Watch Obama's face as Bergdahl's dad invoked Allah in Arabic
The American Thinker ^ | 6-3-14 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/03/2014 5:49:36 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

When Bob Bergdahl launched in Arabic, invoking Allah while standing next to President Obama in the White House Rose Garden, a number of Americans were startled. Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer, a strategic policy and intelligence expert with a focus on Middle East, national defense, WMD, and counterterrorism issues, emailed her friend Allen West:

“What none of these media is reporting is that the father’s (SGT Bowe Bergdahl’s father Bob) first words at the WH were in Arabic – those words were “bism allah alrahman alraheem” – which means “in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful” – these are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur’an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th) – by uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam. There is no question but POTUS knows this.”

I am not knowledgeable enough to judge the claim of sanctifying the White House and claiming it for Islam, but I place a lot of stick in watching nonverbal cues, people’s quick reactions. And so, when our friends at iOwnTheWorld.com captured and enlarged President Obama’s reaction to Bergdahl’s invocation of Allah, it hit me hard.

Watch for yourself and see if it means anything to you.

That’s a very happy smile on his face, if I’m not mistaken. As to the significance of an utterance being a formal claim... that’s interesting, but I hadn’t heard it before.

That’s completely creepy. Obama absolutely grins when Bergdahl does this, then he clearly realizes that he’s sort of given it away and immediately straightens his face out again.

Wow. The Taliban have taken over the White House.

A while back, there was a video on youtube of baraq speaking about islam. He always refers to the Koran as the “holy Koran”. He speaks of features of islam with a near perfect Arabic accent. He appears very comfortable and familiar with islam. Don’t know if it still there, but just watching this thing was chilling as hell. Given that he slithered into office just 9 years after radical muslims murdered 3,000 Americans in New York. Rarely he has spoke his true thoughts, but when he stated that he would stand with islam, I believe him. His actions bear that out.

He’s a muzzie and he has been tearing this country down since and even before his presidency.

Of course Obama will not let the military bring desertion charges against this guy. He is an Obama “accomplishment.” Got him out of prisoner camp. Only had to give up FIVE heavy terrorists for a deserter. His own fellow soldiers called him a deserter. But no, Obama will tell the commanders to shut up. No charges. Leave him alone. Maybe give him a promotion if he wants to stay in today’s gay military.

I consider myself very good at reading expressions, inflections, and body language. I can only half agree. Obama is showing TWO emotions at the same time. First he seems pleased, then almost simultaneously realizing, this won’t play well, and “I wish he hadn’t done that”, (at least not so publically).

Maybe also aware that cameras are focused on him and he had to contain the glee...

Hmm, you all think that’s a smile? I would call it a grimace.

Wondering about the significance of the dad reminding him, “I am your father, bowe.”

My sons know who their parents are, and the only time I can remember reminding them was when they were very young and we thought they questioned our authority.

Before he deserted, he told his son to follow his conscience.
