Obama Speaks Under Arafat Banner
The Weekly Standard ^ | 03/21/2013 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 03/21/2013 7:12:44 AM PDT by pepsi_junkie

At a press conference today in Ramallah, President Barack Obama addressed the assembled journalists while standing under a Yasser Arafat banner:

"Hope everyone saw presser. If not there, it was notable that Obama and Abbas spoke from under a banner bearing pictures of Arafat and Abbas. Also another big banner was hanging on wall nearby with Abbas kind of superimposed on Arafat," the White House pool reporter notes.

If the Israelis trust this Muslim sympathizer to protect them, they will be annihilated. They can’t be that gullible.

He could have spoken away from the image. Because of that, he CHOSE to speak under it.
At Notre Dame, he made sure all references to Christianity were covered, but when it comes to Islam or Islamic characters, he has no problem.

Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words. What does this tell you about the real oboma?

Obama-the-Undocumented Tyrant
always supports murderers of US Ambassadors;
and expects the public to believe that
Arafat was giving the invalid
Mr. Klinghoffer a private swimming lesson.

we know for a fact that this admin pays special attention to the back drop, they get their colored faces in the crowd, they remove crosses or have them covered up but are we supposed to think that this was not noticed and I wonder how Bibi feels about seeing that.

Of course obama wants to honor a terrorist pederast who died of AIDS.

They see themselves as victims of oboma. He's using U.S. resources to build a muslim caliphate to surround Israel.
oboma has done everything in his power to help the muslims while at the same time depleting every bit of American resourses he can, plus he's destroying our military so we can't come to Israel aid. He's taking the U.S., the "restrainer", out of his way.

(obomas targets in the U.S. have been our economy, our military, and he's confusing our government. Do these three areas rig a bell? Who else tried to destroy our economy, our military, and our government? Think about that a minute.)

The only sure result from this visit and his palestinian a**-kissing is that more Israelis will die.

From 2009:

Georgetown. Notre Dame covered up a wall. The administrations at these schools (since the 1950s at least DUH!) have no respect for Catholicism. Parents are stupid to spend their and their kids’ resources there, as the kids learn how to put down Catholicism. And they are stupid to be surprised.
They’re better off at a secular college.

According to a Georgetown spokeswoman, Julie Green Bataille:

“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage.”

“The White House,” she added, “wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches.”

Turns out, the usual movable drapery barriers were not tall enough to hide the cross and IHS emblem, a traditional Catholic abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ. So the school agreed to cloak the entire wall structure with the religious symbols. (See photos) Our colleague Mark Silva has more details here.

The Democratic White House explained the move as a desire to keep the backdrop for presidential speeches consistent and not distracting to the audience. The president, who has yet to select a local parish for his family in Washington, has described his religion as “Christian.”

It tells me that some of the people in this country in hig positions of authority to protect and defend Catholicism are wimps of a very high order and Dante illustrates a special place for them in their eternity, which they seem to be ignoring.

We already know who BO is, and so do they.

They are horrible.

The new Pope does not go in for mixing it up with politicians and had fallen out of favor with many Jesuits who go for liberation theology _ NOT a requirement for being a Jesuit, which has its roots in authentic Catholicism.

It is a fact. Look at the reports of what happened at Georgetown regarding how sensitive the Muz in chief was to the backdrop.

Those wimps, not defending Catholicism and the crucifixion.

If they’re not sorry, looking at this story, they
re going to be very, very, sorry later

Anyone who doesn’t realize this guy’s true intentions is fooling themselves....total suckers. He uses these visual clues constantly to communicate where his real allegiances fall.

I’d like to think the Mossad and Bibi has some rather explosive information reguarding his eligibility that they are just sitting on and waiting for the other shoe to drop...

I’d like to think my dreams can come true...
