Sharp, yet excellent observation.

If obama were a man of character, he would defend having Muslims stand behind him. After all, the U.S. is about freedom of religion, and the leftists are always quick to point out that not all Muslims are terrorists. Heh, looks like their new hero disagrees with them.

What this also shows is that obama is a calculating politician. Not any different from any other calculating politician.

So much for change.

Obama keeps proving to the voters that he will betray anybody and everybody just to achieve his own personal goals. With all whom he's thrown under it to date, obama needs to get a bigger bus.

Obama didn't restrict their sitting behind him, a couple of zealous vollenteers ask them not toi sit there.

But in some posts, Obama was actually doing the seating asignments and he, Barack Obama, had them sit somewhere else.

Oh that damn Obama. < :-)

Ah yes, it's the volunteers who were "zealots". Such is the pattern. Nothing was ever Carter's or Clinton's fault either. There was always some underling to take the heat.

You want to see zealots? Take a closer look at these poor "victimized" Muslim women: http://boortz.com/nuze/200806/06202008.html#truth

I bet the volunteers didn't know who these women were. Like I said they were zealous volunteers who screwed up.

I still haven't seen any evidence where Barack escorted them to different seats.

Matter of fact the brother of one of the women said he understood that the volunteers were probably trying to keep the women from sitting there because of all the accusations that Obama was Muslim, not that that is bad. Posters on this site are more pissed off then the principals in this story.

But please continue with the 'Obama ripped them from those seats and forced them to sit somewhere else.'

These poor "victomized" Muslim women. Oh I love that sentence. < :-)

If you're talking about my posts, then the above is the only time you've been accurate. Although, as usual, you left off part of the sentence.

I have not claimed that 'Obama ripped them from those seats and forced them to sit somewhere else.'

So which is it? Were the volunteers zealots or just being cautious?

Such is the problem with trying to be all things to all people. You just end up ticking off everybody, just at different times.

It's better to just be who you really are. Shame Obama (being a typical DNC candidate) can't do that and get elected at the same time.

Oh yes you folks do. Without saying he actually took them by the arm and moved them.

Both I guess, but I'm sure you disagree.

I'm waiting to see Muslims in McCain's crowds from now on. His townhall meetings. Let's start counting how many are in his crowds.

I'm sure the Muslims feel safe in his crowds. < :-)

Going to workout. Gripe, I'll be back. < :-)

Hahahaha... we say it without saying it? Oh my. Well that explains a lot.

As I expected, this dust-up didn't last long (Obama's got the Hamas vote already locked up, after all):

Obama Apologizes to Muslim Women

I smell cabinet positions in the making!

Two Muslim women who are activists and work for Islamic front groups? You're right, Republicans don't really care about them. Never said we did, either. Must've been another fantasy of yours.

Great link about the "victimized" Muslim women, WhiteHawk. Wonder what their Visa status is. Hopefully, they will be deported to any Muslim country of their choosing so, heh, they can denouce that nation's political way of doing things as openly as they are allowed to do in the U.S.

See, last post above proves my point. < :-)

If only Hilary was still running against Obama, you just know that she would have had only Muslim women in full garb sitting behind her at her next televised appearance.

He should have let them sit there, after he checked what was in their backpacks
