Hey Obama ~ "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive"
Obama Apology to Muslim Women Orchestrated by Muslim U.S. House Rep.(Keith Ellison)
An apology issued by Barack Obama to two Muslim women booted from the front lines of a public appearance by the Democratic presidential candidate last week was orchestrated by Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress.
Multiple congressional sources confirm that it was Ellison, D-Minn., who confronted Obama over the issue during a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus.
Obama called the women to apologize after two volunteers with the campaign removed the women from the stage area behind the location where Obama would be speaking. The volunteers allegedly told the women it was because they were wearing traditional Muslim scarves.
Sources told FOX News that it was Ellison who raised the issue of the alleged impropriety with Obama and provided the prospective nominee with the women’s phone numbers.
One key lawmaker who was present described the exchange between Obama and Ellison as “cordial” but “direct.”
Another source familiar with the exchange added that many members of the CBC supported Ellison and said “it was an issue that needed to be addressed.
However, congressional sources indicated that Ellison’s exchange with Obama was so intense that CBC Chairwoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., had to intervene and attempted to gavel down Ellison.
In conversations with other media outlets, Ellison has been critical of Obama campaign efforts to distance the candidate from Islam. Ellison has also intimated that the campaign has cancelled campaign events because of the potential of linking Obama with him, the most-senior Muslim in the federal government.
LOL then there is this!
Muslim Voters Detect a Snub From Obama
As Senator Barack Obama courted voters in Iowa last December, Representative Keith Ellison, the country’s first Muslim congressman, stepped forward eagerly to help.
Mr. Ellison ...volunteered to speak on Mr. Obama’s behalf at a mosque in Cedar Rapids, one of the nation’s oldest Muslim enclaves. But before the rally could take place, aides to Mr. Obama asked Mr. Ellison to cancel the trip because it might stir controversy. Another aide appeared at Mr. Ellison’s Washington office to explain.
“I will never forget the quote,” Mr. Ellison said, leaning forward in his chair as he recalled the aide’s words. “He said, ‘We have a very tightly wrapped message.’ ”
When Mr. Obama began his presidential campaign, Muslim Americans from California to Virginia responded with enthusiasm, seeing him as a long-awaited champion of civil liberties, religious tolerance and diplomacy in foreign affairs. But more than a year later, many say, he has not returned their embrace.
While the senator has visited churches and synagogues, he has yet to appear at a single mosque.
Muslim and Arab-American organizations have tried repeatedly to arrange meetings with Mr. Obama, but officials with those groups say their invitations — unlike those of their Jewish and Christian counterparts — have been ignored. Last week, two Muslim women wearing head scarves were barred by campaign volunteers from appearing behind Mr. Obama at a rally in Detroit.
In interviews, Muslim political and civic leaders said they understood that their support for Mr. Obama could be a problem for him at a time when some Americans are deeply suspicious of Muslims. Yet those leaders nonetheless expressed disappointment and even anger at the distance that Mr. Obama has kept from them.
“This is the ‘hope campaign,’ this is the ‘change campaign,’ ” said Mr. Ellison, Democrat of Minnesota. Muslims are frustrated, he added, that “they have not been fully engaged in it.”
...on a new section of his Web site, he classifies the claim that he is Muslim as a “smear.”
“A lot of us are waiting for him to say that there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim, by the way,” Mr. Ellison said
Some Muslim supporters of Mr. Obama seem to ricochet between dejection and optimism. Minha Husaini, a public health consultant in her 30s who is working for the Obama campaign in Philadelphia, lights up like a swooning teenager when she talks about his promise for change.
“He gives me hope,” Ms. Husaini said in an interview last month, shortly before she joined the campaign on a fellowship. But she sighed when the conversation turned to his denials of being Muslim, “as if it’s something bad,” she said.
Wild Thing's comment........
Wherever there are Muslims, there are also the elements of chaos, anarchy and destruction. The core of the campaign is the introduction of communism to our system of government. The message is tightly wrapped because it's hidden and tagged "Do Not Open until Jan 2009".
LOL Keith Ellison just might get thrown under the bus with the others. heh heh
About the women that Obama offended:
"The two Muslim women are pro-radical Muslim activists. Hebba Aref, was an official of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), in charge of proselytizing. The Chicago Tribune identified the MSA as part of the American manifestation of the Sunni terrorist group, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen--The Muslim Brotherhood. Aref served on the executive board of the University of Michigan-Dearborn's MSA, which demanded and obtained tax-funded Muslim foot baths at that university,
Shimaa Abdelfadeel, the other woman allegedly excluded by the Obama campaign, was chair of SAFE, a University of Michigan-Ann Arbor group that hosted the 2002 Divestment Conference against Israel at which "Annihilate the Jews!" was chanted and Islamic Jihad founder Sami Al-Arian was keynote speaker. She's the author of vehement anti-Israel propaganda. "

It lets you know where Ellison stands when issues concern Muslims.

Maybe the muzzies will bicker among themselves as I don't know if even two muzzies can get along together. It sure seems like they are all activists of one sort or another.
This could also be a well thought out ploy to make Obama appear less of a muslim than his background would indicate. His religious background, as well as his racism and business delings will become more of an issue to voters as November approaches. Obama needs to hide, cover up or distance himself from a lot of baggage.

This incident with the two pro-terrorist radical Muslim women and support by Keith Ellison is just one more example of the well planned and financed incidious invasion to take over and make the United States part of a radical and Islamic Caliphate.
To quote Barack Hussein Obama, "Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers,"
Does a Muslim nation mean that it will be OK to mutilate women, kidnap, torture, behead, and blowup people under a Sharia law tolerant Obama administration and Justice Department?
Obama: We are no longer a Christian Nation

John, Ditto that!
And the more Muslims that get in office I think the more complaining from them we will be hearing. AUGH!

BobF, yes your right, he sure has made it very clear where his loyalities exist.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 24, 2008 07:28 PM
Les, your right and I wish Nicholas and I could get through to a couple of his nephews about this. He talks to them about it a lot and they just don't want to believe it.
Thank you so much for the link to the video. He is totally disgusting.

Cheryl, fingers crossed here, I sure hope so.

Tom yes he sure does have a lot of baggage. And he keeps stirring the pot with it too.
I think all those women fainting and the way they were worshipping so much got to his head too. He has not been humble about any of it. yuk

It seems like Obama is either throwing some white dude under the Bus or apologising for some stupid remark or action.
But one thing perfectly clear, he will do nothing about the high price of gas, and will tax everybody to the point of starvation. He has no clue how this country works and why.

Mark, you are so right and I am really concerned with those things he will do.
