Mideast leader: Obama a Muslim who studied in Islamic schools
Says Arab world campaign contributions ‘may enable him to win U.S. presidency’
JERUSALEM
Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.

“There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama,” said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country.

All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” continued Gadhafi. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

“We are hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs,” Gadhafi said.

Gadhafi went on to lament statements Obama made at a June 4 address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in which the presidential candidate stated if he is elected president, “Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.”
But it seems Gadhafi was not aware that the next day, during a CNN appearance, Obama explained he meant Jerusalem shouldn’t be physically divided with a partition and was not referring to the city remaining in exclusively Jewish hands.
Stated Gadhafi: “But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother [Obama], who is an American national, made statements (about Jerusalem) that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.
“We hope that this is merely an elections ‘clearance sale,’ as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie. As you know, this is the farce of elections – a person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him, and afterwards, when they say to him, ‘You promised this and that,’ he says: ‘No, this was just elections propaganda.’ This is the farce of democracy for you. He says: ‘This was propaganda, and you thought I was being serious. I was fooling you to get your votes.’
“Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda. Obama said he would turn Jerusalem into the eternal capital of the Israelis. This indicates that our brother Obama is ignorant of international politics, and is not familiar with the Middle East conflict,” Gadhafi said.
Gadhafi went on to express his hope if elected Obama will implement a “one state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, meaning Israel would be flooded with millions of Palestinian Arabs who would terminate the country’s Jewish nationality.
He said he was worried Obama may have a “black inferiority complex” whereby he may enact “white men” policies to prove he is no different from “white” America.
“The thing we fear most is that the black man suffers from an inferiority complex. This is dangerous. If our brother Obama feels that because he is black he doesn’t have the right to rule America, this would be a disaster, because such a feeling would make him act whiter than the white, and go to an extreme in his persecution and degradation of the blacks.
“We say to him: Brother, the whites and blacks in America are equal. They are all immigrants. America belongs neither to the whites nor to the blacks. America belongs to its original inhabitants, the Indians. Both the whites and the blacks immigrated to America, and so they are equal, and Obama has the right to hold his head high, and say: ‘I am a partner in America. This is my land as much as it is yours. If it is not my land, it is not yours either. It is the land of the Indians. You are immigrants, and so are we.'”
Obama was ‘quite religious in Islam’
Obama repeatedly has denied he is a Muslim. His campaign site states: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.”
But as WND has reported, public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim.
Obama’s campaign several times has wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the senator’s childhood faith.
Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque “something the presidential candidate said he never did,” Obama’s campaign released a statement explaining the senator “has never been a practicing Muslim.”
In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
The Times’ Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer.
The first few lines of the call to prayer state:
Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet …

Wild Thing’s comment…………
I have posted about Gadhafi calling him a Muslim before, but this one adds in about the money coming in to Obama for hsi campaign from ARABS!
Obama campaign refused to release specifics of $100 million plus received in “small amounts” from foreign contributors.
And then there is all of this going on with Obama as well.
Several reports now of CREDIT CARD FRAUD in connection with Obama Donations, blatant, outright ILLEGAL OVERSEAS DONATIONS, etc,etc.
Obama is running the most CORRUPT Campaign ever run in AMERICAN HISTORY, and our media is willfully ignoring it.

….Thank you Mark for sending thia to me.

Obama Said To Want African-American Senate Successor Appointed
Chicago Sun-Times
Sneed hears Barack Obama wants an African American to fill his U.S. Senate seat if he wins the presidency.
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. wants the spot.
That places Gov. Blagojevich, who is charged with selecting Obama’s replacement, in a tricky place.
• To wit: Sneed hears Gov. Blago, who dismisses reports of a federal probe, wants to run for office again — and believes replacing Barack with an African American is a smart political move. But he is being urged to select state Sen. Donne Trotter, a close friend of Obama mentor/Senate President Emil Jones, to fill the spot.
• Another dilemma: Sneed is also told U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who is this/close to Obama and was a major Obama supporter from the get-go, is pitching to have state veteran affairs chief Tammy Duckworth fill Obama’s spot, and had the ear of Gov. Blago until recently. Blago is also a big Duckworth fan.

Wild Thing’s comment……….
Can you imagine the fury that would surround the McCain campaign if John McCain was referenced as wanting a white American selected to take his seat by Arizona’s governor if he were elected?

Sarah Palin talks about her personal faith and how unfortunate that faith has been mocked this election.

Wild Thing’s comment………
This is how it should be, a natural and sincere and authentic person running for office. Speaking from her heart about her Faith. Thank God for Sarah Palin. Thank God that John McCain chose Sarah for his VP. Prayers for all of them.

First let’s take a look back and see what ole Powell said about Obama:
September 15, 2008
nbc

“Colin Powell, the first African-American Secretary of State, said this afternoon that electing an African-American US president would be “electrifying” for the world, but he said he still remains undecided between McCain and Obama.”

And now for today, October 19th, 2008
Colin Powell endorses Obama
cnn
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat’s “ability to inspire” and the “inclusive nature of his campaign.” Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he is voting for Barack Obama.
Powell, a retired U.S. general and a Republican, was once seen as a possible presidential candidate himself.
Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president.
He also said he was disappointed with some of McCain’s campaign tactics, such as bringing up Obama’s ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
“I think that’s inappropriate. I understand what politics is about — I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for,” he said.
Powell said he has some concerns about the direction of the Republican Party, adding that it has “moved more to the right than I would like to see it.”
Obama called Powell earlier Sunday and thanked him for his endorsement, communications director Robert Gibbs said.
In their 10-minute conversation, Obama said he looked forward to taking advantage of Powell’s advice in the next two weeks and hopefully over the next four years, Gibbs said.

I haven’t trusted Colin Powell for a long time , in fact since Bush was running against Gore and Powell made the announcement he would he thrilled to be in either of their cabinets, so this isn’t really a surprise! BUT what a jerk! No loyalty whatsoever! He would be NOTHING if it hadn’t been for Republicans! What a POS!
And I remember when Bush won that election, and Bush put Powell in his cabinet, Powell made a statement in his press conference all about how he was for affirmative action. That made it pretty clear he was more a democrat then anything else.
Powell has also described the Iraq war a failure, declared in front of an Arab audience that the US is losing the war and called the run-up of the war based on lies. He is an abysmal failure and traitor of the level of Wesley Clark. Puke.
“Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president.”
What in the world is he on. Sarah Palin doesn’t have enough experience, but Obama does…?
And by saying electing a black president would be “electrifying” he’s told everyone race is more important to him than the state of the country.
A man who fought Communists in Vietnam is now supporting and endorsing a Communist. Amazing.
Colin Powell the prince of unearned “gravitas.”
John McCain is a war hero who endured hell in order to serve the American people. He did some things I never can forgive him for but compared to Obama, McCain/Palin get my vote.
Obama, on the other hand, is a self serving politician who has never sacrificed for anyone other than himself. He has a radical background, and is associated with people who hate our great country. For Powell to be upset with McCain because he questioned Obama’s associations is truly perplexing. How can we NOT question Obama’s association with Ayers, Wright, and all of the rest of his extremist friends? If Obama were applying for a low level government job, he would need character witnesses. Why should we ask any less of a man who wants to be CIC?
And, as far as Palin “not being experienced”. Well, she has more experience than Obama does. What Powell really means is that Sarah is too pro-life and too conservative for him to like her.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the more I think of him saying bringing up Ayers is “inappropriate”. The angrier I get.

On Tour with Our Country Deserves Better
Sarah Smile — by Lloyd Marcus
Beautiful and inspirational moment at “Stop Obama Tour” as McCain/Palin supporters show their love for America.

Lloyd Marcus, http://www.LloydMarcus.net, sings a song he wrote about Sarah Palin at Albuquerque Rally supporting John McCain/Palin.

Fred Thompson on his latest visit to Florida Saturday October 18th, 2008

“A Barack Obama presidency would “change the face of this country” with higher taxes and liberal judicial picks. “There will be no stop-gap. Any amount of spending they want, any amount of taxes they want to pass,” he said. “Do you really think if they have the ability and power when they go to Washington they’re going to only raise taxes on 5 percent of the American people?”

And from John McCain:

“The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn’t recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Any American who gets within close proximity to Obama should ask a tough question. How many ordinary Americans can Obama’s Goon Squad smear and still smell like roses to the majority of voters?

Sarah Palin’s Brother Tells All About Her In Exclusive Interview

Great interview by her brother. Sounds like a nice guy. I really like these people.

U.S. News and World Report
You’re kidding me. Barack Obama actually told that Joe the Plumber guy that he wants to “spread the wealth around.” What, did Obama just get done reading the Wikipedia entry on Huey “Share the Wealth” Long or something? Was he somehow channeling that left-wing populist from the Depression? Talk about playing into the most extreme stereotype of your party, that it is infested with socialists.

A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama’s. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.

Now, I tend to quickly dismiss that kind of talk as way over the top. My working assumption is that Obama is firmly within the mainstream of Democratic politics. But if he is as free with that sort of redistributive philosophy in private as he was on the campaign trail this week, I have no doubt that U of C professor really does figure him as a radical. And after last night’s debate, a few more Americans might think that way, too. McCain’s best line: “Now, of all times in America, we need to cut people’s taxes. We need to encourage business, create jobs, not spread the wealth around.”
And by the way, I just noticed that the IBD/TIPP poll, the most accurate in 2004, has McCain down by just 3 points. If the contest is perceived by the voters as a contest between a wealth redistributor and a wealth creator, then it could be a long night come Nov. 4.

And this article:
Investors’ Real Fear: A Socialist Tsunami
INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
The Crash: “Why has the market dropped so much?” everyone asks. What is it about the specter of our first socialist president and the end of capitalism as we know it that they don’t understand?
The freeze-up of the financial system — and government’s seeming inability to thaw it out — are a main concern, no doubt. But more people are also starting to look across the valley, as they say, at what’s in store once this crisis passes.
And right now it looks like the U.S., which built the mightiest, most prosperous economy the world has ever known, is about to turn its back on the free-enterprise system that made it all possible.
It isn’t only that the most anti-capitalist politician ever nominated by a major party is favored to take the White House. It’s that he’ll also have a filibuster-proof Congress led by politicians who are almost as liberal.
Throw in a media establishment dedicated to the implementation of a liberal agenda, and the smothering of dissent wherever it arises, and it’s no wonder panic has set in.
What is that agenda? It starts with a tax system right out of Marx: A massive redistribution of income — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need — all in the name of “neighborliness,” “patriotism,” “fairness” and “justice.”
It continues with a call for a new world order that turns its back on free trade, has no problem with government controlling the means of production, imposes global taxes to support continents where our interests are negligible, signs on to climate treaties that will sap billions more in U.S. productivity and wealth, and institutes an authoritarian health care system that will strip Americans’ freedoms and run up costs.
All the while, it ensures that nothing — absolutely nothing — will be done to secure a sufficient, terror-proof supply of our economic lifeblood — oil — a resource we’ll need much more of in the years ahead.
The businesses that create jobs and generate wealth are already discounting the future based on what they know about Obama’s plans to raise income, capital gains, dividend and payroll taxes, and his various other economy-crippling policies. Which helps explain why world stock markets have been so topsy-turvy.
But don’t take our word for it. One hundred economists, five Nobel winners among them, have signed a letter noting just that:

“The prospect of such tax-rate increases in 2010 is already a drag on the economy,” they wrote, noting that the potential of higher taxes in the next year or two is reducing hiring and investment.

It was “misguided tax hikes and protectionism, enacted when the U.S. economy was weak in the early 1930s,” the economists remind us, that “greatly increased the severity of the Great Depression.”

We can’t afford to repeat these grave errors.
Yet much of the electorate is determined to vote for the candidate most likely to make them. If he wins, what we consider to be a crisis in today’s economy will be a routine affair in tomorrow’s.

This is an excellent article!!! I am glad there are people speaking out about Obama and his agenda. Now I jsut wish these same people would get on the media shows and blast away.

Michelle Bachmann Hammers Obama for “Anti-American” Associations
October 17, 2008

Video of Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann appearing on MSNBC’s “Hardball” with Chris Matthews. Matthews confronts Bachmann with McCain Campaign “robo calls” that are being placed in key states which hits Obama for his association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers. During her response, Bachmann hammered Obama for his pattern of relationships with “anti-American” people like Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers.

Wild Thing’s comment……….
Wow! She was great. She needs to keep speaking out and asking the questions the MSM won’t ask. She said every single thing needing to be said about the anti-American sentiments by Obama’s associates and she reminded about his wife finally being proud of her country. She didn’t waiver once .
I’ve just been surfing around YOUTUBE for Michele Bachmann videos. She’s GOT to be GREAT, because those commie libs REALLY hate her. They hate her more than Bush, Palin and Reagan combined!
Right after that exchange, Matthews had on Lynn Sweet, Washington D.C. bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times and Jonathan Martin of Politico.com. All three were ripping into Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann for her unAmerican charges. Sweet said she didn’t know what she was talking about. Matthews even called it a return to 1950`s McCarthyism.
The left remains unhinged over anyone who says anything negative against the Messiah.

The head of the Republican party in Indiana, said that there were 25,000 at the rally in Indiana.

After watching Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin from afar for months, nearly 25,000 Hoosiers got their first glimpse of the stylish and feisty vice presidential nominee at the Verizon Wireless Music Center on a perfect fall Friday night.
And she didn’t disappoint.

“Indiana, soon the choice will be yours to make, and are you ready to help carry this state to victory? Are you ready to make John McCain the next president of the United States of America? Are you ready to send us to Washington, D.C., to shake things up?” she asked.

She said the choice for Hoosiers is between a politician who puts his faith in government and a leader who puts his faith in the citizens.

“It’s the choice between a politician who wants to raise taxes and redistribute your hard-earned money according to his priorities, versus a true reformer who wants to lower taxes and create jobs and get this economy going,” Palin said.

It was her first visit to Indiana as GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain tries to hold onto a state Republicans usually can afford to take for granted.
But his challenger, Democrat Sen. Barack Obama, has been to Indiana six times since the May primary in addition to his wife and running mate stumping here as well. He has also blanketed the state with TV ads.

“My fellow Republicans, enough is enough,” said Murray Clark, chairman of the Indiana Republican Party. “Yes, we have been outspent in Indiana. We have been outspent across the nation, but guess what? I don’t care how much money he pours into this negative campaign, the thing that is going to win this election is people like you.”

The atmosphere was more rock concert than political rally, as students from Ball State University painted “Maverick” on their bare chests and supporters bought pretzels and nachos from the concession stands.

Country music artist Aaron Tippin entertained the crowd with a few songs, including “Kiss This,” which he dedicated to Obama.
The gates opened more than five hours before the program began and a line of people snaked as far as one could see, filing into the venue. All 6,000 pavilion seats were filled and thousands more perched on the lawn.

Once Palin took the stage, no one in the crowd sat down for the length of her 30-minute speech.

Palin’s speech included a rebuke for Obama’s ties to ACORN, a national reform-minded community organization under investigation in a dozen states including Indiana for possible voter registration fraud.
She said a front group for ACORN received money from the Obama campaign and he represented the organization as a lawyer earlier in his career.

“We have to talk about this. It is not mean-spirited and it is not negative campaigning when we talk about someone’s record,” Palin said. “Americans are entitled to answers before Election Day. We need a little straight talk. These associations are important and they go to the heart of someone’s judgment and truthfulness.

“On Election Day you are going to be asked to choose between a candidate who will not disavow a group committing voter fraud and a leader who will not tolerate it.”

Palin also invoked “Joe the plumber” from Ohio who took center stage during this week’s presidential debate, when McCain used him as an example of a citizen who could be hurt by Obama’s plan to raise taxes on wealthy Americans.
The man met Obama in his neighborhood last week and asked about the plan. During his response, the Democrat presidential candidate alluded to the need to spread the wealth around, to help struggling Americans.

“You’ve really got to hand it to Joe the Plumber. Somehow he succeeded in getting Barack Obama to finally state his true intentions,” Palin said. “He wants the government to take more of your money and decide how best to redistribute it. Joe said it sounded kind of like socialism.

“I call it real bad medicine for an ailing economy.”
