Hillary Clinton Circulates Photo of Muslim Barack Obama. Asks What’s the Problem?
Just when I was going to write about Hillary Clinton’s split personality - friendly during debates, furious the morning after - in comes an even better piece of blurb fodder. Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff emailed a photo of Barack Obama dressed as a Somali elder. The picture was from a 2006 trip he took to Wajir, Kenya. As you see in the photo above; later he slipped into the elder’s dressing.
The Drudge Report headlined this and to their credit they also noted that many political figures do the same when visiting foreign countries.
Wasn’t it just last week that President Bush was dancing and playing the drums in Africa? You could imagine how that would have played with Obama attached to it. So where there is the ‘everyone does it’ factor to it, race still plays a part in how a picture or situation like that is perceived.
It’s a clear attempt to smear Barack Obama’s image. Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe said as much this morning, calling the distributed photo “shameful offensive fear-mongering.”
Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams shot back with this..
“Enough. If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely. This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry. We will not be distracted.”.
So they distribute the photo and claim Barack Obama is the one distracting people from the issues?
I don’t know why I’d question that, Obama called it perfectly in the last debate, this is where we get to “silly season” in politics.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
I cannot see why anyone black would vote for Hillary…
I can not see why anyone with any integrity would vote for HRC. She complained about Obama distributing flyers discussing the issues, and said “shame on you” and then her people distribute this? Further, isn’t this really a racist attack by the Clinton campaign? The purpose of which is to suggest that this form of costume is somehow “un-American” or “Muslim” or worst “black”?
Every time Hillary has attacked Obama personally like this I have sent his campaign $25. I think this time I’ll send them $50.
nobody should vote for hilary
at this time hilary getting sick need to doctor.
hilary crazy women need withdraw canadian presidential
Ok, hold on. It is ok that Hillary has spent her political career to helping woman and “minorities.” However, you people forget that? It seems to me that you are the ones that are racist. You’re voting for Obama just because he has black skin. You know nothing about him except for the hot air he blows. How do you know his true intentions for America? I think Hillary has shown she cares about “all” people. She has done a lot for people who have been left behind, but now you turn your back on her -wow. She is the last politician that would ever be racist! Please take a second look at Barack; are sure your not just looking at his skin color? What has he really done for anyone? Do you think he has “a backbone” enough to stand up to the Republicans- to stand up for minorities or women? I don’t think he’s strong enough. I don’t think he will end up doing a thing for those that have been neglected. He’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Please think with your mind and not with your emotions. Saying he’s anti- american isn’t the same as being racist. We “are” Americans and we should be loyal to our country! Befriending countries who attack us???????? Your going to ruin are country if you’re not careful who you put in office. It is wonderful we have a black man and a woman running, but country loyalty is essential.
I’m thinking of sending Clinton’s campaign a donation also. Thanks for the idea.
Once you are muslim, you are muslim forever. That’s Barack Hussein Obama
Thanks.
No person should vote for Hillary. I can’t believe some people are really dumb enough to buy her bs.
Angel, please do not be naive. Not all Muslims cause terror…..Obama is American..do you think he would put his country in any bad position and just for your information…Obama is a christian. He has never been a muslim.
I am a woman and I despise the Clintons and the mess they did the last time around…I would like to see the issue of Ohio 2004 vs. New York 2008. Back in 2004 there was a zero count in polling place that were mostly black. The NY primary in 2008- 80 precinct in Harlem/Brooklyn with a zero count so that she can have a win??? but not on anyone’s radar except NYC…even the mayor of NYC is mad…now talk about bs and her tantrums plus disrespecting MLK’s son in Harlem but dismiss that?? Enough is enough at least Obama equals unity
I think its high time to view and correct our mistakes,HRC should be ashamed of herself, she forgot God created human in his likeness,Obama is a christian and was never of a Muslim faith and even if he was-whats her stress about that?I am a Citizen of the world and precisely from Lagos,Nigeria. Please help me tell HRC that HATE dont move far,if she does not win this tym;better luck next time but if she continues like this i bet it with her that she’s treading on the path of destruction.Let her get that right.
BARACK WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF UR INTENTION AND UR RACE.
Hillary is sick
f**k hillary
Obama is best option
Barack Hussein Obama, yea lets make someone president who has name commonalities with terrorists we have/are hunting for!!!!!!! i bet he is one of the 9/11 terrorists that slept in and missed the plane =D
How soon blacks forget how faithful the Clintons were to them.
They are voting Obama only because he is black and gives nice empty speaches. When asked a few years ago if he were going to run for president he said no, cause he wasn’t experienced enough. I wonder what made him change his mind. He certainly isn’t experience at all and like Chamberlain before WWII, he would talk with Mr. Ahminajahd and other scum, and think it will bring the US peace and security.
If this guy becomes President it is curtains for the US (and yes, he does have muslim sympathies—- why would’t he. It is his heritage)
If Obama was in fact, really a Muslim, do you think that he would admit to it, while he has hopes for becoming the President of the US???
I am an obama supporter and if they say that the clinton campaign released this, well what a shame. I am 19 yrs old and I am black. And there ARE black ppl voting for Obama just because he’s black, and that’s wrong. And there are people voting for hillary bcz she’s a woman, and that is wrong. Just like there are ppl voting for McCain bcz they dont want a black or female prez. I have extensive knowledge of the issues, and I side with Barack, and the fact that he looks like me helps. Im not smearing anyone because that’s wrong. But like Obama said “it’s silly season and ppl are starting to become discouraged.” AND ALL THAT MATTERS, NO MATTER WHO YOU CHOOSE TO SUPPORT, IS THAT PPL ARE GETTING OUT THERE TO VOTE! POINT BLANK PERIOD! so lets stop attacking politiicans personally, its just BUSINESS!!
Go barrack!!!!
Fuck hillary!
Go obama
0BAMA WILL TELL EM
N THAT PIC IS S0O0 PH0T0SH0PPED! DUH
Barack obama wont salute the american flag!! That is totally UN American! The man is a muslim.
Stick with the republicans!!!!!!
It’s funny how many white people are getting scared and running to black people and trying to turn us against Obama. You need the black vote now ha?
This Great “divide” between the dems will destroy there chances and forge the way for 8 more repubs.
McCain-Huckabee ‘08
Huckabee ‘12
Yet another scared white boy. Here comes a black president. You guys are in panic mode.
All we need is a ‘Hussein’ running the country. Wow, if we could only look to the future to see where THAT will lead…......
The point is that Obama is an undercover Muslim… If he was not why go to such great lengths to hide it, including shaming/shunning people that utilize his BIRTH NAME? Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. If he was wearing a Kilt no one would say anything, but he has turned it into this. You people that believe his line of crap he is feeding you should be ashamed of your selves, for not doing any resreach on his opponents to see clearly just who is the lesser evil. AND OMG MICHELE OBAMA WHAT AN EVIL EVIL EVIL HUMAN BEING. SERIOUSLY LOOK UP ALL HER WAL-MART TIES (Tree House Foods) AND “NONPROFIT HOSPITAL” affiliations and see just how much SHE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF POOR AFRICAN AMERICANS. You also might want to take a gander at this article below and research so much more before ANY ONE says not to vote for Hillary out of complete ignorance (not I did not say stupid i said IGNORANCE a distinct difference). She is the Champion for the people of the USA. I have not even begun to scratch the surface here, but he has SOOOOO MANY TIES TO TERRORIST both Domestic and Foreign. THIS NUT WANTS TO NUCLEAR BOMB PAKISTAN!!!! LOOK OUT AMERICA IF THIS DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY POLITICIAN BECOMES YOUR PRESIDENT. WE THE WORLD WILL LOOK AT YOU IN AN EVEN DARKER WORSE LIGHT THAN GEORGE BUSH HAS CREATED FOR YOU!!!
Antoin “Tony” REZKO KNOWN MUSLIM & HUSSEIN OBAMA CLOSE FRIEND AND CONTRIBUTOR
By Bob Secter | TRIBUNE REPORTER
February 26, 2008
The name of Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama is likely to be subpoenaed in the federal corruption trial of Antoin “Tony” Rezko Syrian Muslim, as the result of a judge’s ruling Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Amy St. Eve, who is presiding over Rezko’s trial, told prosecutors they could introduce evidence to support allegations that Rezko used straw men like Hussein “Barry” Obama to make political contributions on his behalf.
Prosecutors have alleged that the money came from fees Rezko illegally siphoned from a state pension board.
In her ruling, St. Eve said the government contends that Rezko directed business associates Joseph Aramanda and Elie Maloof to make contributions to an unnamed political candidate in late 2003 and 2004 because Rezko had already contributed the maximum legal amount.
The only candidate Maloof and Aramanda contributed to during that time frame was Obama, then running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. Maloof and Aramanda each gave $10,000 to Obama’s campaign.
Maloof of had supported Obama in an earlier political campaign, and disclosure reports from that effort listed her as a vice president of operations for a Rezko pizzeria management firm. Aramanda is a Glenview businessman whose son received a coveted summer internship in Obama’s Capitol Hill office in 2005.
Until his recent legal troubles, Rezko had been a longtime friend and financial supporter of Obama’s political career. Prosecutors could claim wrongdoing on Obama’s part, but the developments come at an awkward time as Obama faces crucial March 4 primary contests, one day after the scheduled start of the trial.
Obama’s campaign says it has given more than $150,000 in Rezko-linked contributions to “charity”, including the money from Aramanda and Maloof.
“We had no knowledge of any straw donations and have returned any of the donations about which we have any reasonable question,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement late Monday.

You white people are really scared. Obama wasn’t a muslim when you people thought that Hilary was going to win. Now that she is in a dog fight you guys are coming on to our site trying to change our minds. YOU CAN’T CHANGE US!! The only reason you want to communicate with us is to get our vote for Clinton. Go back to where you have been. If Hilary was to win half of you would never come to this site again. So don’t come here when you need us. Before all of you started to come change our minds it was a toss up for me now that I see all the racist coming out Obama has my favor. Thanks for helping me decide who I am going to vote for.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, Brother Obama. Another politician inspired to religious fervor in the middle of a hot campaign. It’s not yet clear, whether he prays to Allah 5 times a day or not, just to cover his bets.
Hey, I am a white person, I am scared that Barack Obama is going to win, what should I do? I am so afraid of having a black president. I might commit suicide. HELP ME
I AGREE WITH LEO. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER STUTIED MUSLIM RELIGION ONCE YOU ARE A MUSLIM YOU ARE ALWAYS A MUSLIM PEOPLE HIDE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MUSLIM BECAUSE IN THE STATES AMERICANS FROWN ON IT. SO OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO HIDE IT . MY OPINION BLACK, WHITE, RED, YELLOW, I DON’T CARE IF YOU HAVE ANY MUSLIM BACKGROUND I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANYONE WITH ANY KIND OF MUSLIM BACKGROUND.I WOULD VOTE McCAIN BEFORE EVER THINKING OF A MUSLIM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I FEAR OF WHAT IS TO COME IF AMERICANS DON’T WAKE THE F*CK UP!!!!!!!

loll that “whiteboy” person is funny! Obama to win! and he aint a muslim. If you have said you’re not a muslim, then you’re not a muslim. very strict laws.
Did we forget that Obama is half white. Man, if you have an inch of Black in you. White people don’t like you. That is a racist shame.
angel i agree with some of what you say but as they have already said… not all muslims are terrorist. maybe obama is muslim, christian, catholic what ever that should not matter. if we want changes to happen in this country then we need someone who is experienced has realistic goals and are positive they can make a change and that would have to be Hilary Clinton.

I HATE Obama and Hillary, VOTE FOR McCain! VOTE FOR McCAIN!!!!!!!!VOTE FOR McCAIN!!!!!!!!!
Whudat,
Love your site.
Truth-loving Americans and everyone else in the “reality-based community” understand that the “Barack = Muslim” thing is a smear…not only against Barack, but against Muslims, Christians, and the DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
Hillary Clinton: SHAME ON YOU. Just STOP, OK? Please run on the issues, for once in your life, rather than smearing your opponents, asking the rules be changed, crying, stomping around and scolding people, and otherwise acting like a middle schooler.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool feminist…but Hill, you have LOST MY VOTE. Not based on experience, or issues. It’s based on how you and Bill have conducted this campaign. Shamefully.

This site has made me even more against barack..i think i`m moving to canada
goodbye
a muslim faith is not easy,if you say once am not a muslim,then you are out of islam even if you was a muslim,obama said he is not a muslim and that is enough.very strict low.
all this negative opinion is not gonna hellp the needy ppl who have lost thir jobs,healthy care and loosing their homes,
sereuosly,ask your self who will do well,
if you think Obama will do good job then vote for him,and if you think Clinton will do that then vote for her,easy,,,,,,,,,,,,,peace 4 all.
honestly lets give Obama chanse,4 years is tomorro,i think he will take his responsibility since he is from minority,he will try to do more
Everyone says that this election is not about race or religion. Take a step back and look at who is talking. I’ve never heard a Black person that didnt like Obama, a Baptist that didnt hate Rommney, and a war hawk that didnt like McCain. People vote for people who are like them because that is who they are comfortable with. Nobody talks about the issues, the real nitty gritty of what needs to get done. No one addresses why most of the world hates america or why the middle class is seeing more and more difficult times. All we get is rhetoric that makes people who have already made a decision feel good. I also dont appreciate the double standard imposed on white people. Yes, I am a white person and when I was in high school I was called every slur out of the racist book by black people just walking down the hall. If I even though of saying something back I would have a law suit on my hands. The black people on this site say whites are afraid. How does it sound if we went the other way around and I said something like this,“I cannot see why anyone white would vote for Barrack…” or “McCain WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF UR INTENTION AND UR RACE.” or “and I side with Hillary, and the fact that she looks like me helps.” If we all want to be on equal footing then lets all be on equal footing.
There is a difference between a muslim outfit and a traditional outfit. As a somali, i know that is a traditional somalia outfit that and has nothing to do with Islam. Its normal practice for visitors to be offered to dress like that. This usually means that the people showed him the highest level of respect. Nothing to do with Islam.
we need a change, so lets go W/ a black president, im tired of whit ppl
Hey stupid racist go to hell
Black people are way more racist then white people.
I suggest that anyone here making references to barack obama’s name as being muslim should first stop and think. A name is just that, a name. You are not a muslim because of your name, but by practice. Barack obama is not a practicing muslim and therefore he is not a muslim. Also,I understand everyones prejudice against muslims, but the media does not paint a fair picture of us. Do your own research from an unbiased source and visit your local mosque and find out more about the religon by yourself and not what the media spoon feeds you. On top of that, have you guys even thought of the evidence pertaining to the incident on 9/11. Apparantley it was a bunch of muslim men who commited this crime, one of the most stupid thing about all that is that they identified them by their passports which just happened to lay their on the ground while the black box was mysteriously “destroyed”, the black box was made to be indestructible, never in the history of a black box has one been destroyed, lost but not destroyed, think about it.
as a person of “un-American” beliefs as they are called, and with friends with real minds I am quite appalled.
shouldn’t we all be enjoying the separation of church and state?
why should it matter that he shows respect to people of a country he visits? why should it matter that he is muslim? the government and popular media force feeds you people narrow-minded beliefs, Islam is little different from christianity, All religions are based on the same basic principles, how you should treat a fellow person, doing things the right way even when it doesn’t seem to matter.
I, for one, have officially decided to show a larger sum of respect for Obama, I thought Hillary wasn’t right in the head and shouldn’t have the position of the figure head for the United States,
can’t trust her, she let her husband cheat on her TWICE!! and did not dump his ass!
to the post reading ‘here comes another scared white boy’....are you kidding me? this is not about a qualified candidate, it’s about people who feel that they have been repressed by white people and do not wish to unite the country, only to dominate and feel justified. obama needs the white and black votes to win. just wait, if he makes it into the white house and is unable to satisfy the black people of this country, they will turn against him and call him a ‘sell-out’.
No, I am not kidding you half of you weren’t even coming on this site until you realized that Barack was a real threat to Hillary Clinton. That is when you guys started to come up here. You say that blacks don’t want to unite this country, we aren’t the ones that are trying to put the white race down. We aren’t the ones putting white people in jail for crimes that they didn’t commit. So get your facts straight before you open your mouth. MORON!!!
It sounds as though you are very angry about your life. Why don’t you stop targeting your anger towards a race and start focusing on your own personal life and what you contribute to humanity. You are all over the place with your accusations. Both black and white people are targeted unfairly by police. If the stats are towards more blacks, perhaps it is time to focus on more positive endeavors instead of crime.
Don’t give me that shit that whites and blacks get treated unfairly by cops. When was the last time that you were pulled over solely because you were black. When were you gunned down for no reason. All you punk ass white people like to say it is because blacks do wrong things but trust me whites do just as many illegal things if not more so shut that dumb ass shit up. These aren’t acusations these are facts dumb ass.
Have you personally ever been pulled over by the police because you are black? Why don’t you stop your little crying act and think about the freedom that everyone shares in this country and be thankful. Woman have been considered possessions in marriage and also were unable to vote up until recently. They are still treated with sexism and violence. Think about parts of Africa and all over the world. Black on black racism and murder for having darker skin is very prevalent.
You are white so you can think that this racist America that we live in is free. Why is it anytime that a black person brings up racism we are considered crying? Racism doesn’t happen to you so you don’t see and feel what we go through. Until your white ass walks in the shoes of a black man don’t comment on racism because your white ass knows nothing about it. To answer your question about being pulled over for being black, yes I have it happens all the time because the white cops are intimidated by the black man when they are out of uniform so they have to feel like a superman when they are in them.
I went to a predominantly black Catholic school as a child and was unaware of the reason why many of the other black students called me ‘honky’ and would jump out from behind corners in groups and punch me. I could not understand why they did not like me but at the same time, I met other blacks that became my best friends. Racism is learned behavior and black on white racism is very much alive. I do not hate black people because of these experiences and I feel that we need to rise above as people and individually. Racism is everywhere in the world (and not just white on black) as is sexism. It depends on your own decision on how to handle and let it affect your life.
Bigotry, sexism, and racism are all the same hateful behaviors and are inexcusable. I am not being demeaning but think about how far America has come and we are moving forward even still. Let’s not go backward. Racism and other lower minded behavior only exists in the mind. Don’t give it power and try to stay positive. DON’T HATE.
You went to a school and got punched by little kids. We get denied loans for businesses and homes, put in jail unjustly, get turned down for promotions, jobs and so on. So you see you can’t compare the shit that happens to you that happens to black people. So do not try to trivialize and compare our situations. Most, not all, black on white racism is in defence of what happens to us. I agree with you when you say don’t hate but at some point we have to stand up for what is ours. All we want is equality and we are far from getting that.
I have been in mortgage for the past 12 years and have made more loans to blacks than I have to whites. You will never have equality until you believe that you are equal and hating whites and constantly complaining about how bad you have it will never put you or anyone else in that place. Waiting for the external environment to make you feel equal is like waiting for the world to become perfect. It has to be an internal transformation. Anyone can talk about their horror stories…..you put me down because I was beat up as a child? Our experiences as children shape us. Don’t be a bitter adult. Wish for equality but transform bitterness to love and compassion. Oprah Winfrey moved from rape and molestation as a child to become one of the richest and most influential women of our times.
So, what personal experiences have YOU had with white on black racism? You seem to speak in generalities. Are you just adopting what you hear?
Once you stop justifying ANY type of racism regardless of white on black, black on black, black on white, etc. you will move into a higher state of consciousness. There is no excuse for any, because if you or anyone else is excused, than so can others be excused equally. Remember? You want equality.
You say don’t comment until you have ‘walked in the shoes of the black man’? I am white and if I were to go and walk through say south central LA or parts of downtown Detroit, I would be shot. Blacks aren’t even safe in these communities. Aggressive, violent, and dominating behavior regardless of skin color, gender, or religious beliefs is the center of the issue. We find it very easy to label it as everything else.
You have given more loans to blacks than whites, 1st, I find that hard to believe and 2nd, if that is true then you are the minority when it comes to that. All that mess about having equality until I believe in it is a bunch of bullshit. I clearly know that I am equal or better than any man so lets not put racism on the false notion that the black man feels that he is not equal to the white man. Who are you trying to brainwash because it can’t be me. Once again you are trying to say that blacks hate whites which is a lie. You know that it is the other way around or should I say that they fear us. It seems like you just want us to shut up and continue to bow down to the white man and continue to let this kind of shit happen but like I said at some point we have to stand up for what we are not being given a shot at and that is equality. Let me tell you a story at my job I am the next in line for a promotion everyone at the job knows it but my boss continues to struggle with giving me that positionand everyone in the office black, white, asain they all have said it and they know it is because I am black so lets stop all that internal transformation garbage, lets keep it real. The story about walking in urban cities and because you are white you would get shot is a typical answer that a white person says that is believing everything that they hear on the news or read in the newspaper. Oh yeah I am not generalizing anything I have been pulled over by the cop for nothing, I have been accused of being in a hit and run and put in a line up and had to prove that it wasn’t me, I have been on job interviews and told that the position was filled gone home and scheduled another appointment for the same position so as you can see I have gone through this stuff first hand, I just didn’t wake up and say that their are whites that are racist. Whites in power are racist and that is just the way it is. Maybe you are not but a lot in your race are.
I understand what you are saying and I am not doubting in any way that you are totally accurate. Regarding the loans, be it selfish for most, loan officers and companies want to make as many loans as possible. Racial profiling would probably exist more in real estate sales than in mortgage. Government guidelines be it fha or fnma do not allow and monitor companies and who they give loans to and who they deny. Not that companies are being good people but it is just plain business. I have always been an advocate for anyone to get the best loan and have warned people of predatory lending.
I had a black supervisor when I worked for a certain popular loan company. I sat next to her friend who did not like me and overheard her making racial statements about me. I was told by other whites in the company that our black boss is racist and is misusing her power. I REFUSE to think along those lines and generalize about people and will continue to view people on an individualized basis. Just today buying lottery tickets I was in line with an older black woman and we conversed as though racism did not exist. I felt overwhelming love for her as a beautiful person and was very touched. Don’t waste your time and energy with ignorance and know that there are people that love you for you. I’m sorry that you had those experiences with police. They are in major need of reform and it is happening now. Have faith, you’re loved.
Have you made a vision board regarding the job that you deserve? Go to Target and buy a cork board and put a pic of yourself with a heading that you have been promoted and believe and live as though you have already been promoted. Don’t listen to the negativity around you. Don’t let it stop you. Good luck, brother! 😊
You have handled our conversation with class and I can only respect that. Thanks for everything, your race, no, the world really needs more people like you. Keep being yourself and you will really be blessed. Thanks again brother. Peace out!
I have enjoyed our conversation, thank you for this.
Anyone that believes that they have been a victim of discrimination due to their race, ancestry, disability, or religious beliefs during a housing application should contact their local Fair Housing Dept. housing division, or HUD (Housing and Urban Development) to report it. For employment contact state or federal fair employment department. Whether moving forward to a formal complaint or investigation, it is best to always know your rights and responsibilities. Good luck.
Don’t kid yourself. These ‘friends’ that you have telling you that you are a victim or race discrimination or more than likely going to your boss behind your back telling him that you are a racist. Unfortunately, when it comes to business, it is a two-faced, backstabbing world. Businesses want the least amount of drama and control amongst their management staffs whether they discriminate or not. It would probably surprise you how many of your friends in the office want that position as well or are just using you as an excuse to suck up to the boss. BEWARE OF WHAT YOU SAY AND KEEP THESE OPINIONS (WHETHER RIGHT OR NOT) TO YOURSELF FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY. Hope you are able to land the job. 😊
Thanks for the info I will definately keep ALL of your words in mind. Good looking out!!!
Peace, love and success to you brother!!!
Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON—
Recently, Obama’s campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming Tax Fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and disclose Obama’s MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama’s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright’s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said “truly epitomized greatness.” That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke “GLORK” Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!!—
OBAM YOU’RE NO JFK—
“GLORK” Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: “Tales Calculated To Drive You.” He is a MUSLIM “Glork” He’s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek.
Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
“GLORK” Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband—the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster—Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle’s relationship with MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV—AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed.
“God damn America” - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama.
“God bless America” - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton—
If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of the leftist-separatist, racist-beast-‘ist Michelle, his jackanapes’ collegial elitism, excitedly-fixed, “Nemet-oure-Saxas” black rage, and “GLORK” black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more expeditiously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI—FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM “Glork” It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He’s MAD!!!

THE SPEECH—
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama’s speech takes credit for Ashley’s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic “I Have A Dream” speech. In Obama’s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama’s grandmother share; represents Obama’s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama’s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn—a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama’s speech is a brilliant failure.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
MUSLIM LIES—
The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster—Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that—“Like Father Like Son” Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with “...his incapacity for sound judgment.” In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney’s energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama’s latest Campaign Crisis.
“GLORK” Top Ten Obama Lies:
1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march—Reality: He was born 4 years before that.
2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor—Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..
3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child—Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama’s 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama’s Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.
4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor—Reality: . . . Didn’t happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle’s claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign—Reality: The Chicago Newspaper’s Obelus—Kiss-A-Cuss:...NO-MAMA.
5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white—Reality: . . . Didn’t happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn’t happen.
6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:
Obama: “But it’s not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don’t have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07)—Reality:...The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”
7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:
“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, —Reality: “...An Old Friend’s Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).
8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina—Reality: . . . This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. Inextricably, the towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.
9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal—Reality: . . . This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Passively or reflexively, Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by ex-patriot Obama, as noted above.
10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Sen. Obama has not exaggerated the disconnection with . . .“The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” —Ex. xxxiv. 6; or extolled his vexatious- Vesuvius MUSLIM madrassahs’-faux-pas on us. Sen. Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO); or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Sen. Obama is not involved with, nor has Sen. Obama exhibited any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney’s Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating Campaign Crisis. Sen. Obama does not take money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists or state lobbyists. “GLORK” Sen. Obama Is not involved with any Hoax or Oxfam volunteers and HIV—AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. Sen. Obama is not associated with Exiled “God damn America” SOULJAH JIHAD—Rev. Jeremiah Wright, MUSLIM EXTREMIST (MalcomX KillA)—Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery; or Obama’s Apologia-Mea Culpa; or Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; Sen. Obama has not exulted the virtue of being an aggrieved black man. Sen. Obama does not accept political contributions from terrorists. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the October Surprise: “X-Files”—The 1980 election scandal exposed….the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger-driven association between Obama and aging [VX] Vietnam-era Weather Underground Radical Terrorist William Ayers. Sen. Obama is not a separatist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast is not a liberal-leftist-sexist-racist. Sen. Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box. “GLORK” Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America’s Poison—Reality:...He’s Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD—OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS
The Republicans’ disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain—as the Big Oil—BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders’ GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America’s middle class economy.
When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis include:
“Obama has more holes in him than Swiss-Cheese.” (CNN’s “Politics.com,” 4/01/08)
Obama’s presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]
Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities & Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obam has taken $168,584 from the Mortgage Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]
“GLORK” SOULJAH JIHAD—CAMPAIGN CRISIS
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3369102968312745410&q=Fitna&total=1413&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=5
WASHINGTON — Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.
“GLORK” Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.
Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem —from which he cannot extricate himself.
The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls:—perplexing developments in Obama’s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.
Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama’s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis “God damn America” - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. “God bless America” - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton….stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security.
For a United States Senator, Barack Obama has been doing a lot of explaining about the company he has kept for the last 17 years or so. A politician can not chose the family he has. However; he can chose the pastor he keeps. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has influenced Mr. Obama’s liberal-elitist-separatist-racist views on a variety of subjects. This may be what happened to Obama over the years, as his MUSLIM radicalism and demonize the White-Saxon-race, may expel the same Rev. Wright belief; that America and its US allies brought on 9/11. In a sincere re-examination of his world-view, Obama’s Mea Culpa-Apologia says this guy is like an uncle to him. But shouldn’t his long term relationship with this despicable character call into question at the very least Obama’s judgment? Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright’s MUSLIM Farrakhan - JIHADI—FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Colfax: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists—
“When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.” –Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid
Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama’s bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold & Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth & Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]
Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. “But those who lobby for a living say it’s not that simple, and even Obama’s stance shows some flexibility. He won’t take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers… Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&T;and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn’t giving money to Obama, his name won’t show up in Federal Election Commission records.” [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]
Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. “While Obama doesn’t accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama’s top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year” for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]

Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs
1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. “But behind Obama’s campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama’s campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama’s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns—$296,000 of $461,000—came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.” [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]
In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. “Obama’s US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall.” [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

You Really don’t want a president of any color but white. For you to take this much time to post this bullshit shows your racism. You are not wanted here because you are not trying to get us to see the light, you are trying to get us to vote white. Crawl back into your KKK hole and just die. White people like you make me sick. The Clintons have killed people to keep their secrets safe What do you have to say about that? Obama ain’t never killed nobody!!!
And every one of you is born a lion, but the society goes on conditioning you, programming your mind as a sheep. It gives you a personality, a cozy personality, nice, very convenient, very obedient. Society wants slaves, not people who are absolutely dedicated to freedom. Society wants slaves because all the vested interests want obedience.
Osho
If Obama is a Muslim, then why do we care what his Christian pastor says?
Obama is NOT a Muslim.
Muslim does not mean you are a bad person.
And Jeremiah Wright does not speak on behalf of Barack Obama.
why is it that they only care about obama’s picture but not hillary’s or even bush’s
i mean thats pretty bad and then they say that they’re not racist - too bad for hillary obama is winning and mccain doesn’t have a chance i just wish they stop keeping obama down -
Hillary + Obama = McCain!!!
Why?
Hillary + Obama cancel eachother out!! Yay!!!
The concern over Obama having a heart towards Islam, or even secretly being a Muslim has nothing to do with him being 1/2 black, but with his past actions and connections. Unlike the New Testament, the Qur’an instructs us to lie about our faith when it is to our benefit.
