Please Answer This Question Obama Supporters

I'm not afraid of a muslim woman sitting behind me either cause the Republicans can flash that in ads all they want to show I really am the candidate to unite us.

The problem is that it is too much like THIS.

Blinders....I refuse to believe they don't know he knew...This has turned into a weirder game.

Well, I guess Obama supporters should just play the same card as the Bush supporters have for so long.

There are thousands of people working immediatly with the president (and the presidential nominees), and thousands beneath them. Factor in each state, each city in each state, every volunteer in each city in each state....if this is campaign policy, we can expect to see it more often.
If it was an anomoly, which it likely was, then we will see hijabs at the next rally, front and center.

The only thing that was compared was culpability along a chain of command.

Thanks, old europe.

I thought it was extremely likely that there was a picture of Obama with a woman in a hijab out there somewhere, but wasn't sure how to search.

Photographs from a Seattle rally earlier this year also clearly show a couple in Muslim garb behind the candidate.

The administrator of the Muslims4Obama group on Obama's website, which is not a formal part of the campaign, also said she had "not heard anything regarding Muslim supporters being steered away from sitting behind Sen. Obama at the event" and noted that he had Muslim supporters present at events in Minnesota, including one at which he stood with a Muslim member of Congress, Keith Ellison.

Where was this pic taken? It looks like it was a specific group of women in that pic.

The only real game here is 'how can we smear Obama?' And you are one of the players.
Think of it as a continuum...when you are in denial that this guy could possibly ever have a selfish moment or an ethical **** up, people swing into accusatory mode, rather serious about showing you what you are refusing to look at. You are too old and too smart to consider appropriate criticism as smearing...jeez.

djjd62 is correct. He will be taking heat for rational and irrational reasons from you bunch from now until infinity.
Remind you of anything...?
If the rest of us are supposed to act all worried every time a Concern troll like Bear, and a bunch of Republicans criticize what he does, we'd never have a moment to breathe.
True. So just breathe and don't get so pinched off about it.
You ought to get used to him doing things you don't like and disagree with, and get used to most people not caring.
I think YOU should get used to the criticism, and try to understand that he's going to **** up now and then.
For that is the result of your party f*cking things up to the point that they have; a shift of the populace away from Conservatism and towards Liberalism.
These shifts happen cyclically...
You can thank Bush and Cheney for that, and don't forget to look in the mirror and thank yourself as well; as a supporter, you bear some of the responsibility. I haven't seen you calling Republicans out on anything in a long, long time....
When have you EVER called your buds out...?

My point earlier was that Obama needs to say "Fock it" and NOT set the stage. When pics like this get run through the republican e-blast he needs to say "So what?"

THAT would make him different.
