Life can be tough when your name is Barack Hussein Obama
I actually feel bad for Obama on this one. I disagree with almost every one of his policies, and I think he would be a disaster as a president, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling sympathy for the guy.
Recently, two Muslim women with traditional head coverings attended an Obama rally in Detroit. Apparently by chance, these women ended up sitting behind him in what would be full view of the television cameras.
Can you imagine the harried conversations between the Obama handlers:
“Crap! Those Muslim ladies are right in camera shot. Now everyone will think Obama really is a Muslim.”
”Well, what are you going to do? Move them? Because they are wearing religious head coverings? That seems pretty dirtbag.”
”Crap! The rally is about to start. Are we going to be bigots or are we going to go live with two Muslim ladies in traditional head coverings standing behind a presidential candidate named Barack Hussein Obama who attended a Muslim elementary school but is actually a Christian and who doesn’t like to wear a flag pin and whose wife says crazy things like ”for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country” and whose pastor is a complete racist loon bag who thinks that 9/11 was an inside job and that the CIA invented AIDS to kill black people?”
“Send the intern over and get those women out of here!”
And that is exactly what happened. According to a story in today’s Daily News:
Campaign volunteers barred Hebba Aref and Shimaa Abdelfadeel from appearing behind Obama at a Detroit rally because they feared the women’s traditional head coverings would create a negative impression of the candidate on National TV.
Of course, this necessitated personal apologies from Barry himself. That must have sucked.
For the record, I do not buy into those stupid rumors about Obama being a closet Muslim who will change the Constitution to put the United States under Sharia law and ban all beer and stogies and make all the ladies wear crazy head scarves and make our sons grow Saddam Hussein mustaches, and make soccer that national pastime instead of baseball, or whatever it is that these idiots are worried about. If I get one more email along these lines I am going to terrorist fist jab a puppy.
I didn’t intend for this article to turn into a rant about the moronic crap that people forward into my email box, but I have to get this off of my chest: BEFORE YOU FORWARD THE EMAIL, CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS MARGINALLY ACCURATE ON SNOPES.COM. For instance, Snopes has a nice article debunking the Obama is a Muslim rumor. Please read it. (Also, Microsoft and/or AOL will not send you money for forwarding along an “email beta test.” Sorry to burst your bubble.)
The Republicans are going to have a hard enough time as it is this election. It makes it worse when people waste their time on non-issues like Obama’s secret religious beliefs instead of the clear substantive problem with an Obama presidency: HE IS A HOPELESS LEFTIST WHO WILL DRIVE THE ECONOMY INTO THE GROUND WITH NEW TAXES AND RIDICULOUS PROTECTIONIST TRADE POLICIES.
And if he really was a secret Muslim agent bent on destroying the country, don’t you think he would have come up with a better name?

This is what happens when you promise change and its only a platitude. Obama is a politician just like any other politician. We are seeing that now after his political battle with Hillary and his new one with Senator McCain. He is just a shrew and ruthless as any of them.
I can’t believe Barack Obama, who prides himself on changing America’s view a race difference would employ people who believe that muslim women can’t be on tv. This is simply despicable.
@TheTallLady: I don’t think they thought it was wrong for them to be on TV. They didn’t want them in-shot with Obama, thats a big difference.
Can you blame them? Half the banjo totters in the south still think he’s Muslim thanks to Rush doing the “Osama - Obama” rant. The irony of course is they know all about his “radical black reverend”, and when you ask “Aren’t reverends Christian, not Muslims?” they get all confused.
Hey woody14619,
Lets give credit where its due “Osama - Obama” was a Ted Kennedy quote. Limbaugh just plays it ad nausea. (I think Limbaugh secretly wants Obama it will be great for his ratings)
So why didn’t Fast Eddie Obama’s people want those kids in the shot? I saw them before they took them out. They were nice looking kids no different than the others. Only difference I saw were Islamic headscarfs. Shouldn’t Fast Eddie Obama want them in the shot? He is a uniter right? How is going to talk to Ahmendijad if he doesn’t want to be in a picture with him.
I’m patiiently waiting for the liberal blog sites to call Obama racist against muslims and that he is a hate-monger.
That is exactly what this decision by Obama and his handlers would have yielded from Democrats if he were Republican.
Change my backside. Obama is a typical politician. And a flaming liberal radical socialist politician at that.
Is it OK to be racist and a hate-monger if you’re a Democrat now? Someone should tell Sen. Robert Byrd that he didn’t have to leave the KKK.
