AP Asks Democratic Frontrunner About “Obama bin Laden”
At the close of Q and A at an Associated Press luncheon in Washington, DC, AP chairman Dean SIngleton skipped over a question on what’s becoming known as “bitter-gate” in favor of asking Illinois Senator Barack Obama what he surely thought would be a less controversial question on Iraq.
Would the senator be willing to shift a substantial number of troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, asked Singleton, where the Taliban has been gaining strength — and “Obama bin Laden” is still at large.
The room was quiet - as the crowd contemplated whether they’d in fact heard what they thought they heard. But Obama, apparently, heard the same thing. After a pause and a smile, he said “I think that was OSAMA bin Laden.”
A red-faced Singleton put his hands to his head. “If I did that, I’m so sorry!” he said.
Obama assured Singleton that the verbal misfire was a-ok with him. “This is part of the exercise that I’ve been going through over the last 15 months,” he said, breaking into a grin. “Which is why it’s pretty impressive I’m still standing here.” The professionally-stoic crowd of journalists gave Obama a round of applause.

From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
If that is true…that in and of itself should make everyone run. Combine that with all his associations Wright, Farakhan, Odinga, Obonga, Rezco, Ayers and you have someone who has an agenda, but is not telling it.
And no Christian would ever say that…another proof that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Look throughout history…that puny guy from Germany that caused the holocaust…he smoothly came in with all his smooth talk…people cheering and supporting…then it happened. The Germans were blinded, looks to me that much of America is too…can’t even believe he is still in the race.
Attention Warriors-CLING TO Are The New Buzzwords!!

Analyzing the media coverage, citizen statements, bloggers, etc, it is clear that CLING TO (religion, guns, values) are The New Buzzwords. Those words appear to be more offensive to the folks than the Bitter comments. Just a thought as we go forth in our efforts.

If those supporting Obama really love this country…they need to seriously step back and take a breath and research his votes and his associations especially Odinga.
Look at his family and what they have done for this country…he is only 1/2 American. He and his family didn’t fight for civil rights…what did they do??? Hid cousin Odinga is currently burning black Christians to death in Kenya…somehow the media won’t report this???
Those that hate America…Go ahead and vote for him…you want to destroy us…BUT the rest of you, shame on you for being so ignorant!!!

no he got it right…..it’s obama bin laden or bombyomama for short
This appeared in U.S. News & Wolrd Report under opinions:
In any case, Americans who don’t like the opportunities they have where they are can move elsewhere, and many have. What the census data tell us is that not many people have been moving out of Pennsylvania in this decade—there has been a lot less domestic outflow there than there has been from the coastal metropolises (like the San Francisco Bay Area), where there has been massive immigrant inflow, along with massive domestic outflow. What Obama is showing us here is not sensitivity to the deprivations of people in Pennsylvania—which he, as a native of multiracial Hawaii and a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, knows little about first hand—but a form of liberal snobbery, which, as I have written, has been part of American politics for more than 40 years. This attitude goes back even farther to Adlai Stevenson’s quip that if a majority of thinking people supported him, that would be enough because “I need a majority.” The new face from Illinois, articulate and attractive to many people, fell short of a majority. Will that be the fate of Obama, articulate and attractive to many people but condescendingly dismissive of many of the voters he needs to win? Let’s see.
Articulate??? I beg to differ…that is a media bill of goods…he twitches and says ahhh alot if asked a serious ? which rarely happens. He is just a snake waiting to slither in with his agenda, just like Adolph did. Remember all the speeches and cheering during those times…watch out…do your homework…Obama is trouble!!!
I am surprised at the blog comments.
Many people across the US have agreed with his “bitter” comments and have applauded him for being truthful. It clearly fits his message of HOPE
My interpretation of Obama’s comments in regard to guns and religion is quite simple. And he explained it this way, but the press didn’t pick up on it. He said that people turn to their culture for comfort and support. They cling to those things they know best. (Doesn’t that make sense?) At Grantham, PA he said that he is a devout Christian and that when times are toughest he relies more on this faith (than when things are easy). He did not say anything against guns. He did not elaborate as much on his gun comment. But whether he meant that they would use guns to protect themselves or for sport, he did not say anything against the 2nd Amendment and people’s right to bear arms at all. What he said should not be taken as demeaning or condescending.
lol that reporter got it right! He sees through Osama I mean Obama,lmao 2 funny .

The first part of my comments did not show up. I must have hit the wrong key, and should have proofread it.
My first thought about this article was how many times we don’t express ourselves very well. I have seen bloggers do a reply quickly to clarify a prior comment, apologize for leaving out a word, or spelling a word wrong. How is this different?
Sometimes a blogger even apologizes for what they said and change their minds. It is all a part of our communication process.
Off the Record…..Obama
——————————————————————————–
Here is a terrific piece on Baracks blunder.
http://article.nationalreview.com/pr…RmZGI0ZWI3YzU=
In our newpaper today it states that Raila Odinga was appointed Prime Minister in Kenyan.
Kibaki agreed in February to share power after a dispute over who won Kenya’s December presidential election that triggered weeks of unrest and killed
more than 1000 people and uprooted 300,000 from their homes. I read somewhere
that Obama supported Odinga in this effort and lots of Christians were killed. Has this
been vetted???
Odinga is Obama’s cousin
Yes Odinga is Obama’s cousin and Obama supports him. Obama visited with him on his last trip to Kenya…they are radical Muslims and he has burned them alive.
On utube there is a video of Dick Morris and Odinga…Dick was his campaign manager when Odinga ran for the presidency in Kenya.
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
If that is true…that in and of itself should make everyone run. Combine that with all his associations Wright, Farakhan, Odinga, Obonga, Rezco, Ayers and you have someone who has an agenda, but is not telling it.
And no Christian would ever say that…another proof that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

What newspaper finally issued a statement about Odinga???
you got obama bin laden and odinga bin laden and osama bin laden, could they be all the same? a three in one terrorist. three for the price of one. all those bin laden’s are rich. byw, let’s kill your christian no good for nothin neighbor.
Obama supporters ask yourself this question Obama has the support of racist people Wright, Meeks,Farrican, his wife has made statements that are questionably racist in her thesis Obama has said typical white people called a guy in his book a cracker and he supported and endorsed Dorthy Tillman who believes Americans should pay people money who have ties to slaves
(slavery reparations) now I think that is a racist do you? dems need to win this election and if Obama gets the nod then they will not win and we will stay the course of high taxes no new jobs high gas prices high food cost tax breaks for oil company’s and so on the current election does not revolve around just you or me it involves all of America and what is best for this country and that is not Obama look at his supporters and voting record and friends and family and the people he supports everything you pick on about Hillary before you judge her his past is alot worse
what he said is not what he later said when he had to cover his butt.
The thing is, Obama said these statements at a “closed to the press” private meeting in California to a
bunch of rich Obama fund raisers.
Obama hadn’t a clue that one person had a recorder and was taping him.
Obama true colors just came through.
The puzzle that is Barack Obama is slowly being put together…
Rezco and the amount of money contributed to Obama.
Obama’s friend U.S. Terrorist William Ayers and Dorn.
Racist Rev Wright “God Dam” American” “America is responsible for the 9-11 attacks & America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” “America gave the aides virus to the black people” “Praises Louise Farrakhan who is the leader of the Nation of Islam”
Rev. Moss, Obama’s new Pastor who is a carbon copy of Wright.
Obama’s all black anti American church he has attended for 20 years.
The New Black Panther Party
Al Sharpton
Michelle Obama, “America is mean, I have never in my adult life been proud to be an American”
Obama ( last night) I want to bring Christianity and Islam together”
Obama…typical white people comment
OBama: People in small towns cling to their guns and religion, they are racists agains people who aren’t like them, they are against immigrants, because they ar bitter.
Obama: I never heard my Pastor say those things…..I wasn’t there when some of those things were said……..Yes I was there when some of things were said.
Obama’s Pastor traveled to Libia with Louis Farrakhan and met with Terrorsist Khadaffi
Obama wants to meet with terrorists, now he is sending Carter to meet with Hamas.
Obama’s friend and supporter Louis Farrakhan who hates white people, Jewish people and I quote from Rev Wright, ” garlic noses” Italians.
Rev Wright told Obama, When the Jews find out I went to Libia with Farrakhan, their support of you will dry up like a snowball in hell.
Barrack Hussain Obama…..this is the man some of you want to be President of the United States of America??
There is a Muslim website that says…
MUSLIMS FOR OBAMA.
I’ll try to find the link
Obama didn’t do anything about his comment until forced to we correct or clarify ourselves. Please save me the details of how Obama is just misspeaking he said this in a closed fundraiser and thought none outside room would know.
Obama is the first to jump on Hillary when she misspeaks.

Cone’s 1969 opus, Black Theology and Black Power, in which he helpfully explains:
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community…. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
Black liberation theology, as Wright has elaborated, is closely aligned with the “liberation theology” of Nicaragua during the seventies and eighties: i.e., the doctrine that catalyzed Marxist revolutionaries. It spurred an unabashedly Leftist movement that emphasized, you guessed it, the crying need for “change” — as George Russell aptly described it in a 2001 Time magazine analysis, “social change in the process of spiritual improvement.”
National Review…From the article the company he keeps…
RASHID KHALIDI
In the interim, Ayers and Obama had teamed up for three years on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago charitable organization. Together, they voted to donate $75,000 of the largesse they controlled to the Arab American Action Network. The AAAN was co-founded by Rashid Khalidi, a longtime supporter of Palestinian “resistance” attacks against Israel, which he openly regards as a racist, apartheid state. Despite considerable evidence to the contrary, Khalidi peremptorily denies having been a PLO operative or having directed its official press agency for six years (from 1976 to 1982). There can be no gainsaying, though, that he was an influential apologist for Yasser Arafat, the terror master who spawned two Intifadas and ordered the murder of American diplomats.
…
They didn’t faze Barack Obama, though. He was front and center with Ayers and Dohrn at a farewell bash when Khalidi left Chicago for New York. It was only right. Khalidi, after all, had hosted a fundraiser for Obama in 2000, when the latter launched an unsuccessful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. And so it goes. A few weeks ago, Khalidi told worldnetdaily.com he supports Obama’s presidential run “because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause,” and because Obama has promised negotiations with Iran.
Fron National Review…The Company He Keeps
with the company obama keeps, couldn’t blame the reporter for the slip. i’m quite sure a lot of people have a nagging feeling about obama but are policing their thoughts and mouths. it just is not politically correct to doubt obama. you will be labelled then shipped out.
Wow, there are so many of you that are feeling the same as I am about Obama. You talk about being let down. This man came offerring a golden carrot and we followed blindly. Not any more, this many is a traitor to America and should not be in the White House.
The article was in the Daily Panagraph, Bloomington, Il page A7
yeah brenda…really happened to me….at first i was angry, now i see obombyomama as joke. but he is a serious threat to our country’s well being. we don’t know very much about him, and i dont see the majority of americans entrusting him with our vote. it’s one thing to have half a congress thats kooky, but not the president.
Patricia, The difference is the people on this blog are not running for president, and are more polite than Obama. He never says he is sorry for anything. Another thing is Obama was raised by wealthy people and never had to cling to anything, except his crack pipe. If I won the lottery, I would still go to church, own guns, have hound dogs, drive a pick-up trucks, drink beer from a can, or whatever Obama thinks is redneck.People don`t live like this because they are bitter or feel a need to turn to something. They live like this because they want to. Rich or poor some people are just plain people. I am.
THE AMERICAN PRESS SHOULD HAVE ASKED OBAMA ABOUT HIS TEST TRIAL IN A HIGHLY CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECURITY SIMULATION..
DO YOU THINK GEOFF DAVIS’S COMMENT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED MORE CLOSELY?
Geoff Davis made the comments at a state party dinner Saturday.
After referring to Obama as a “snake-oil salesman,” he added that he had recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with the Illinois senator.
“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” said Davis. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”
WOW……….If Obama had participated in a highly classified national security simulation and he
failed miserably, we need to know about his level of competence and analytical abilities; and I
would suggest that Mr. Davis reference that boy finger means Obama is probably to young and
still a puerile, some men never grow up, we all know the type we call them the Peter Pan
syndrome
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN AD ASKING DOES OBAMA HAVE THE COMPETENCE AND THE BALLS TO BE OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF…. I THINK NOT
HILLARY R. CLINTON PRESIDENT OF AMERICA 2009-2012
Don’t know how many Fox viewers are like me, but I watch because I am mesmerised by their sheer gall. I loathe the mothers and would be nearly as aghast if they were pushing from the other side of the political divide.
Everything down to the most minute detail is framed to accentuate the positive about Republicans and the negative about Democrats, and it is all done with a straight face.
Look at the cynical way they choose their ‘house ni**ers’ to be the most strident rightist spokespeople. Not saying that these individuals are not genuine in their beliefs, but the fact that they are chosen primarily because they can communicate the stock messages from behind a black face must make them feel more than a little used and abused.
Even if, as they constantly allege, there is ‘left-wing bias’ in what they refer to as the mainstream media (I think fairness bias would be more accurate), it is no excuse whatsoever for Fox’s frontpeople to make their bias so screamingly obvious. You just should not see an interviewer nodding and agreeing with their subject, or asking patsy questions like ‘Does Barack really hate America or is he just unpatriotic?’
Goebbels would be proud of the ‘fair and balanced’ BS. I hope the ‘mainstream media’ is quietly building up a blacklist of Fox’s front-puppets and producers. These people have sold out on every journalistic principle there is - and should never be employed again.
In interviews, Mr. Obama was modest and careful, (In a rare slip, he told The Associated Press: “I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.”)
I watch fox because, I found it to be the one news channel that tells both sides..
Substance Abuse
A widely forwarded e-mail claims that Obama’s bills are more substantive and numerous than Clinton’s. Don’t believe it.

Obama says he doesn’t take money from oil companies. We say that’s a little too slick.

Think people… think…
Obama supporters complain about this site as their are so many negatives for Obama. We’ll that is because we cannot get a comment against Obama the ‘God’ to show up anywhere on other news outlet sites as they are heavily monitored to only post ‘pro-Obama’. So if you ‘Black Messiah’ supporters want only sensored comments go to another site and quit wasting our only space to speak up. This is not communist china yet. But if ‘Obama-nation’ is elected by the socialist liberal zealot zombies then we won’t even have this site to post on.
The Audacity of life”—————AUTHOR, BARRAK OBAMA
The book can be bought at amazon for 4 dollars and somthing, but I suggest you go to the libary or look it up online so you dont spend your money on his book.
Obama is a traitor to our America on this statement in his book that was published in November 2007.
“I will stand with the musliums should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” Obama’s words!!
Now how can we being Americans who were attacked by radical musliums on 9/11 vote for a man who said he is muslium, we know he has radical muslium ties in his fathers side of the family who he still supports. He refuses to honor or salute our Flag who thousands have died for …Shame on you Obama for calling yourself an American. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Holly. I will go buy that book.
But for the record, a lot of very awesome Americans are Muslim. In fact, most Mulsims are much more literate, temperate, and repsectful than their so-called “Christian” counterparts.
(I don’t like them becasue they’re Chauvinists, but there you go….my perrogative)
Back when I was your age, America was known for its freedom of religion. Even Muslims were considerd human.
So apparentlay you’re the un-American one. And shame on YOU.
