The New PLO? (Palestinians Love Obama)
Timeblog ^ | 11-4-08 | Scott MacLeod

Will Palestinians have a "friend" in the White House if Barack Obama is elected president on Tuesday? Many supporters of the Palestinians think so or at least hope so. My advice to them: Don't hold your breath. Get too close to a Palestinian, or voice too much sympathy for his cause, it seems, and you're apt to be smeared as someone who is little better than a terrorist yourself. If you're an American politician whose middle name is Hussein, you really could be in for a hard time.

Most of the evidence that Obama is an Arab lover, despite his strongly pro-Israel campaign statements, centers on some of his associations and comments pre-dating his successful run for the U.S. Senate four years ago. He became friends and occasionally dined with Rashid Khalidi, a University of Chicago professor whose family is of Jerusalem origin. In 2003, Obama attended a farewell party for Khalidi, who was moving to Columbia University in New York. As the LA Times wrote about the event in a report last April:

A better friend than any since Carter, or Bush I, but he won't be overtly pro-palestinian. As a Senator, of course

I don't think he's an ‘arab lover’. He doesn't seem to have much use for people or things that deviate from his deviant self promotion. A very dangerous man to any value oriented human being. They love him because he clearly detests this country. The enemy of my enemy is my friend so to speak.

The most vile, anti-American, international Islamic and communist tyrants look upon Obama & his Leftist cabal as someone they could deal with, in more ways than one. That should warn any voter to vote against the Dem's so-called 'chosen one'.

An ominous cloud will descend on America if the voters make the wrong decision, which shall effect all of us.
