Obama Stands with Muslims as He Promised
The American Thinker ^ | May 06, 2010 | Kyle-Anne Shiver

Now that Barack Obama is well into his presidency, it's clear that he is keeping at least one promise he made. He is standing with the Muslims.

In his chapter on "Race" in The Audacity of Hope, then-Senator Obama devoted a section to his post-9/11 concerns over the treatment of Muslim Americans. He makes special mention of meetings he had with Arab- and Pakistani-Americans, drawing attention to the "urgent quality" these meetings had taken after the 9/11 attacks on the WTC.

"The stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their [Arab- and Pakistani-Americans'] sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Hell, I need specific assurances that my citizenship really means something. I need ID to work, I pay taxes, my representatives give my substance away to freeloaders and try to give my vote to felons. As Howie Carr says, after the bugle plays a Mexican tune, "I wanna be an illegal alien!".

Chit: When the Congress votes for a bill that 65% of Americans were against we ALL need assurances that our citizenship means something.
