"Muslim demands apology from Obama over seat snub" by Associated Press | June 19, 2008
DETROIT - Barack Obama's campaign apologized yesterday to a Muslim woman, who said she and another woman were refused seats directly behind him - and in front of TV cameras - at a rally because they wear headscarves.
Hebba Aref said yesterday that she and Shimaa Abdelfadeel were among 20,000 supporters who gathered to see Obama on Monday night at Joe Louis Arena when the groups they were with were separately invited by Obama campaign volunteers to sit behind the podium. But Aref said the volunteers then told the groups that women wearing hijabs, the traditional Muslim headscarves, would not be invited after all.
Aref, a 25-year-old lawyer, said a member of her group was told by a volunteer that she could not invite Aref because of "a sensitive political climate."
And we know who has CONTRIBUTED and CREATED that CLIMATE, don't we?
Sitting elsewhere, she said it was difficult to accept Obama's message of unity among races. "As he's saying it, I'm thinking, 'Well, wait a minute, I was obviously . . . profiled and discriminated against an hour ago.' "
Bill Burton, Obama spokesman, issued a statement saying such actions are "not the policy of the campaign."
"It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run. We sincerely apologize for this behavior," the statement read.
Aref said she wants a direct apology from Obama, as well as invitations to sit behind him at a campaign event.
Are they Zionist agitators, or? WTF?
"He needs to take the matter seriously and send a strong message against any kind of discrimination," Aref said.
And go up against the LOBBY?
Presidential campaigns routinely invite audience members they believe will enhance the image their candidate wants to convey on TV to stand behind the candidate at rallies.
Aref was born in the United States to Egyptian immigrants."Rather than apologize, Obama tugged harder on the Zionist co...
"Obama calls for Nuremberg-like trial if bin Laden is caught
Democrat Barack Obama said yesterday he would bring Osama bin Laden to justice in a way that wouldn't allow the Sept 11 mastermind to become a martyr.
"Here ya go! -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com
At a Washington news conference after huddling for the first time with a newly formed group of national security advisers, he acknowledged that bin Laden might not be taken alive, but suggested that if he is, the Nazi war crime trials at Nuremberg after World War II would be a good model.
Yeah, except you would be trying the WRONG GUY!
Try THESE GUYS instead!
"I think what would be important would be for us to do it in a way that allows the entire world to understand the murderous acts that he's engaged in and not to make him into a martyr and to assure that the United States government is abiding by the basic conventions that would strengthen our hand in the broader battle against terrorism," he said.
But don't tell them he was OUR TOOL!!!!
The advisers could end up in high posts if Obama is elected, as secretaries of defense or state, national security advisers, even a running mate.
The panel includes Eric Holder, a former deputy attorney general who is also helping Obama vet running mates; and Sam Nunn, a former senator and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and someone who could be on Obama's list for vice president.
The group also includes his existing advisers, plus three former high-ranking officials in Bill Clinton's administration who advised Hillary Clinton during the primaries: Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher - both former secretaries of state - and William Perry, a former secretary of defense.
Noooooo!
Not Madelaine "we think its worth it" Albright!!!
"The murder of an estimated 1.5 million children... Madeline Albright as being a “price worth paying“"
Not Bill "lets bomb Korea" Perry!
The Republican National Committee pointed out again that Obama hasn't been to Iraq for 892 days and counting, though he has pledged to tour the war-torn country before November.
"Taking pictures and shaking hands with a few hand-picked advisers is no substitute for a real briefing or a real understanding of how to keep Americans safe," an RNC spokeswoman said (Boston Globe June 19, 2008)."
Then how has George W. Bush been getting by the last eight years?
Faking it?!
And I'm left feeling hopeless after this piece, readers.
What good are DemocraPs (and Repuglicans for that matter) if they are going
to BUY and PROMOTE the 9/11 LIE?
