Political Punch

For some reason radical people love Obama.
And he wonders why many Americans don't trust him.

Unfortunately, since 911 a fear of the Islamic has taken center stage of reason in this country. So I understand the thin line of political correctness that Obama and his campaign walk. But realistically, I'm a lot more concerned in the immediate future about the possibility of a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran than on Obama not taking a more assertive campaign stance on behalf of Muslims.

This must be the joy of the republican dogs that feed from the left over crumbs of Bush and Cheney. Condy please let them have frosted rice crumbs for dessert.

Muslim Outreach Director? I must be dreaming.

This is a ridiculous game of guilt-by-association. Sounds like Asbahi did the right thing, and it sounds like the Imam in question had not done anything nefarious.

When we silence the voices of even moderate Muslims because they seem to have a speck of "dirt" on them, the only voices we will hear are extremist Muslims.

Axis of Evil = Iraq Iran North Korea
Axis of Greed = Bush Cheney McCain

Get real losers...

LA Times:
"Barack Obama needs a break, so on Friday he's heading to Hawaii for a week-long family vacation. Good timing, because much of the public apparently needs a rest from him."

Just proves his poor judgement - or Asbahi isn't the same person Obama used to know!

Bill Clinton is going to be coming back to burn Obama for calling him a racist, just you watch.

Hope he gets him good, and that John Edwards turns out to be the Democrats' nominee.

"Obama has consistently stood behind his mistakes and changed them."

You mean, had to admit his incompetence when he gets caught in a lie?

"Instead of attempting to steamroll others who disagree with his point of view he has been thoughtful enough to add context and clarity."

You mean, backpeddles and doubletalks hoping to get out of yet another jam with the least damage?

"Our strength has always been our diversity. Now we fear it."

Yes diversity is wonderful. The problem arises when one group or another chooses to isolate themselves in the belief that their culture, religion or whatever is more important than the common good of the country.

God bless America, the country of haters. We used to be great. Not so much anymore. There are many Muslims in this country who are patriotic, hard-working, tax-paying, ethical, moral people with the same rights as you. Blind hatred diminishes us. It does not make us stronger. Our strength has always been our diversity. Now we fear it.

I can't believe this.

You can attempt to vet anyone but there is always going to be some bit of information that is left out whether it be ties to some fundamentalist idealogue or something worse.

The amusing thing is that Obama has consistently stood behind his mistakes and changed them. Instead of attempting to steamroll others who disagree with his point of view he has been thoughtful enough to add context and clarity, when needed, to his decisions.

A lot of people may be turned off by a man who can seemingly change his position in midstream to do what is right. But doesn't the Lord tell us to correct ourselves when we are wrong?

It seems Obama will not FLOP on anything to get votes or raise his POLLS.

Remember he told illegal aliens in California they should be able to get American drivers license. Obama knew darn well these same people were going to vote even though legally they are not allowed

This is positively ridiculous.

1) ISNA is the largest Muslim-American organization in the country. It is, by every measure, a moderate, pragmatic group.

2) Countless governmental officials have collaborated and attended ISNA gatherings.

3) Mr. Asbahi resigned the moment he found out one of the board members had controversial views. If I'm not mistaken, Obama served on a board with a known terrorist and did not resign.

This is nothing more than a xenophobic, discriminatory, guilt-by-association success.

So when Obama and his campaign are not busy suggesting that Mr. McCain and President Bill Clinton are racists, they're hiring extremists to work for their campaign. shame. shame. WOW "change you can be outraged by" alright!

Bill Clinton is going to be coming back to burn Obama for calling him a racist, just you watch. That's what happens when a campaign goes around as "holier than thou" and then calls anyone with a contest racists.

WE NEED A PRESIDENT, NOT A MOVIE STAR!! GO MCCAIN!!!

Great Investigative Reporting. Obama's is tagged with another association, like his reverend friends and Rezko. What are the Legal ramifications for Obama? Has he been implicated in any of these dealings? With a few short months until the election, the Vetting of Obama must go full steam ahead. We apparently are just seeing the tip of the iceberg.

This further erodes the Democrat agenda. McCain is ahead in several polls despite his age and lack of support from the Republican base. In a year when the Republican should be far behind, McCain is doing remarkably well.

"The Big Tent" is the major problem for the Democrates.

I know of no one who can be all things to all people.

It seems no matter what Party one looks at the middle class, average American is left holding the bag.

There is no cure. Who wants to advise such a phony

Whatever you do is to pander, and deceive voters.

Another controversial close associate of Obama.

No, no, no.... He was only a volunteer, so said the Phony's other "volunteer" advisers.

When you look up pandering, phoniness, elitism, arrogance, you'll find Obama. This is what happens when you have no substance and no values. This is also what happens when you can't disclose what your real values are to the public for fear they will be so outraged, there would be a revolt. In that case, you have to adopt some phony values and you need to be advised how to display those phony values by hiring a consultant. The DNC has really painted itself into a corner now. Everyday, there is something new, something that amazes you about this so-called rock-star.

Obama may be in a Catch-22. One would think for a position as sensitive and incendiary as this can become in such a season, the campaign would vette this guy down to his toothpick collection. On the other hand, that very activity can look like bias against the Muslims and be used to charge him with... The R Word (don't want to invoke Obama's Law).

So in one of those karmic twists, he gets caught in the same chinese fingerpuzzle trap his campaign sets for others.

How many outreach positions are there in his campaign?

Senator Obama seems to have lots of trouble deciding who it is safe to be around. Just goes to prove his superior judgment.

Thanks for reporting this. Another controversial close associate of Obama.
