Lady M rolled out her finest silks for this evening’s dinner in celebration of the end of the Muslim most holy month of Ramadan, and the Big Guy rolled out his middle name.
It was a fine soiree. Lot’s of cabinet and Congressional guests along with a raft of dignitaries from the Middle East – all of whom seem to have bought a few too many extra vowels:
DIPLOMATIC CORPS
Ambassador Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al Hussein, Jordan
Ambassador Samir Shakir Mahmood Sumaida'ie, Iraq
Chargé d'Affaires Angela Oi Foong Shim, Brunei
I think you get my drift.
Anyway, the iftar ( Which is the dinner breaking the month long fast – boy, could Mo have used that. Unfortunately we had to go on vacation where there was a lot of whining and dining around.) was a huge success, except that Joey B kept getting it mixed up with Ravi Shankar’s sitar. We explained that’s a whole other religion of peace, and not one we’re really all that interested in. Still, even with the mix-up, Joey was the life of party.
BO also said a few words – without his teleprompter! – he was feeling really comfortable. After spending months trying to fix up our relations with Muslims across the world, because George W. Bush really messed them up, the Big Guy told the gathered crowd:
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,"
It’s probably just me, but I think it was a really important statement to make, because I don’t know that much about the contributions that Muslims have made to the United States. Except for that big urban renewal project in New York.

All the contributions of the Muslim nation can be attributed to the fact that, as the Big O says, "In reality, we cannot be said to be a Christian nation."
ReplyDeleteBet the Pilgrims (Christians) in the 16-and-1700's would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the Mexican settlers (Catholic = Christian) surging north in Texas would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the Catholic padres (Christian) surging north, building their adobe settlements in California would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the Irish (Catholic = Christian) fleeing the potato famine in Ireland would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the Jewish (faithful to a Christian God) fleeing to the U.S. from pogroms in Russia would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the Jewish (faithful to a Christian God) feeling to the U.S. from Germany from Nazi selections would be surprised to hear that one!
Bet the hundreds of thousands of eager immigrants (proportionately a huge percentage of them Christians) fleeing repressive Europe in order to (gasp) own their own land, store and home would be surprised to hear that one!
A disgracefully stupid comment.
But then, aren't most of his statements exactly that? 57 states, and other memorable statements, what is his IQ? I dunno, but I've heard it's "off the charts"!
Right. Which direction?.....

Urban renewal (good one, BTW): that's exactly what BObastard thinks 9/11 was.
ReplyDeleteIslam should be banned in the USA and all Muslims exported. Immediately.
The would leave DC just about empty and we could elect Real, America loving representatives not bought and paid for by Islam terrorists.
BObastard, you Musim country wants you back; please leave ASAP
