Obama Offends Muslim Supporters

Posted by: admin

Will the real Barack Obama please stand up? To date, we’ve witnessed the slippery presidential hopeful distance himself from shady Chicago politicians, racially charged reverends, and frankly, himself. According to Obama’s own website, “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.” Alrighty then. What is he running from? According to this politico.com report:

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

The article continues:

Building a human backdrop to a political candidate, a set of faces to appear on television and in photographs, is always a delicate exercise in demographics and political correctness. Advance staffers typically pick supporters out of a crowd to reflect the candidate’s message.

So then, what exactly is the candidate’s message? From Obama’s own campaign, we know it to be: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.” And from his campaign’s actions, we know that his own Muslim supporters are snubbed at his rally. Clearly, the “M” word raises a number of insecurities in the Obama camp. We just need to ask ourselves — now, why is that?
