Uh oh. Now theyve made him mad. AL Qaeda has sure done it now. It took the horrific suicide bombing in Uganda last week to drive Barry to pull out his aces. Aces as in Race Card?????????????????????

President Obama, White House: Al Qaeda Is Racist - Political Punch

Let's think about this for a moment. We've known for a decade now, that Al Qaeda is a merciless, despicable, Islamic, murderers/terrorists who will stop at nothing and leave no one alive in their path to rid the world of those who dont share their religion of hate and death. So why is it now that Barry comes out and pulls the race card on them?

Al Qaeda has killed people of all colors, men/women/children. Barry's sudden reasoning to pull the race card is based on some specific bombings and the fact that blacks arent higher up in the ranks?! What the hell? Im sorry Barry, would it make you feel better if at least 50 percent of the higher ups were made up of blacks? Would it make you feel better if they split up the killing more equally or killed a few more of this race than that race?

What the hell was the point of this idiotic statement? Im still having trouble comprehending why our Commander and Chief, the President of the United States, has pulled the friggin race card on terrorists. Terrorists who have killed many of all races. Their drive isnt about race you dimwit, its about their twisted, sick religious views. Why the hell did our "President" just try to make the terrorists and war on terror about race?

Yes the world is officially upside down and perhaps even crazier than we imagined. It is official, liberals can not stoop much lower than they have so far and they will use the race card in ANY situation.

Here (from the article) is what the president said:

"What you've seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organizations is that they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself. They see it as a potential place where you can carry out ideological battles that kill innocents without regard to long-term consequences for their short-term tactical gains."

"it was so tragic and ironic to see an explosion like this take place when people in Africa were celebrating and watching the World Cup take place in South Africa. On the one hand, you have a vision of an Africa on the move, an Africa that is unified, an Africa that is modernizing and creating opportunities; and on the other hand, you've got a vision of al Qaeda and Al Shabaab that is about destruction and death".

"And I think it presents a pretty clear contrast in terms of the future that most Africans want for themselves and their children,"

"And we need to make sure that we are doing everything we can to support those who want to build, as opposed to want to destroy."

If you would have read the article, it was stated by a staff member that "Al Qaeda recruits have said that al Qaeda is racist against black members from West Africa because they are only used in lower level operations."

Not said by Obama.
No race card from Obama.

It was pretty tragic that American soldiers were minding their business on base at Ft. Hood too when the jihaddist Major shot them down. Too bad Obama has failed to call that an act of terrorism or racist. Consistency is not Obama's strength.

No race card from Obama.
Explaining the president's comment, an administration official said Mr. Obama "references the fact that both U.S. intelligence and past al Qaeda actions make clear that al Qaeda -- and the groups like al Shabaab that they inspire -- do not value African life. The actions of al Qaeda and the groups that it has inspired show a willingness to sacrifice innocent African life to reach their targets."

""In short," the official said, "al Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life.""


According to OBAMA's administration official, yes Obama indeed pulled the race card. Read the entire article. The official was speaking and clarifying what Obama meant or he wouldnt of said all that.

Clearly, you couldn't read in the first attempt. So, try again and tell me where exactly do you get this idea of race card. Or, is this another case of you (and your kiln) being so entrenched in racism that you can't see anything but.

Looking forward to your quotation of exact words where Obama suggested racism.

I was just about to add that. We have a man who cant call these terrorists for what they are. We cant even mention War on Terror or Islam in referring to them. Yet he can sure pull the race card on them and anyone who isnt black for that matter.

Al Qaeda are equal opportunity terrorists. If you dont completely support their beliefs in hate/death, you will die. They dont give a damn what color you are.

Clearly you didnt read the officials comments. Or you just missed that part. Last I checked, he was speaking for the admin. And last I checked, Barry didnt come out to clarify or "correct" his official's statement. Im pretty sure Barry wouldve cleared up the situation if his official said something he didnt agree with. And it sure seemed like he was trying to clarify Barry's comments, but I guess that went over your head.

To attribute anything to Obama, provide Obama's quotations, not presumed conclusions drawn from another person.

Until then... you lie.

If this 'official' was speaking in a official capacity, he would be named.

So this un-named official is just giving his opinion.
