Obama in India: I Might Not be President of the United States were it not for Ghandi – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | November 8, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 11/08/2010 7:23:07 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of President Obama speaking in India today, where he praised the influence of Mahatma Ghandi. Obama recounted how Ghandi had influenced Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. to resist discrimination with non-violence. Obama went further and said:

“Throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world. . . . .I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today as president of the United States had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world.”

His father’s proxy hatred for the British is palpable.

Sorry for the misspellings of “Gandhi.” I got the “h” in the wrong spot.

I’m sure that’s one of the most kicked around statements he used as a street agitator in C-town

Dumbo: ..I can thank Ghandi
local homie: wat?

It’s all about HIM. What a narcissist!
He also praised India for being able to stave off hunger through the “green revolution” of the 60s and 70s. Of course, he didn’t mention that the Father of the Green Revolution was an American scientist, Norman Borlaug, who developed the seeds that Asians planted to feed their starving countries. Never a good word for American creativity and ingenuity from this alien.

Gandhi was just a non-believing, half-hearted follower of Jesus. What Jesus’ disciples makes Gandhi’s “works” look like a 3 year old’s temper tantrum. Which Obama would know if he would read the Bible he professes to believe.

". . . to be the change we seek in the world. . . . "

Change = Socialism

We shall fight him on the Hill, we shall fight him in the streets, we shall fight him on the internet. We shall never surrender our Sacred Republic!

Also did you all hear him keep saying me and Michelle instead of Michell and I?

He also said that Indian has given so much to the world including the number zero.
I burst out laughing when he said that.

The man is an idiot.
They gave us the number zero, FFS.
This man is the president due to the ignorant American idol voters and this biased corrupt media .

I nearly fell off my chair laughing at him.

WOW, Yep India has given us so much, he also said that 300 million Indian Americans.

Lets call this what it is, A vacation right after the election to change the issues and talk in the media and to see these countries on our dime.
