never were...

hes making them a legitimate part of the founding of our country...

Just little unsourced bits and peices are made to look big and important...

Is anyone asking him where he is getting some of it from ???

take this latest dinner...

Barry said

“The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan —- making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.”

Where did he get that from well its in Wiki...

and Wiki sourced a speech at another Iftar dinner last year...

Farah Anwar Pandith who is the “Special Representative to Muslim Communities” for Secretary of state hillary Clinton, said

“Two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson held the first recorded Iftar with the Ambassador from Tunisia at sunset. It was not until 1999 that then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton – (applause) – broke new ground by hosting the first-ever Eid celebration at the White House. And now at sunset, during the holy month of Ramadan, Iftars are as common in Washington as an evening reception.”

(Farah Anwar Pandith, Special Representative to Muslim Communities, The Annual State Department Iftaar Dinner, Benjamin Franklin Room, Washington, DC, September 15, 2009)

Now your mission, if you accept it, is to find out

1. Where Ms Pandith got this imformation
2. If Jefferson did indeed hold “the first recorded Iftar with the Ambassador from Tunisia at sunset.”
