Jesse Jackson: Obama is "determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims"

jackson_obama.jpg
"Remember, Barack: To please Islam you must appease...to please Islam you must appease"

And Jackson apparently thinks that Obama will do so by abandoning Israel to the jihadist wolves. Will he also, as I have speculated, be ready to sacrifice the freedom of speech in his quest to build new friendly relations with Muslim nations?

"The O Jesse Knows: Jackson on Obama's America," by Amir Taheri in the New York Post, October 14 (thanks to all who sent this in):

PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week.

He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration."

The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

[...]

"Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss," Jackson says. "Barack will change that," because, as long as the Palestinians haven't seen justice, the Middle East will "remain a source of danger to us all."

"Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims," Jackson says. "Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith."

We live in a democracy. We'll get the government we deserve. If it's barack Obama, so be it.

Anyone who votes for Obama is a Nazi. That is no longer in any way an exaggeration. They literally de facto and by definition support wholeheartedly the annihilation of Israel:

http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2008/10/will-obama-meet-irans-pre-conditions.html

God, how is this not in the MSM? Sam got this story from Iran News Agency, which apparently can't afford a translation who can translate 'do' in simple constructions.

Absoultely horrifying. And he did his homework. Check out that list of advisors and their backgrounds. Eichmanns, Goebbels, all of them. Unreal. I honestly don't think I will be able to face anyone in my family who votes for Obama again and I just wrote my mother and sister and told them that. Sorry if I sound repetitive from my post on the other thread, but this story need to get out now.

Depressing. Really. Farewell, Israel?

IF OBAMA IS ELECTED, GOD HELP US ALL, ISRAEL WILL NUKE IRAN AND WW3 WILL BEGIN...

IT IS COMING ...

PREPARE FOR WAR...

This is just a few of a hundred concerns I have about an Obama Presidency.

We will see Obama swing back to the left from the center as soon as he gets sworn in.

We will see what makes him the number one liberal in congress along with the number 3 liberal in congress.

We will see strong influences from Black Liberation theologists, from the likes of Jesse Jackson,and Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

We will see the appeasement of Islamic countries as noted above and Barack will be known as Dhimmiobama.

We will see the strong influences of the corrupt democratic practices of Chicago politics emerge in DC,even though it is bad enough.

We will see a strong push again for Black slavery reparations in congress.

We will see numerous African Americans playing the race card more than ever to protect what they perceive as their President (noting polling data show a black vote of 85 percent for Obama).

To bad that American women are not courageous enough to stand up as strongly for another female candidate who could possibly become the president.

Whatever happened to female empowerment?.

If this man is elected, you won't know your own country in two years. Judeo-Christian values will be out the window, Islam in. The mad dogs in the middle east will rejoice at their victory. Islamic empowerment will be exponential. Israel will be very nervous and will develop a itchy trigger finger out of desperation. There will be war.

Free speech will come under attack as well as implementation of some kind of 'fairness doctrine' for the media.

The USA will become a welfare state with all those Obama 'tax credits' to people who don't pay taxes anyway. That's wealth re-distribution. He will attempt to lift them out of poverty but shove the nation into it, as if it isn't already.

Obama is in the center? Could've fooled me.

Well, folks, we've three weeks of heavy duty fasting and praying, IMHO.

Mackie,
Thanks for a nice list of some of the horrors we can expect from an Obama presidency. Here are a few more (assuming he also gets Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress):
1. statehood for the District of Columbia, which would mean two more far-left Democrat Senators for the forseeable future, and that much more difficulty in electing a Republican majority to the Senate
2. some form of socialized medicine, most likely a sort of Medicaid for all; which would mean all the fraud and false claims of Medicaid multiplied several times over -- it's estimated that 1/4 to 1/3 of Medicaid expenses are due to fraud
3. new federal restrictions on both talk-radio programs and internet blogs, effectively shutting down any conservative criticism of the Obama agenda

You do give one glimmer of hope, however, in the note that polls give Obama 85% of the black vote. If this poll is correct, I think that's a gain for the Republicans, since the Democrat candidate usually gets 90 to 95% of the black vote.

Whatever Obama promised him for his support he should double the offer for Jackson to shut up for three more weeks.

Obama and his minions don't like to talk about his policies or positions.

That said, I do agree with almost every point posted before on a now likely Obama presidency.

How about some pre-emptive impeachment?
Two for one. Sale ends Nov 4.

I guess Jesse Jackson just found out that the muslims world is a money wagon, and he is jumping on.

Is Jesse going to hand back Obama's balls?

It would be nice to see Jesse go on the record to say that Martin Luther King Jr. was wrong on his foundation stance of 'we must support Israel'.

It would be nice to see Jesse go on the record to say that Martin Luther King Jr. was wrong on his foundation stance of 'we must support Israel'.

Jesse is more likely to split the difference here. He'd say MLK approved of the state of Israel within the 1967 borders. All that has happened beginning with the Six Day War renders MLK's original statement moot.

(Not my view, but one I could see Democrats spinning.)

Quite right. I've heard several pundits, including some conservatives, say that at least an obama presidency will prove to black Americans that white America is not collectively racist. Fat chance. If the leading presidential candidate plays the race card whenever subjected to valid criticism, why wouldn't he continue to play it during his presidency whenever the argument is running against him? And if the most powerful American is a victim of racism, why then it must be 100 times worse for the average black American.

obama & a nuclear iran are bush's parting gifts to the U.S. And to those who think that bush deserve props for the iraq war, just consider how history would have judged Roosevelt & Churchill if they had defeated fascist Italy, but left Nazi Germany alone. For in acting against iraq & basically leaving iran untouched, bush has essentially done just that.

"When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism."
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

An Obama presidency would absolutely prove just how racist American really is.

God damn America for real bad rubbish!

jdamn- Please refrain from vulgarity. One of the unusual things about this website is it doesn't usually reflect the lowest common denominator of culture. Let's keep it that way.

The real dialog is:

Appoint me as Sec. of Education or I'll cut your nuts off for being disrespecful of the brothas.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j64_6Aj34o

Prediction: Obama will be asked about this speech, will respond forcefully that Jackson does not speak for him, and will win votes, as Clinton did with Sista Solja or whatever that creep's name was.

Talk softly and carry a big briefcase full of Jizya.

Folks,

When you post your concerns here about an Obama Presidency you are just preaching to the converted!
Get out and campaign!
At your local townhall square, mall, non-jihadwatch website, neighbour’s house etc, etc….

The fact that he is so comfortably ahead in the opinion polls shows the message isn’t getting through where it counts !

Black antisemitism is interesting and rarely mentioned. The only overt anti semitic remarks that I've ever heard, are from blacks. It would be interesting to see some psychological studies on this. It might just be I've met the wrong blacks of course.

Not that I'm suggesting the Mr Obama is anti semitic, as far as I know.

It would be difficult for any President to stand aside while Israel was destroyed, I hope.
Still they are Americans, anything for a deep freeze, or flashy new car.

I heard somewhere that Obama is mostly Arab.

And I still cling to my assumption that Obama is a muslim. Pretending to be a Christian in order to spread Islam is a perfectly acceptable form of deception. This is why even so-called apostates can NEVER be fully trusted.

This is a the evil of Islam. This is the evil that will control America even more so than it does now.

Islam has been destroying cultures for 1,400 years. Islam is very good at it because it literally enshrines lies and deception as that which is good. Islam is the antithesis of religion.

Allah is not God
Mohammed was not a good man
Islam is not a religion
Muslims are not citizens

Errata Sheet:

For

"as long as the Palestinians haven't seen justice, the Middle East will 'remain a source of danger to us all.'"

Read

"as long as the Western world, or greater non-Muslim world, persists in its failure to recognize that the war made by Muslim Arabs on Israel is a classic Jihad, of which the "Palestinian" Arabs are merely the local shock-troops, promoted to pretend-peoplehood for propagandistic reasons, there will contine to be a search for false and essentially meaningless "solutions" to what is a conflict without any end, but manageable if Israel's deterrent power remains not only overwhelming to Arabs and Muslims obviously so."

Ha! The story (the Jesse Jackson story, not the Iran story) made Fox News! Obama made some dismissive statement about throwing Israel to the wolves which John Gibson characterized as 'denial' before he launched into a bit about the Khalidi connection. Oh, if only he had mentioned the horrible grades at a 3rd-rate university and hw the Khalidi connection is the only explanation for Obama making the Ivy League. But that would be asking too much from a news channel which is 8% Saudi (not 6% as I've heard my girl Pam Gellar state on her YouTube channel). Still, that was cool.

Will we get a question about Iran's preconditions tomorrow night? We'll see. I doubt it.

Obama is not mostly Arab. He's half white and his father is an "Arab African," i.e., he's East African and his ancestors were slave-owners, not slaves themselves. Here's a great article about it by my man Bill Warner on Obama and slavery: http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/barack-obama-and-slavery/

It should be mandatory reading.

It never seems to occur to these dolts that Israel is the only successful democracy in the Middle East. Not one, not one of the 22 Arab League states has a functioning democracy. By definition, Islam and democracy cannot co-exist. Muslims can no more support democracy than Americans can support communism or any other totalitarian form of governance. The self-rule of "We the People" is a blasphemous concept to Muslims. It is fundamentally at odds with the Islamic canon. Muslims can never, never accept it. Period.

THAT is why Israel is the only true friend of the United States in the Middle East, and can ever be the only true friend. Period.

"Black antisemitism is interesting and rarely mentioned."

Back in the 90s, director Stephen Spielberg went on a tour of high schools in America to show "Schindler's List" for free and have discussions with students. He found a disturbing fact that a considerable number of black students laughed at scenes of the Holocaust and expressed attitudes of so what? or even support for the Nazis depicted. Spielberg was even on the Oprah show talking about this as I recall.

This link cites some articles about this (but no links):

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/Schindler.html

"Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims," Jackson says.

Take a good long look at BO and Jackson.

Then, gaze upon any number of pictures taken of BO with Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odingath who are said to be a first cousins.

Odingath promised shariah in Kenya; and perhaps you don't give a flying finger about BO and Ayers -- you should be very concerned!

The choice of president will be between two stalinists as I see it; and either choice will doom this nation to eventual islamic enslavement.

As an individual, I will not convert; I will not be enslaved nor will I submit; I refuse to die or be killed even when I happen to be in a shariah ruled country.

Either of the two sad choices for president will soon test you -- because radicalism will be in your face.

Gaze well upon the picture and be very afraid!

Jackson assumes too much. To think of the Carbon signature Jackson made in having to go to France to drop this bomb. Leftists never seem to have a problem with one of their own wasting Gas, let alone passing it.

A vote for Obama is a vote for surrender.

So many rats, so few cages.

Prediction once again and getting stronger,
Within one year of Obama's presidency, the same people who elected him will be howling for his impeachment...

mike trivisonno,

If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to check the article below. It's the first of a three-part series that will attempt to explain Obama's religion. The author considers him an agnostic materialist.
The article has more than three dozen footnotes, some of which link to news articles. Obama's many different statements on his religion will leave you dizzy.

Obama's Religious Ruse: 'I've Always Been a Christian'

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/obamas_religious_ruse_ive_alwa.html

It's a toss-up for Dhimmi of the week award between the Reverend Jackson and CNN's Campbell Brown who writes an essay: "So what if Barack Obama is a Muslim? What difference would that make".

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/13/campbell.brown.obama/index.html

jdamn,

You wrote, "Obama is not mostly Arab. He's half white and his father is an "Arab African," i.e., he's East African and his ancestors were slave-owners, not slaves themselves"

That is not entirely true. Obama's ethnic background is mixed. His grandfather was a Luo (Negro-African) who converted to Islam, I believe while working in Zanzibar or thereabouts. The Luos are not generally muslim, although some are. He was not an Arab-African. I believe the grandmother was of mixed Arab-African ancestry, but actual facts are hard to find. Obama's father (Obama senior) was certainly born a muslim, as of course was Barack the presidential candidate, from the view of muslims. Undoubtedly, some of BHO's ancestors were slaveowners, both from the Arab-African and Negro-African parts. Slavery was not unusual in Africa, independent of the slave trades which exported people as chattel to the Americas and to the muslim world of North Africa and Arabia etc., It is also very likely that Obama's Luo forebears enslaved people as they defeated and conquered their rivals. Most African slaves exported as chattel were enslaved by their fellow Africans and then sold to slavetraders, Arab or European. However, that is several generations back.

While there is report that Obama’s camp is distancing itself from the statement, its probably moreso due to trying not to muddy waters more than about his convictions. There is nothing wrong with what Jesse Jackson said. However, the truth does seem to hurt. Compared with the ‘Schlep’ talk all day, what’s wrong with putting the U.S. before any other nation; and dealing justly with other nations, even though we hold special favor of one over another?

Thanks for the article, PMK. One thing I hate is when I go to a website and see a female muslim offering herself in marriage (gee, what number is she?! in the stack of wives). I went to your website and saw the same ad I usually see on frontpagemag.com I just hate that ad.

i now am starting to think that jihad watch is encouraging just as many hateful and ignorant people that jihadis do. has this turned into some kind of everybody go back to where you came from web site ?

As far as I'm concerned, those whose book of faith calls for my death and/or subjugation, as well as those who support a "faith" like that, can certainly go back to where they came from.

I think the Muslim dating site is a subliminal way to get unsuspecting visitors to that site to view smiling Muslim faces. Like putting "positive Islam" ads on city buses. I wonder how often we see these things and only register them subconsciously.

Lil copy-and-paste job from your little jihadist site, eh buddy?

So you're basically telling us that Barack HUSSEIN Osabama BELIEVES in the content of the statement but is playin' possum with us till after the election by distancing themselves from it for now.

In your "culöture" it's called taquiyya dn we all know what that is on this blog here.

So take your taquiyya, your kitman AND your filthy dawa on out of here and go trolling where you'll have a more susceptible audience.

Dailykooks or Moveon should be right up your alley. You'll find a bevvy of gullible guilty white liberals and eager-beaver college kids there who have a crush on their former-radical-cum-professor who filles their mushy brains with self-hatrred and guilt.

Go on.. moveon.org..

PS. And please don't use words like "we" and "us" when you describe this Nation. You are a citizen of the 'umma' and thus your are anything BUT an American.

LONG LIVE ERETZ YISROEL!

Islam: raping, pillaging, and slaughtering for 1400 years and counting.............

Del, I realize that most Kenyan Luos are not Muslim, although most Ugandan Luos actually are. Dholuo is the language I'm working on transcribing right now, and I get to meet with a very nice Luo women twice a week. His father is Kenyan Luo, not a Ugandan/Tanzanian one. But his father is a self-described "Arab-African," which means he's not entirely Luo, and if he were Obama would likely be darker-skinned beacuse Luos, Kenyans Luos in particular, are very dark-skinned, so I'm inclined t obelive his statement that he's also Arab. According to the Bill Warner article I cited he is the descendent of slave-owners.

Black Judeophobia in America is actually a pretty scary phenomenon, especially since Al Sharpton can successfully get away with inciting people to lynch Jews and yet he's not doing time for it. Apparently the race card trumps not only the law, but the only form of racism which is still pervasive and apparently incredibly acceptable in America.

We live in a democracy. We'll get the government we deserve. If it's barack Obama, so be it.

Posted by: PMK at October 14, 2008 11:37 AM

PMK, given this, spare a thought about who Americans have elected so far, starting with White House. Americans, in their in0fighting (between Republicans and Democrats), have elected traitor after traitor, who has sold out America to anyone sparing a petro-dollar or a peso. Americans are too busy fighting Democrats/Republicans, depending who they support, condoning the treason of their party/candidates.
Any wonder, that Americans have not so much as questioned their POTUS/Commander-in-chief about this mass-murder? And when questioned, pushed aside as a party-politics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45f1Riv_z1I

Bottom line, Americans have not looked beyond their party in-fighting. Therefore, like you rightly note, Americans deserve the traitors they elect.

Most undecideds don't know or care enough about the Islam issue - but they may care about:

1) Obama is a LAWYER - will electing a lawyer bring change (apart from 'short change')?

2) Obama is BIG BUSINESS and VESTED INTERESTS - he has more big companies and interest groups backing him that Bush ever had.

3) Obama is an ELITIST - he disdains ordinary working people. He's only interested in people with power.

4) Obama is TWO-FACED - he chases ordinary people's votes with owerful, stage-manager rhetoric - and then criticizes them behind their backs.

5) Obama is SOCIALIST (already covered in previous posts)

Undecideds need to hear this. Obama isn't for 'change' in the way they think. Obama iwill be divisive - he only cares about certain parts of the population.

Obama only willingly associates with the rich, the famous, the powerful - all the rest are 'media moments'.

A Lufkin woman received a surprise visit from the Secret Service last week because of a "death threat" comment she reportedly made about Sen. Barack Obama to a campaign volunteer asking for her support of the presidential candidate.

Two federal agents arrived at Jessica Hughes' home Thursday to ask her if she said, "I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."


Jessica Savage/The Lufkin Daily News

Jessica and Micah Hughes say two Secret Service agents showed up on their doorstep Thursday after a campaign volunteer for Sen. Barack Obama accused her of making a 'death threat' during a phone conversation a day earlier.

Hughes said her words were deliberately twisted by a volunteer who was apparently unhappy Hughes was rude during a phone conversation the two had. The Lufkin mother, a Republican, said she received a call on her cell phone Wednesday from a woman with the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.


"She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, 'No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.' (And then) I hung up."

http://www.lufkindailynews.com/search/content/news/stories/2008/10/07/secret_service.html


The "new America" sounds like another third-world, back-water, stalinist regime to me.

If you say some with which BO volunteers disagree, you can expect the secret service to harass and intimidate you.

How much money did this harassment cost the taxpayers?

If Obama is elected, in two years we may be in a new second civil war, so radical is his positions.

Taheri identifies Jackson as "the Rev." But Jackson is no more a Rev. than I am. He was never ordained by any religious body. He awarded the title to himself to give an aura of authority to his actions and words, which they would not earn on their own merits. The truth about the spuriousness of Jackson's "Rev." credentials was shown at length several years ago in K. Timmerman's book Shakedown. I have written to editors again and again pointing out this error, but in vain. Taheri should be ashamed of himself for not doing his homework before writing this otherwise good essay; owing to his laziness he is ignorantly helping to solidify Jackson's legitimacy as a religious leader.

Alert,
Isn't that what I said? We'll get the government we deserve.
I'm not voting for this man and I'm not voting for McCain, either. However, I am one in one hundred million plus.
It's not just party infighting. Too many Americans are too busy trying to keep up with the "global economy" to research birth certificates and old speeches. They depend on the MSM to inform them of the issues and the candidates' positions. The MSM has betrayed us on that score.
It's up to us to take our country back. If we don't, we'll get the government we deserve. That's the downside about living in a democracy. The person most to blame looks at you every morning in the mirror. We can complain about gerrymandered districts and fixed elections but nothing stops us from voting for someone else. Just because a district is gerrymandered to favor a Republican doesn't stop Republican voters from choosing someone else. The same is true in a Democratic district.
When people complain about their government, ask them whom they voted for. When they talk about the need for term limits ask them whom they voted for. Ninety-five percent probably voted for the incumbent. Why? Because the rest of Congress is filled with scoundrels who need to be term-limited but THEIR representative or senator is God's gift to democracy.

R_not,

I ignore the ads. As I see it, they are serving a purpose by allowing the website to bring us its message. One I see every day is about cleansing your innards. It's not pretty but it finances the people who make an effort to keep me informed. I take the bad with the good.

Breaking Now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michelle speaks:

http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/shocking-development-mrs-obama-decides-enough-is-enough-my-husband-was-born-in-hawaii-and-adopted-by-his-step-father-does-that-make-him-unpatriotic-she-asks-on-a-direct-telephone-to-api/

Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.

When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”

This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.

The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.

When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.

When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.

On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.

Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.

About Jesse Jackson and his connection with and influence upon Obama. Here’s something interesting from a story in the New York Post:


“Jackson warns that he isn’t an Obama confidant or adviser, ‘just a supporter.’ But he adds that Obama has been ‘a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family.’ Jackson’s son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson’s daughter went to school with Obama’s wife Michelle.
‘We helped him start his career,’ says Jackson. ‘And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged.’
The reverend takes a deep breath and waits a long time before responding.
‘No, that chapter won’t be closed,’ he says. ‘However, Obama’s victory will be a huge step in the direction we have wanted America to take for decades.’”

“The direction WE have wanted America to take for decades!!!!” Grievance industry job security 101 . . .Never close that chapter lest you want to find yourself unemployed and looking for real work.

Pretty instructive. But now we’re not supposed to listen to what Jackson says in France, concerning how Obama will end “‘decades of putting Israel’s interests first.’”

“‘Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims,’ Jackson says. ‘Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith.’”

BHO's “background” will certainly have a lot of influence on his policies.

But now Obama says that Jackson is not part of his campaign and doesn’t speak for him. Riiiight.

One small criticism.

Your link is the very same article that Robert has written about here.

Regards.

Just because a district is gerrymandered to favor a Republican doesn't stop Republican voters from choosing someone else. The same is true in a Democratic district.

PMK,

I like the way you think. You are absolutely right in voting for who you want to, NOT voting for who you don't want to. Nothing to stop you or anyone from that. As John Quincy Adams wisely said: "Always vote for principle" http://thinkexist.com/quotation/always_vote_for_principle-though_you_may_vote/211608.html

Since neither the Republican party, nor the Democratic party have any principles, no need to vote for either.

"Since neither the Republican party, nor the Democratic party have any principles, no need to vote for either."

Hi Alert - I understand where you are coming from, but please consider voting for McCain, because to vote for any other candidate is like voting for Obama. NOBAMA '08!
