WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is disputing speculation that President Barack Obama is avoiding an Indian temple so he won‘t have to wear a head covering that could fan misconceptions he’s a Muslim.
Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy national security adviser, says a stop at India‘s Golden Temple didn’t end up fitting into the schedule for Obama’s four-country Asia trip that starts next week.
White House advance teams visited the Sikh temple, a popular tourist stop in India. When it didn’t end up on the schedule, rumors surfaced that Obama wanted to avoid being seen with a head covering connected with a non-Christian religion.
When asked Wednesday if that theory was wrong, Rhodes said that it was.
Obama is Christian but polls show some in the U.S. think he’s Muslim.

What do YOU know about Islam! Al-Mahdi will be the only king of this world, and only for a short three and a half years, after which time, Jesus, King of kings will come down from heaven and kick his sorry @ss all the way to the lake of fire.
Al-Mahdi will be Arab, fully versed in the Qur’an, deeply religious, a man of war and even more evil than Obama. Obama’ charisma dissolves in the absence of a teleprompter. He is a corrupt, dumb, hedonistic wimp who swoons at the mere thought of war. Al-Mahdi will not be a puppet in the hands of powerful men. The evil one himself will empower him.
Obama, king of the world, ha!, in his dreams. He may destroy America, but only because America went astray.

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 9:35pmObama’s own words say it all, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” I can’t imagine any other president past (or I hope in the future) that would ever make such a statement and identify himself as an American. Of course Obama is neither presidential nor much of an American based on the past twenty months. He’s an impostor, a Muslim sympathizer and as presidential as Hugo Chavez. He also represents just how bad the Democrat Party has slipped into the gutter, and I used to be one many moons ago!

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 9:32pmOur great country was founded by and for the citizens of the thirteen colonies. It was designed to insure that a central government was controlled and limited by representatives of those citizens. It was given a limited amount of power, with many checks and balances, to secure the rights and freedoms for its citizens. They were making sure that an American Government would and could not become as Britian had. England enacted laws and taxes on their American subjects, but without allowing the colonies a say in their government. Ignoring the will of the people of America, they bullied and took away what limited rights they had and tried to force them to comply. Sound familiar? Yes, we don’t have to look far across the Atlantic at a despotic leader, we have only to look at the Oval Office in Washington, D. C. and to those whom we had entrusted the liberties of the people and the country. Our representatives, Senate and the House, are there to represent the will of the people. Instead, they have consistently lied to their constituents, both during campaigns and when in office. They have consistently robbed the American people, not only of their money, but also by stealing their liberties, little by little. The incumbent office holders allow themselves to be above the law, they allow themselves to steal by back-room corrupt deals and the like. They ignore the very people who put them in office, they even resort to passing laws, under cover of darkness. They hide laws and corrupt deals in the midst of thousand of pages of laws. This has always been a trick of unethical lawyers. Their mindset is to bog down any opposition by inudating them with mountains of paperwork. Then, they laugh and call the people stupid and ignorant, or worse! No doubt, I could go on and on. Their lack of character, morals and ethics makes them unfit to be employed anywhere, let alone entrusted with the security, freedom, and economic growth of this great country. They have taken your freedom to worship, especially targeting Christianity. They have tried to rewrite the American history, to further their agendas, just like the Moslems continue to do with Israel.
Soon after deciding what sort of Government America was to become, that very question was asked of Benjamin Franklin. In reply Franklin said, “A Republic….if we can keep it”. This is a question that should be upon the lips of all true American patriots. If we can’t or more correctly, if we won’t, then we don’t deserve it. The choice is up to us, the American people, and the answer should be and must be yes we will!
You’re probably asking how do we insure that we will keep this nation a free Republic. Oh, we voted for only those who promised no more taxes, no more spending, etc., etc. Of course they all were proven to be liars again (or should I have said they were just not quite forthcoming or perhaps they were a little disingenuious?). Then we did the “best of the two evils” choice. This was no different than the “Magician’s Choice” trick! We now know that there is no difference between Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to which is telling the truth. Neither has the best interest of America at heart, probably not even in mind! Their goal is simply to acquire power, money, more power and more money while doing and saying anything to remain in office.
So what is the answer? They don’t listen when the people, overwhelmingly, protest and tries to voice their opposition. So the American people need to get their UNDIVIDED attention. How? WE THE PEOPLE, must vote any and all incumbents out of office. It doesn’t matter if they are better than most. If they haven’t been part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. THEY MUST KNOW AND WE MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE RUN BY ROUGUE LAWYERS AND OPPORTUNISTS, PROGRESSIVES (AKA SOCIALISTS), ETC. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN-DAY CARPETBAGGERS OR WANNA-BE DICTATORS. THEY MUST BE EDUCATED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE VOTED OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY LEARN THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN THEIR OWN VERISON OF CRIME, INC.
AND THOSE THAT ARE ELECTED TO OFFICE, BUT CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WILL SOON LEARN THEY WILL HAVE ONLY ONE TERM IN OFFICE.
We, the people, need to lobby our newly elected representatives to enact new laws to insure ALL our freedoms, our security, etc. Enact laws that ethical or criminal behavior of representatives will be prosecuted swiftly and severly, with no possibility of any pardon…not by a state Governor nor by a President! Enact laws or amendments to limit a President to one term only, ensuring that any damage to our country will not be as damaging as is obvious with this Government. Further limit the terms of our Representatives, both in the Senate and the House. Imperative to limit the term of all Supreme Court Justices to no more than an eight year term and make an amendment that the justices can no longer re-interpret the Constitution, but uphold the laws as it was written and intended by the original framers.
So, the bottom line is this: unless the American people get the undivided attention of those in government…when you and your family members are homeless and hungry or at the very least jobless…remember, you have only yourselves to blame.
THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE THAT YOUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVES WILL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENTS IS VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!! FROM THAT POINT ON, EACH REPRESENTATIVE MUST KNOW WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

This should happen, no way should bad justices be allowed to remain on the bench for life. Would be nice to be able to dump justices who for only political reasons give a weird opinion or vote. They should only consider how a law relates to the Constitution, nothing else, then we wouldn’t be having all the 5-4 decisions….stupid political hacks many, instead of Supreme Court Justices.

He is a Marxist, and therefore an atheist, but he is also a Muslim. Islam is a bloodline religion. You are born a Muslim via the paternal bloodline, and you remain one until death — or else. Obama was born a Muslim, and although he is not a practicing Muslim that we know of — he IS considered a Muslim by the Muslim world, and he shows Islam the respect it is due by one of its own. Moreover, he had a Muslim education in his early childhood.
If you do some research on this topic, you will discover that it is not uncommon for Muslims in Africa to be Marxists as well. The Arab Middle East is different, because Islam there is politically dominant, and does not tolerate the growth of any other ideology.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 12:10amHere is an answer to part of your question: You just gotta love this!!!!
Report Post »Since Obama is expected to arrive in the afternoon on November 6, and will travel by road to the Taj Mahal Hotel, the entire stretch from airport to the hotel will be under heavy security. The officer said, “There will be no vehicular movement on Western Express Highway at that time. Traffic on roads leading up to the highway will also be stopped. All buildings flanking the entire stretch will be sanitised. However, there is no threat from the snipers as the President will travel in a bullet-proof car with 4.5-inch thick sheets, which are impenetrable for any gun.”
Obama’s personal security staff itself will be huge, and it has already started making its own arrangements in Mumbai. “A team of secret service agents has already arrived, and has surveyed the areas of his stay and the roads and places on his itinerary,” the officer said.
To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked.
The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.”
Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels, patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said.
The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.
If we could find someone to buy this “President” for what he thinks he is worth, we could pay off the National Debt!!!!!

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 6:50pmOK guys
Here is a history lesson, but do your own research anyway.
But before that lesson let me remind the 2 constants of this regime :
A. Obama will always find an opportunity to insult Americans , specially while on foreign lands, and then use it to the fullest extent possible
B. Obama is never too respectable to anyone who is a victim of islam and islamic terror
Now the lesson :
1 Sikhism was founded inIndia TO FIGHT AGAINST MUSLIMS, who used to kill HINDUS.
2. Golden Temple is a shrine to Sikhism
3. Sikhs suffered the brunt of muslim barbarism .
4. Americans know the difference between Sikhs and muslims. Those who don’t can easily do their own research and come to the same conclusion: i e Sikhs are not muslims. AT ALL
By spinning Obama’s reluctance to pay respects to Sikhism at their most important shrine, Obama wants to achieve 2 things :
A. He can avoid going to a temple
B. He can make American people look like a bunch of paranoid idiots , in the eyes of the world
Y’all really think he cares about what Americans feel or think ?
Y’all really think he cares about the consequences of what he does ?
He is just finding a way to avoid going to a place of worship of a religion which faught against muslims and suffered massive casualties.
The humiliating Americans part is an added bonus.
If a family over the generations had killed members of my family for generations, as a matter of religious dictat , would that family like to attend a bbq at my house today ??
