>>Within 5 years’ time Obama’s statue will be unveiled in Nairobi and Mecca.<<

And the inside center base of my toilet (requires some Mythbusters’ engineering but I’ll figure it out).

And our politicians will still have their Muslim kneepads strapped on. I really don’t see any sense of urgency among today’s politician in halting the Muslim menace in our country.

Balancing budgets, setting a debt limit and getting the economy off the ground are all well and fine, but if we have to live under sharia law, all these praiseworthy efforts will be in vain and for nought.

Also this year in Budapest...

BUDAPEST, Hungary (KABC) — Elvis Presley has been named an honorary citizen of Budapest for his support of Hungary’s anti-Soviet revolution of 1996.

Budapet’s city council made the announcement Wednesday, nearly a month after municipal authorities named a small park after The King. The park name was chosen by voting on the city website.

During his last appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Jan. 6, 1957, Elvis sang a gospel standard, “Peace in the Valley,” which Sullivan said reflected the singer’s concern for Hungarians’ plight after the short-lived uprising. Sullivan said Elvis wanted people to make donations to be sent to Hungary.
