I think he would love it, have you tried to send it to his staff?
tsevis (61 months ago | reply)
Thanks 2 everybody for the positive energy.
@barabeke:
Thanks, mate.
No, I haven't contacted his staff. I would be honored if they would use my work, but I am not sure I have the right contact.

That's weird. Shouldn't Barak Hussein's photo be made out of Muslim flags?
tsevis (60 months ago | reply)
@Stacy Ru:
Thanks for the comment.
But I am afraid you re just reproducing the usual racist arguments.
So, what's the problem if someone is Muslim, Jewish, Christian or Whatever?
Oh God!
TRANSAMI (60 months ago | reply)
tsevis - the problem is he's running for president of the United States. DUH!
tsevis (60 months ago | reply)
Thanks God, United States of America was (and still is) the state of Liberty.
I am afraid you haven't even read the American Constitution.
Anyway...
God bless you, Whoever your God is.

haha I'm not calling him a muslim but he sure does have a lot of muslim friends who bomb places! Obama is not the answer we need right now... No Obama supporter can even name one thing he has accomplished.. without his tv screen scrolling a speech he can barely even talk.. compare his memorial day speech with GW's and GW is supposed to be the dummy... OBAMA saw fallen soldiers in the crowd that day.. what? Bush's speech made me tear up.. and I barely even support Bush these days. Obama's speech just made me say... REALLY? is this the best we can do?

Could you mention his muslim friends who bomb places?
Please!!!

W, Worst President EVER [deleted] (60 months ago | reply)
Okay, I see that the jerks, bigots and idiots are starting to post here. Hey, CK, name ONE person who's an Obama muslim friend who "bombs places."..........And as far as O being a Muslim is concerned, where the hell is your brain, Stacey? Wherever it is, it's not functioning. He was raised as a Christian. The whole problem with Rev. Wright is in a CHRISTIAN church. I get so fed up with these rt wing hate merchants: firfst he's a Muslim, then his Christian pastor is a problem.....Oh, and CK, Bush is the most inarticulatre president we've ever had. Feel free to visit my site, as well as Bush 43 Worst Ever in case you need to see many cases thereof. Good Lord! I can't believe that 28% of this country is still moronic enough to believe and support complete liar and incompetent in the White House.

Please view pictures I posted in a folder under my user name,
The Sign is Racialy Offensive towards Senator Barack Obama. The pictures are posted on a sign in this mans front yard in Illinois. He says he is protected under the law by free speech. I think he went to far, let me know what you think.
