The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report reported this week that Asbahi briefly served on the board of Allied Assets Advisors Fund, a registered trust, with Jamal Said, an imam at a mosque in Illinois.

Critics assert that Said is a member of Hamas, the political party and militias that control Gaza, and which are listed as a terrorist group by both the United States and the European Union.

The Muslim Brotherhood and a number of national Muslim groups also were named as unindicted co-conspirators in a recent federal prosecution in Texas, which ended in a mistrial.

Funny isn't it, that Obama hardly knows his pastor of 20 years, and numerous others who have been a political embarrassment to him.

Let's not forget the guy who helped him buy his house that he lives in now?

Never in my memory has any politician had to run away from his friends and influences like Barack.

Yet, he has a chance to win; nearly half the population will vote for him because he has a (D) next to his name.

He walks away from them now, but, I guaran-damn-tee you, they will be hanging around the oval office, in sweats and tee shirts, if he is elected. Just like Billy Perv Boy.

They will soil the Oval Office with their feces and urine bombs.

You are not the AmericanMade1776 I have known.

Seriously, Barack has never made a statement he couldn't say he didn't make.

I kept waiting for him to say, “This is not the Michelle Obama I have known.” Guess his handlers headed that one off at the pass.

I pray America's voters wake up.
