Ground zero Islamic center opens doors

CBS News  "The developer of an Islamic cultural center that opened Wednesday evening near the site of the terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center says the biggest error on the project was not involving the families of 9/11 victims from the start."

Syed R. Mahmood; A Muslim's commentary on the building of the Ground Zero mosque
Judge this man's statements for yourself.  He mentions that Muslims were slaves in America but we find they were not Arabs, but blacks.
Sources reporting the first nation to recognize the USA:

1. The first nation to recognize U.S.A. was France at December 17, 1777.
2. The Nation-State of Dubrovnik officially recognized the United States in 1776, and was the first to send merchant marine vessels into New York Harbor. 3.Wikipedia claims it to be Morocco  as do numerous other sites that all refer back to Wikipedia.

Syed R. Mahmood is the founder and President of American Institute of International Studies and a former Republican Congressional Candidate from district 13 in the 2002 election.

The Democrat press: Obama’s Predictable Scandals; The media can no longer shield Obama from scrutiny:

Victor Davis Hanson:  "In this world of liberal exemption, a suspect Dick Cheney conspires with an evil Halliburton; but liberal financiers who donated to Barack Obama to ensure progressive change can’t really want unwarranted insider profits from a Solyndra or a LightSquared. We are supposed to be outraged by recent lurid revelations that yokels like non-presidential candidate Sarah Palin supposedly long ago in her youth once tried coke; when Barack Obama confessed in print that he did so rather routinely...."

Journalists help left attack right-wing politicians in most despicable ways.  "It's almost a party game to list the top conservatives and describe how the media and left are depicting them. But it's no game to candidates. Prominent media outlets are trying to sabotage every viable conservative opponent to Obama."

MSNBC's Melvin Tees Up Ron Howard, Jane Lynch to Lend Support to Obama Tax Hike
"Both of them are liberals who support Obama and have given to Democrats in the past, so their answers were hardly surprising."

Victor Davis Hanson:  Obama Becomes the Fall Guy  "In response, the Left needs a sacrificial lamb. So it has nonsensically turned with a fury on Obama as if he were culpable for pushing through the Left’s own agenda. If Democrats do not blame the public’s anger on their once-beloved messenger, then they are left only with their message itself. And that is something they simply cannot accept."

Obama the world leader

 Daily Caller:  UN debacle another blow to Obama Doctrine  
  "Today the Palestinians will poke President Obama in the eye with his Nobel Peace Prize. And he has no one to blame but himself.
"Even before Mr. Obama walked the red carpet in Oslo, he believed he was his own best foreign policy advisor — and he knew how he wanted to manage the world."....
"Here, in a nutshell, is the Obama Doctrine:"....     James Carafano

Barack's Presidential Protocol Bloopers  "Barack Obama has bowed to the wrong people, forgotten to put his hand over his heart for the national anthem, and snuck out of the White House without the press corps to go to his daughter's soccer game. The Commander-in-Chief shook hands with a Marine while boarding Marine One, and he met with the Dalai Lama against China's objections and then had the holy man leave out the back entrance, in the dead of winter, shod in flip-flops, past questionably stained snow and garbage bags full of rotting potato peels." Jeannie DeAngelis

All true; Obama is pretty inept on the world stage with consequences both comic and tragic. But I'm reluctant to place as much emphasis on the waving group photo as others do. For one thing, I doubt it is the formal portrait because many were joking around and out of position. If you see the video of the session, Obama's wave was a quick up and down interaction with someone off camera.
I'd say let it go; there are enough serious issues with Mr. Obama not to have us dismissed as trivial gossipers. Lets not be Rosie O'Donnells of the right.  TD

Jews, Muslims and Obama

Why Won’t Liberals Listen to Reason?  "The left believes that a clever elite can fix all the world’s problems; conservatives accept that human error can lead to disastrous outcomes. Liberals fancy themselves rational in contrast to conservatives’ dour acknowledgment of tradition and tragedy. Why, then, is the left so impossibly, stubbornly, counter-factually dense when it comes to the state of Israel (among other matters)?"  David P. Goldman

New York Magazine

” …and everybody hates the Jews!” 
"It’s all Bush’s fault. Still.
So I’m still sensing panic at the White House over the NY09 loss last week. My friend Rich Baehr is, I think, too optimistic when he argues that the GOP could capture its biggest share of the Jewish vote since Eisenhower. But it’s safe to say that Jewish voters — and Jewish donors — won’t come out in force in 2012 like they did in for Obama in 2008.
With the economy still in the tank, Obama’s reelection strategy rests on twin pillars:

• Demonize the opposition.
• Turn out the base.....

"The New York cover is just the first of many attempts by the Complicit Media and the White House to shore up the Jewish vote. It remains to be seen if it will work."

Anybody out there still believe the press does not shill for Obama? Then read this.

American Thinker; Obama's long journey on the road to Zionism  "Whatever Obama's motives may have been for deviating so strikingly from past pronouncements -- and skeptics immediately will point to his reelection needs -- what matters more are the worlds of a U.S. president and where and how he positions America on the world stage.
And on that global stage in New York, the world indeed heard a "new" Obama."

Obama Falling Short on Israel  "Now is not the time for President Obama to turn his back on the region’s strongest democracy. Instead, the United States should reaffirm its commitment to strengthening its alliance with Israel and remain strong in the face of U.N. action designed to embarrass the U.S. and weaken the peace process."

DNC Chief Wasserman Schultz: Jews Will Fall In Line And Vote For Obama… "“Overwhelmingly Jewish voters support President Obama and his policies,” Schultz said. “And the Israeli leadership consistently, before yesterday and including yesterday have said that President Obama has been an unshakable ally of Israel.”"

A Few Words of Sense about Obama’s Latest Nonsense 

The article's Alpha: "Another week, another fake plan from President Obama to cut the deficit. Here’s the outline, courtesy of the AP:
...
And its Omega: "This isn’t a credible plan. This is yet another soak-the-rich/class-warfare scheme aimed solely at securing Obama’s reelection."  Stephen Green

Neal Boortz: "...the “fair share” term is all you need to understand that this is a class warfare campaign."   "How can people forget that Obama increased government spending by more than 25% in his first two and one-half years?  Just how does he get away with this?  He increases spending by that amount and doubles our debt ... then he says that our problem is that the rich simply are not paying their “fair share” in taxes."  Then he posts this: Is it any wonder we can't get our economy growing?
