Call to Islamic prayer “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
What do you think about Obama’s comments and what did he mean about Alabamans?
The resurrection and reexamination of a then largely unnoticed New York Times interview is again making ripples and raising questions about Barack Obama.
“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” Barack Obama told the New York Times a year ago, and he said he once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school. He said as president he is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics - and more likely to be aware of their nationalism - since he once studied the Koran with them.
Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent according to the New York Times article by Nicholas Kristof who also reported Obama saying “It’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks.”
Obama also described the call to Islamic prayers as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Sean Hannity discussed Kristof’s article today, Tuesday, July 29, 2008 on his afternoon radio program. What do you think?
Call these Boston area Media Outlets about James Fagan, Ethicist
These Media Outlets have received nicely framed HAA Nomination Certificates for James Fagan who practices his sensitive trade craft on the floor of the Massachusetts legislature.
Does he have a conflict of interest?
Is this how you want your political representative to represent you?
Did you know many legislators are free of most legal risk for what they say on legislative floors which may be broadcast around the world?
If you said on the street corner some of the things they say, you could lose a defamation suit after spending a lot of money in futile defense and even if you win, you will be the poorer for it.
Call these media outlets and ask them which lucky desk is displaying the handsome HAA Certificate for James Fagan. ASK THEM TO SEND A PICTURE OF THEIR FRAMED ONE ON A DESK.

Call For Offshore Drilling Helps McCain; Hurts Obama
62% Support Offshore Drilling
A Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll reports a delayed bounce for Barack in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio now that Hillary is out of the way. The bounce is based on young voters and blacks (90% support him) while mature White voters and especially men do not. A Rasmussen Poll released at 9Am PST Thursday still has Obama 45-McCain 42%. McCain seems glued to the 42% figure. 62% agree with McCain on ending the offshore drilling moratorium; including 61% of Floridians where Rasmussen contradicts Quinipiac finding McCain leads, and that will help him while only 27% agree with Obama’s opposition to it and that hurts him. Not unexpectedly 85% of Republican agree with McCain on offshore drilling and surprisingly Democrats are split at 45%.
52% says Congress is doing a poor job, and 30% says it Is corrupt only 11% says it is doing a good or excellent job. 64% says the Democrat control Congress, now 233 Democrat and 202 Republican, has done nothing to improve American life. 73% say member of Congress are only interested in improving their own political career.
