Our President is getting blasted from all angles. But he can handle it just as he handled the salvos coming at him left and right through his campaign. The Muslims will soon find out, that this is a man of strength and character. They will also discover what Muslims all over the world know. Obama's lineage to the Prophet Muhammed through his father's Muslims roots does make him a leader closer to understanding their positions than any other leader in the Western hemisphere.
For the whites that "accused" Mr. Obama of being a Muslim and "not admitting" it, this should let them know how wrong they are once again. Mr. Al-Zawahri's comments about Malcolm X indicate, that he is out of time and out of step with the slain leaders political views right before his death. What Malcolm believed was "we are all brothers" and inclusive in that realization after going to Mecca is that the "white" man who is here in America and is Muslim is his brother also.
I cannot believe that the operatives in Iraq think that Mr.Obamas role is to be an acivist. How ignorant.How purely small minded of them to think that this President because he is black is going to represent all the disenfranchised Blacks in America only and side with leftist's like Fidel Castro. Cheap shot.
No I would not characterize Barack Obama as a house slave, after all he is not a Republican. His main concern and priorities are setting America on a better path,and not selling his own country to aid the enemy. Now I see more clearly what whites were fearing. But that is not Obama's mindset. He is very much an American who loves this country and what it stands for.
Here is part of the comment which will appear all over the place soon. Ironically, a lot of whites who disliked him will end up supporting him, because the Muslims are seen as the enemy and he is the Commander-in-Chief, and not one to tolerate attacks against this Nation. Dont' push him, because he will send the troops in. People just do not really understand this man.
"Al-Zawahri also called Obama — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — "house negroes."
Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house negroes."
The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites."
Interestingly enough, I picked up a book on Al -Jazeera the news organization, that now has a satellite office in the United States, and is on
www.linktv.org. Perfect, it makes it that much easier for me to write to the producers and editors and set the record straight. If they really want to master American sayings, I will be happy to share, that there is nothing 'House Slave" about Barack Obama, don't get it twisted!
And don't mistake his egalitarian, non-partisan approach as "weakness." Just watch.
