Palestinians see Obama as their savior
Roadside signs and billboards put up as part of a new public relations campaign in the Palestinian Authority-controlled territories are hailing US President Barack Obama as the savior of the Palestinian Arabs.
The signs read: "Barack Obama, free us from slavery, occupation and the settlements."
The campaign, dubbed "Dear Barack," was started by a local Palestinian radio station and has quickly gained public and official support, according to the PA's Wafa news agency.
As part of the campaign, individual Palestinians have also been sending emails to Obama's personal address, urging him to become a true historical hero by freeing them from what they call Israeli oppression.
Ever since the beginning of the 08 elections I couldn't really feel comfortable about any candidate. Hillary Clinton was the driving force of the Bill Clinton years or so it seems. John McCain is not much different from the progressives. His coat of colors is just more to our liking. And then we got Obama.
What was so special about him after two or three turns of being a senator? Before I knew anything about him it was appalling to me, as it should be to everyone who holds dear to G-d's word, that he turned down twice a law that would have guaranteed medical assistance to infants that survived abortions. If that wasn't enough, I was surprised that he was a member of a church for 20 years that not only preached hate against America but also awarded Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the "Nation of Islam."
That's when I really started to become concerned. I waited long to hear Obama give a clear statement of his faith. But that moment never came. Then it was considered wrong to utter his middle name Husseini. Why? There are ex-terrorists that left Islam and became fervent Christians who not only love G-d's son Jesus but also his chosen people Israel. So why would you have to make it a racist offense to mention someone by his name even if it is Arabic? And the most ludicrous charge, to be considered a racist if you favored Alan Keyes, who is more black than President Obama ever will be, just because he doesn't fit the Democratic paradigm.
And while the media didn't make a big deal about it, there are all his affiliations with disciples of the Marxist ideology. Even that didn't matter.
Finally when Election Day came around, many gave their vote for one reason and one reason only - to have our first black American President. And even if this is a very notable occasion, wasn't this the most racist statement that had been ever made during this campaign and maybe the history of the United States? If issues do not matter anymore, but only looks, whether it's racial or otherwise, and eloquent speaking, we have truly lost the battle for our beloved America. Every pimp can become the next candidate and we would be even thankful to him as long as we get handouts just like a prostitute sells herself for money.
Harsh words. But only a scrupulous self examination of our society and our culture will be the vehicle to get us back on track and most importantly with G-d Almighty.
