At a closed-door meeting late last month in Turin, Italy, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon blasted his top officials, accusing them of crippling the world body through a combination of self-interest, petty squabbling and egoism.

"We all know the U.N. is a huge bureaucracy," Ban told the assembled senior officials. "Coming here, 20 months ago, that prospect did not bother me. …

"Then I arrived in New York. There is bureaucracy, I discovered — and then there is the U.N."

..."We waste incredible amounts of time on largely meaningless matters."

..."We waste incredible amounts of time on largely meaningless matters."

Wake up, Ki-Moon - the American people have known this for YEARS!! Get the UN out of the US.

Obama’s Legislative Actions

Considering Obama’s Islamic connections, it is not surprising that he introduced a bill in Illinois called “Islamic Community Day” which proclaimed that November 1, 1997 would be the South Shore Islamic Community Center Day.
