White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has spent three days on the phone doing damage control with angry Democrats and urging them not to go public against the President, Democratic sources said.

Obama went ahead with the Ramadan dinner remarks even though his top political advisers had not reached a consensus on what he should do. Emanuel was one of the skeptics.

If the RATs got blindsided, it’s because they’re blind. Or stupid. (I know, it’s not really an either/or thing.)

Isn’t this the first time the United States has supported a cult?

Any Democrat who wants a chance of getting re-elected needs to distance himself from Obama. Based on their voting record it may already be too late, but this latest is probably the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

Oh, BS they didn’t know. They’re pissed because the public came out against it. If polls said otherwise, they’d be all over it, jumping for joy.

Heathens.

That would be nice if I could believe it. However, I am at the point now that I do not believe anything ANY Liberal says! Period!

The left is always pissed when “the veil” slips and reveals the truth about their beliefs.

They were only “blindsided” because they didn’t expect him to slip like that.

Maybe it should be mentioned that the basic principal of the Muslim "SO CALLED Religion" is total domination aka "Kill all the Christians and Jews".

It's a cult.
