LOL That’s what I was thinking.
I understand Sikhs are okay and basically on our side. It was just his proximity to the Muslim gal on the plane that bothered me. My initial "read" on him was that he was okay, and by the way, no offense meant to any Sikhs. Sorry if I offended any.
STATEMENT OF TIMOTHY J. HEALY DIRECTOR TERRORIST SCREENING CENTER ...
Statement of Timothy J. Healy. Director. Terrorist Screening Center. Before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on December 9, 2009.
Coming back early - to shore up sinking poll numbers.
The little people’s children return to school tomorrow. Royals can return when they wish...
when do his kids need to be back for school? i live in NoVA suburbs of DC and have two kids in private school. one kid’s going back tomorrow and another one going back on Weds. i’d think it prudent that the Obams girls get back, adjust to the jet lag and get ready to go back to school, whether he’s president or not!
“President Obama is cutting his vacation short and will return to Washington Monday, a day earlier than planned.”
What a guy.
Barack “James Earl Carter” Obama must be seeing something bad in the latest polls.
That why I said no offense intended. I fully understand why you were fearful and on guard - we all must be.
I’ve met many people, unlike you, who do believe that Sikh’s are Muslims and are scared to death to be around them.
My college roommate was Hindu and I was warmly embarrassed by her large, extended family, some who were Sikh. They are to this day some of the nicest, hardest working, wonderful people I know. She still lives in the DC area, as does much of her family, and has told me of her Sikh family members being threatened, harassed or flat out called terrorists. Her family is originally from Bangladesh and have seen first hand Muslims attacking non-Muslims even in an overwhelmingly Hindu country.
I think it’s important that we pay attention to the real enemy in our midsts and profile on our own. It is perfectly understandable why you were concerned and a damned good thing you were watching.
If it had not been for passengers, we would be mourning the death of almost 300 people on Christmas Eve. We can not depend on this government to keep us safe - we must remain vigilant. To do this, we need to know who to look for and who should be (outside of something obvious) safe.
Imagine if Bush had done that.
Appreciate the feedback. Everyone should know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims. Vigilance is every Patriots News Year's Resolution!
How magnanimous of Zero to give up nothing for the sake of the “security” of our nation.
Frankly, I would rather he stay in Hawaii on the golf course and in the gym. He would do as much good there and probably not near as much damage as he will back in DC.
Don't forget the community of BO and MO staffers that faithfully accompany them...Right down to the Fashion Designer's Wardrobe Manager's Emergency Seamstress's Assistant.
You are both a scholar and a gentleman.
