    A quasi-Muslim President may betray Israel in his proposed Muslim Summit. Why not? No one is wise enough to predict whether such a radical change in policy would be beneficial or detrimental to humanity. Perhaps it is like moderate global warming, there will be new winners and new losers. Of course, civilization will be off course when it is over-heated; we may all have to jump flame.

    I am sure of one thing...

    On SUNDAY??
    OH No She Didn't.??

    SHAME ON YOU HOLLARY !!!
    For Todays (SUNDAY) Sacrelege, blasphemy, and Atheism..
    Mocking the Christian belief in Salvation.
    Poking fun and Sarcasm at Believing that Heaven can Open up the sky to those who believe. Laughing at the notion that there are Celestial Angelic Choirs in the Heavens, Hurling sarcasm at those who would believe they can hear. Laughing at Hope.. Laughing at GOD..!!!
    Hillary..Can you say Moses?
    Did he not part the Red Sea and free his people from the Pharoh?
    Who are you Hillary Rodham to tell us all not to believe that all things are possible through our Lord Our God?
    It is dillusional to Hope The Lord God would ever extend his ever redeeming, ever forgiving ever everlasting Love to Our Nation? To America and her United States Citizens??
    Its dillusional On SUNDAY to think this could be possible ?? 2/24/08
    One thing is certain..It won't be possible under your leadership. You are a non-believer.
    I suppose that deceased Dallas Police Officers family should abandon any HOPE for his Salvation. His life was lost performing a difficult and demanding job too. There aint NO GOD coming for him either. Right Hillary??
    May God have mercy on your immortal soul Hillary Rodham.
    SHAME ON YOU HILLARY RODHAM
    The Lord works in mysterious ways....
    And today God exposed your true dark soul to the world. And In so doing, the Nation and the World will be better served.

    The main belief of The Nation of Islam and its followers is that there is no God but Allah. However, they redefine "Allah" by saying "who came in the person of W. D. Fard." Fard founded the Nation of Islam that was then adopted by Elijah Muhammad. Their teachings are heretical by traditional Islamic standards which abhor the deification of any person, or the anthropomorphization of God.

    The official beliefs of the Nation of Islam have been outlined in books, documents, and articles published by the organization as well as speeches by Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and other ministers. These include inflammatory statements as well as the pejorative use of the term ???white devils??? to refer to white people.

    Obama's FRIEND, Louis Farrahkan's theory of white people:
    Farrakhan made several controversial statements about race, including "White people are potential humans ??? they haven't evolved yet" in March 2000, [29] and "Murder and lying comes easy for white people" in 1994. [34] He has also alluded to a figure called "Yacub" (or "Jacob") with reference to whites. According to Farrakhan's mentor, Elijah Muhammad, blacks were "born righteous and turned to unrighteousness," while the white race was "made unrighteous by the god who made them (Mr. Yacub)."

    Here is how Obama's FRIEND. Louis Farahkhan stands on issues. Also, please note where he gets his medical treatment......CUBA.
    At an NOI-sponsored event in February 2006, Farrakhan provoked accusations of antisemitism in Illinois by stating that "These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality, [and] Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government [on the war in Iraq]" [28]

    Farrakhan announced that he is seriously ill in a September 11, 2006 letter to his staff, Nation of Islam members and supporters. The letter, published on September 11, 2006 in The Final Call newspaper, said that doctors in Cuba discovered an ulcer.

  • Posted By: lillea @ 02/25/2008 5:56:45 PM

    Obama has been endorsed by Louis Farrakhan - "Change" for whites, Christians, Jews and gays could mean "Fear" if Obama is elected. For those of you who are too young to know who Louis Farrahkhan is:

    Louis Farrakhan(born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933), is the acting head of the Nation of Islam (NOI) as the National Representative of Elijah Muhammad. He is also well-known as an advocate for African American interests and a critic of American society. [1][2][3]

    Farrakhan has been the center of much controversy, and critics have, among other things, said that some of his views and comments have been racist, homophobic, and antisemitic.[4]

    How about Colin Powell or Gen Shinzecki (sp) as Sec Def. You put into play the Powell doctrine of overwhelming force or bring "I told you so" to the campaign trail.

    • Posted By: Evax @ 02/25/2008 5:49:03 PM

      Colin Powell lied on the matter of Iraq's WMD at the UN in front of billions of eyes around the globe, a big blow to U.S. credibility and his own reputation. Although he blamed others for feeding him with fake information, his naivety to take the bait disqualified him as a leader. Rule #1 for a leader: When there is a problem, it is your problem.

    John McCain is a seasoned soldier and American War Hero, he is the prototype for what Americans would want in a president with integrity. Unfortunately, he should have run for president 30 years ago, his bitterness and spite will alter his judgement in how he fights for the presidency. Sadly, he will lose, and heopefully never consider the presidency again.
    Hilary Clinton is nothing more than an opportunist who braved the shame and dis-loyalty of her husband, simply to be in the position that she currently holds-which makes me not trust her. Say what you will, in the end this will go down in history, and we are all witnesses...

  • Posted By: rosiedays @ 02/25/2008 5:33:26 PM

    If Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic candidate, I'll be voting Republican. If Michael bloomberg/Al Gore run, they would get my vote. I really hate McCain, but he would be the better choice between Obama and McCain.

  • Posted By: lillea @ 02/25/2008 4:12:42 PM

    Obama must get past the Tony Rezko corruption trial before he can even hope to be a serious presidental contender. Hillary needs to stay in until the Tony Rezko trial is over.
    Please read the following articles from the Chicago newspapers.

      Oh please, if you cared about corruption you would be calling for investigation into these last seven years of unprecedented corruption and betrayal of the American values by the Bush administration.

  • Posted By: SBW27244 @ 02/25/2008 5:24:21 PM

    Brilliant.
    As I read his article, MSNBC "Hardball" is on this very subject: Does Obama have what it takes for the job of President? Is he as good as he says he is?
    Obama is getting more scrutiny by all of the media. No one wants to seem biased in his favor.
    I cannot believe that his campaign has not aready planned for life after March 4.

    It all comes down to one thing. Change!! We can shoose to have the same mentality as the present Chief of Staff or we can have new blood in the White House. Afterall regardless of who wins it, without the help of Congress they all will struggle to have any type of success. Obama is as good a candidate as any out there on general knowlwdge alone. Again I revert back to George Bush and where this country is at the present time. It cannot get any worse on the economic level, diplomaitc level, socially in America or over seas than it is right now and to place McCain and Bush clone would be heading down the wrong road. We will never get out of the Middle East with Mccain in there. Not to say that it has to be an overnight thing. How many more have to die looking for something that was the main reason we went to Iraq anyway. Has anyone seen any weapons of mass destruction? This is the republican mentality. How many have to die for a lie?

    Such much for the first woman president.................an unattractive woman, with a shrill voice, hard-edge, but with experience and a bedrock of ideas is going to lose because.......................a young, attractive man comes along with pretty words, sugar-coated speeches and woes all the ladies.

    Obama is smooth - tell the girls what they want to hear, it does not matter if it is the same, repacked "change" politicians have been promising forever.

      JJJJJ - clearly you're an old, white Republican. Too bad. Most women are too bright to go Republican this time and are clearly thinking through their choices. And, just for your info, Obama has a majority of the white males 35-65. Poor you - way out of step with the world today.

  • Posted By: Mattberg @ 02/25/2008 3:11:27 PM

    Thanks for all your help putting that loser Carter in office, Obama is cut from the same liberal cloth. If I wanted to vote for the best preacher or public speaker who sounds like a baptist minister, I would vote for Jesse Jackson. He's better than Obama by a mile. However, what we are voting for is a president that has the proper experience, who is patriotic to a fault and who undertands our Judeo-Christian values. Sounds like McCain to me, he was tortured and didn't break, get it demmies?

    • Posted By: wgoin @ 02/25/2008 5:18:58 PM

      to Mattberg: Oh yeah, McCain is just what we need. He wants to continue an unnecessary war that has already cost us 4,000 lives and over $460 billion. And, when questioned about the economy - which Bush tanked - he said, "I don't really know much about the economy." Great choice for Commander in Chief - NOT!

    • Posted By: swdemocratforchange @ 02/25/2008 5:10:05 PM

      Actually, he did break being tortured!!! Most people do.....

    • Posted By: changen2008 @ 02/25/2008 3:20:22 PM

      Get over yourself, why did you compare him to Jesse Jackson!!

      • Posted By: emailmgibson @ 02/25/2008 3:49:40 PM

        Yes, but McCain will break, this November. Once he???s gets in the Ring with Obama on???on-one. Let???s be honest here, There is no way you would vote for Jesse Jackson any faster than I would vote for Rush Limbaugh; give me a break. You obviously have not been reading the Democratic election results either because you would see that Barack has not only far surpassed Jackson???s Bid results, but has set statistical records that far exceed anything that McCain or Mitt or your Baptist preacher Huckabee have accomplished. You???ve been watching and supporting George W. Bush too long. So you must have noticed where his so called "Patriotism" has gotten us. Obama has Integrity, Competence and Charisma. Bush needs English Lessons and McCain has been following Bush around like a wet puppy. Of course Obama opponents want to focus on his Charisma because it allows them to ???temporarily??? side set his substance. I am confident that he will continue to win with his current game plan. This Article ??? Building a Team??? makes some solid suggestions that if followed, will surely push him over the top to win in November. Once President I truly believe that he will become to Democrats what Regan was to the Republicans. And, we???ll be looking at you Conservatives in our rear view mirror.

        PS: I was Pissed when Regan Won, so Get ready to be Pissed???You deserve it.

    I AGREE with Hamilton Jordan and have said, for several weeks, that Sen. Obama should start making it clear who he would like to include in his administration.. It would make a strong statement about his judgment, as well as advise voters of the strength of experience and wisdom he will have around him.

  • Posted By: mathist @ 02/25/2008 5:13:41 PM

    So Jordan's big suggestion is for BO to start naming his cabinet and ceding authority to them before he even has the nomination of his own party secured? That is really dumb. There is a reason that presidential candidates put all that off as long as possible. And never ever say that you'll give sweeping authority to someone else. Presidents need to demonstrate that they are fully in command and they are the leader. Who are we voting for anyway? BO or Bloomberg?

  • Posted By: chenstep @ 02/25/2008 5:03:16 PM

    The title of this article says it all, how Obama could fight McCain. Newsweek will never publish an article asking how McCain could fight obama. Obama is the home team, McCain is the opposition. Let there be no doubt which side Newsweek is on. Obama campaign machine is the most brilliant operation in your lifetime? Come on. Obama is the creation of the media. It's no coincidence that Newsweek and Times magazine put him on the cover more than a year ago at the same time for no other reason than to promote him as a presidential candidate. Face it, he's an empty suit. Newsweek is in for a rude awakening in November.

  • Posted By: davidblue @ 02/25/2008 4:46:21 PM

    Bill Clinton was also in a Turban as a sign of respect to where he visited.

    So what is the beef about BO wearing it. This attack has failed again.

    Circulate this picture, send it to CNN, FOX, MNSBC, all MSM!!!
