Wild Thing's comment........
This administration and Obama are reaching out to every connection to the enemy of our country there is. And this is another example of how they do not care at all about our security, protecting the citizerns of our country and instead think it is acceptable to associate with the enemy and friends of the enemy.
And check out the list of the other confirmed speakers, in the last paragraph.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Mark, I think some people are waking up
I really do. I have met three people at
the gym that have said they made a huge
mistake. They voted for Obama because
they thought he would make government more
tranparent and honest. They didn't like
some things about him but they wanted to
give him a chance. sheesh, the touchie
feelie types, give the guy a chance voters.
But now they are kicking themselves big
time.
