"...the White House will become the Muslim house.”

As thousands of Muslims converge on the steps of the Capitol on September 25th to celebrate a NATIONAL PRAYER DAY, there are so many questions swirling around–– particularly what is the purpose and long term outcome of this event.

Without a doubt, fear of the Islamic religion by some in America is a chief underlying cause for much of the apprehension and questions. Questions such as: ARE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS WELCOME TO COME AND PRAY AS WELL? ••• WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THEIR THEME "OUR TIME HAS COME?" COME TO DO, BE OR SAY WHAT? ••• IS ISLAM TRYING TO REPLACE LONG STANDING JUDO-CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AS THE PREMIER RELIGION IN THE U.S.? ••• IS THIS PART OF THE CHANGE THAT PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS ALLUDING TO DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID?

These, and other questions, are prompting people in breadbasket America to wonder just "what is going on"??

In addition, sound bites by major event organizers, such as: "...the White House will become the Muslim house”, and other information as posted by the prayer organizers on their website––designed to clarify the event's purpose––actually raises more questions, than provides answers. According to Islamoncapitolhill.com website:

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH....

 The objective of this gathering is to invite the Muslim Communities and friends of Islam to express and illustrate the wonderful diversity of Islam. We intend to manifest Islam's majestic spiritual principals as revealed by Allah to our beloved prophet 

Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM) of Arabia. Likewise; we intend to inspire a new generation of Muslim to work for the greater good of all people. We shall serve all 

people, regardless of race, religion or national origin. 


Now, most Americans are for diversity, inclusion, and for allowing religious expression to all. However, taking in to consideration that the U.S. is just 8-short years post-9/11... and the hijackers who attacked this country were alleged Muslims... there are some out here who may not be ready to see a mass rally of our Muslim brothers and sisters gathered in the nation's Capitol declaring "our time has come".

Even if the prayer's purpose is peaceful... the visual of 20,000+ Islam worshippers, praying to their God at the backdoor of the White House, may be overwhelming to even the most broad-minded of people––to say the least.

Obama Haters: Osama, Khamenei, Hershkowitz, Jung il, To Name A Few...

President Barack Obama is racking up a list Hater-aide drinkers that resemble the world's list of Who's Who.

On the day of his historic speech to Muslims in Cairo Egypt, the supreme cleric leader of Iran didn't give the country's president, Ahmadinejad, the honors of rebutting Obama's address. No... instead, Khamenei, the chief religious ruler of that region came out swinging–– denouncing the U.S. President's words as 'nothing'... and going as far as to say Obama's words would not result in any change.

"You witness that in Afghanistan, American warplanes bomb people and kill some 150 not once, but 10 and 100 times. They kill people continually. So, terrorist groups, do what you are doing there. If the new president of America wants a change of face, America should change this behaviour. Words and talk will not result in change," Khamenei said.

The Iranian cleric's comments came on the heels of back-to-back scathing, newly released tapes from both the #1 and #2s of Al-Qaeda outfit: al-Zahari and Osama Bin Laden. In an effort to rain on President Obama's parade and discredit his much ballyhooed speech to the Islamic people, Bin Laden released an audio clip that was broadcast on Al Jazeera satellite TV, which accused Barack Obama of giving an "order" to Pakistani leaders to blitz those Talibans who impose Islamic law in the Swat Valley, causing "about a million" civilians to be "homeless and refugees."

Issuing a threat to America and its first African American leader, Bin Laden promised Obama that his Al Qaeda warriors will strike the U.S. for following "in the steps" of George W. Bush. And to add further insult and minimize Obama's influence in the Muslim world, Bin Laden said:

"Obama and his administration have planted new seeds to increase hatred for and revenge against America. So, let the American people prepare to continue reaping what the chiefs of the White House sow during the coming years and decades."

Jumping into the fray to lash out against Obama's Mid-East policy and his speech to the Muslim culture was Jewish leader, Daniel Hershkowitz. In an angered tone Hershkowitz said Obama's speech presented a "fabricated history" and ignored those Palestinians who have not renounced terror.

"The government of Israel is not America's lackey. The relations with the Americans are based on friendship and not submission, and therefore Israel must tell Obama that stopping natural growth in the settlements is a red line," Hershkowiz told the Jerusalem Post.

And on top of all of this drama and collective Obama-bashing currently being played out by these world leaders on the world stage, in the background North Korea's leader Kim Jung il continues firing long and short range missles, and threatening U.S. interests... while daring President Obama to do anything about it.

Well, having been Black all my life, I offer a word of caution to these Obama haters: Osama, Khamenei, Hershkowitz, Jung il, to name a few. They had better watch out. Because... deep down inside of Obama, there must be an 'angry black man' who has some South Chicago 'hood fight' in him. And when he finally becomes unleashed, Obama will probably make each of them bullies look like mild mannered Sunday School teachers by the time his wrath is done!

Obama's Base Erupts Over His Photos Decision

President Barack Obama's decision to block the upcoming release of Bush-era detainee abuse photos, has caused quite a firestorm across bloggerville. Obama, who continues to distance himself and demonstrate independence from his left-leaning base, reversed his original position to allow hundreds of 'never-before-seen' photos to be released to the American public after conferring with his military and national security experts.

According to President Obama:

"...publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals. In fact, the most direct consequence of releasing them would be to further inflame anti-American opinion, and to put our troops in greater danger."

Angry, vile, and vicious comments, aimed specifically at Obama, have been posted on hundreds of blog sites... with many of his faithful followers voicing feelings of betrayal and of being double-crossed by Obama's decision.

"Obama's decision "makes a mockery" of his promise of greater transparency and accountability. By withholding these photographs from public view, the Obama administration is making itself complicit in the Bush administration's torture policies," ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said.

Obama's no fool... and he is a shrewd politician! With a major speech to the Islamic world already being planned, and slated to be held in Egypt one week after the scheduled release of those now canceled inflammatory photos, Obama realizes that his message to that culture would have been lost in the controversy if those photos were circulated prior to his trip. His advisors were wise to counsel him to take the immediate heat from his left-rooted base for the greater gamble of scoring big among the Muslim community around the world with his upcoming speech.

President Obama must continue to govern center-right and keep making the right moves he has been making thus far.

Obama's Muslim Verbal Slip Hurts Him

With 12-15% of the voting public still convinced that Barack Obama is, was, and always will be a Muslim, and the seventh anniversary of 911 terrorist attacks imminently looming, the combination may spell serious news for him. The Democratic presidential nominee made what will be chronicled in the annals of the 2008 election post-reviews as the biggest faux pas of his political career on Sunday September 7, 2008.

During an ABC News' interview with George Stephanopoulos, Obama made the following statement:

"Let's not play games. What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith".

Clearly oblivious of the misapplied words he uttered about 'his Muslim faith'... Obama kept on talking until host Stephanopoulos jumped in to try and help the Illinois Senator clean up the huge gaffe. Stephanopoulos' suggestion that he may have meant to say his "Christian faith" was too little, too late as the-cows-were-already-out-of-barn door and the news was running across bloggersville!

Gaffes such as this have been known to sink a many political campaigns. And the particularly detrimental aspect to that segment of the interview, and what will surely raise further questions and doubts regarding Obama's Christian profession, was the cavalier/''oh, yeah... right' manner in which Obama interchanged the words 'Christian faith' in place of "Muslim faith'–– as if mixing up the two faiths is no big deal. Obama should have been a bit more apologetic or appeared more shaken to the core at saying 'my Muslim faith' instead of 'my Christian faith' while addressing this prickly issue.

In this right-now/You tube age of information dissemination, clips from the Stephanopoulos/Obama exchange are all over the Internet, and will be fodder for 527s in the upcoming weeks.

Obama's poll numbers will be closely watched in the next few weeks to determine just how bad...or not, the damage.

Bill Clinton Is Still a Slick-'un!

As they say here in the South... "watch that Bill Clinton... he is a slick-'un"! How best was this phrase demonstrated than during his recent interview on ABC news... where his comments continue to generate incessant rumors at the grass root level, regarding Senator Obama's constitutional qualifications for the office of President. Clinton, the masterful dean and inventor of message innuendo said, when asked by ABC correspondent Snow about Obama being completely qualified to be President:

"The Constitution sets qualifications for the president, and then the people decide who they think would be the better president".

Why didn't #42 just state a resounding "Yes, he is" ... or a conclusive "No, he's not", when asked that question? Surely Bill Clinton understands that this statement would further fuel the constant, nagging drag on Obama––and subsequent tanking poll numbers of Obama––because of the junior Senator from Illinois' refusal to produce his original, signed, certified birth certificate. Was President Clinton signaling a hidden meaning in his "... Constitution sets qualifications for the president..." remark that he has also bought into the wide-spread notion that Obama is hiding something by not being transparent and revealing his birth records?

While it's true the former president is busy championing his cause in Africa... but is he, or his aides, aware that he fed right into "web chatter"? Did he not know that bloggersville is abuzz with these 'daily' and 'hourly' conspiratorial posts:

Was Obama born in the US... Does he have dual citizenship in Indonesia and US... Was he legally adopted by his Indonesian step-father whereby his legal name on his birth certificate is Barry Soerto... Was his mama legally married to his daddy at birth... Or was he born illegitimate (as Michelle O hinted a few weeks back)... Is he part Arab by nationality... Was he listed as Muslim by religion...?

Clinton had to know that these are "real time" questions that dominate cyberspace–– and cyberspace is where this year's electorates are getting their information and forming their opinions for the General Election. It also should be noted that presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain, whose qualifications for the presidency were also questioned early-on in the contest, presented his original birth certificate to the media, and received an official ruling that his birth in the Panama Canal does not disqualify his run for the highest office in the land.

For sure... the shrewdness of Clinton's now-famous 'Constitution/qualification' remark did not help an already-wary-public put to rest these Obama birth certificate rumors. As a matter of fact, by virtue of his authority... he gave futher credence to them. Well, if this birth-certificate-'Constitution/qualification' issue is not sorted out before the Democratic Convention in two weeks, Obama can believe that the Republicans (who won't let the birth certificate issue go uncontested... nor let it hang like an overcast cloud) will mop the 50-State map up with him every day until he produces it, then, move on to the main blood bath through November 4th.
