Thread: Sneaky Politics, Or Is Obama Trying To....

hide something?
Why would he be afraid for these muslim women to be in a photo with him? What else is he hiding?

Obama camp apologizes for hijab incident at Detroit rally, defends commitment to diversity

You have to be fair Migi e! It's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Obviously you don't want to give ammunition to your opponents and your own people will likely give you a pass so the choice of what to do from a strategy standpoint is pretty clear. So that's exactly what he did.

Last thing Obama wants now is for AIPAC to see him with terrorists standing beside him.

Your objectivity is shining through here.

"..campaigns often pick and choose who will stand behind a candidate at major public appearances such as rallies, and that attempts are made to balance the diversity of those appearing in the background. "

Obviously a mistake which was apologized for, and the apology was accepted. Not a sign of him hiding something sinister and spooky.

Aren't thoise women Americans? If he's afraid to be seen with a couple of head scarfed women, how could he handle the job of C-n-C or even just being POTUS.

I don't claim to be objective, not with presidential candidates.

Proof again. Barrack H. Obama is just another run of the mill politician. Heck, if Obama can't communicate with and control his people at a simple campain rally.....

I live in this area (Detroit) and we have one of the highest concentrations (if not the highest) Middle Eastern population (Dearborn) in the U.S. He is a coward for allowing his campaign to do this. At every turn he proves that he does not transcend race. At the start of the primary season I was impressed at how great he handled himself and how he never brought up the fact he was black (the evil white man keeping him down). Throughout all the scandals questioning his love for the country including his church and wife. He now has the balls to say "no no you are not good enough for my campaign." The dumb tools he excluded are still going to vote for him though as they said to a local reporter here. His campaign gave an apology but they are asking for one to come from Obama directly. Good luck. I bet he will have a televised meeting so he can look like the uniter we can all see he is not. I feel dumb for ever liking the guy and thinking he would be good for the country. Anyone paying any attention to this guy (Obama) and still going to vote for him is a moron. The evil white half of him must be taking over. LOL:sarcasm:

So The Arabs Chaldean's and the other Middle Eastern people here are terrorists?.. Oh that was a joke. Where were you aiming that?.. Most politicians would love to have a muslim woman or two behind them at a speech. This makes no sense to me.
