RSSObama Campaign is About Political Change … Don’t Tell two Muslim Women (Hebba Aref & Shimaa Abdelfadeel) Wearing Head Scarves That
So the Barack Obama campaign claims to be about political change. That is until they are presented with the stigma of having to explain away Obama being a Muslim again. Two Muslim woman, Hebba Aref, 25, and her friend, Shimaa Abdelfadeel, were denied visible seats behind Barack Obama’s stage at Joe Louis Arena on Monday because they wore head scarves. So much for that Obama message of unity. Just another example of talk is cheap and one’s actions speak louder than words.
“I was kind of in shock that had happened,” said Aref, a Bloomfield Hills resident and graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. “I’ve lived here practically my whole life, and never been treated that way. It’s so ironic that it was at his rally, he obviously would not promote any discrimination at all.”
Aref said she received a phone call and apology from an Obama campaign offiicial, but said that’s not enough.
Muslims barred from picture at Obama event
Think Obama is not more worried about his image and past perceptions that he is a Mulsim rather than his so-called message of unity? Think again. Once again Obama shows that he is nothing special as a politician … he is typical.
Building a human backdrop to a political candidate, a set of faces to appear on television and in photographs, is always a delicate exercise in demographics and political correctness. Advance staffers typically pick supporters out of a crowd to reflect the candidate’s message.
UPDATE I: Obama apologizes to Muslim women

Did not someone yell for more white folk at a Obama gathering to be on TV. I think it was his wife !
He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t! If Barack had pictures taken with Muslim women behind him, then your post today would have had something negative to say about that.
Sort of pathetic that the whole process of political campaigning these days seems to be reduced to the television screen. But that’s where society is, or seems to be ….
da wench – whatever…. the man is clearly a puppet of higher powers in the Democratic party. Ever heard of the Manchurian Canidate? This is exactly what is going on….
If people vote for this man, the country will implode.
Anyone who believes that Barack Obama is about “Change” and believes that that change is the way things are done in Washington D.C. ain’t using their brain.
There is story after story – the latest being Obama’s switch on NAFTA, that proves clearly that Obama is as dirty as any other politician and clearly willing to say whatever it is that you want to hear. The “change” will come in what he promised you and what he would actually do.
What change is Obama going to make? Has anyone ask him? Will all I have is change left in my pocket if he is elected.Obama says we do not need to drill for oil because it will not lower the price of oil. That’s what Carter and Clinton vetoed during there term and now we are still talking about it 32 years later. We are under the thumb of people who hate us and Obama will keep us there until our country and the world bows to them or they destroy our country. Do most people see the hand writing on the wall or is everyone just keeping there head in the sand and hope this will all go away!
Was he wearing a thong?

Carpe,
Still a legitimate question on this thread!
Whench, “He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t! If Barack had pictures taken with Muslim women behind him, then your post today would have had something negative to say about that.”
Maybe, but I doubt it. If so, then shame on us, he could go to a Mosque for all I care. But what he did was exclude American citizens because of their beliefs for the sake of his own image. He is exactly what he says he isn’t.

And that, sums up barack hussein Obama
Obama’s proposal of CHANGE requires sound judgement to determine which things should change, and which things should be kept, cherished and embraced. Unfortunately Obama and his left wing supporters want to throw out the baby with the dirty bath water. They have no appreciation of U.S. history, or the blood, sweat, and sacrifice it’s taken to make America the greatest country in the world. They seem to believe that before you can create change, first you must discredit, or destroy everything that’s come before. Obama relies on young voters apathy and ignorance of American history and tradition, which makes it easier for them to buy into CHANGE, without any sense of what kind of change is needed. Evidence of this, is Obama supporters embracing his disrespectful alteration of the Presidential seal, to further his personal ambition. Or, Obama’s black liberation church discrediting Thomas Jefferson, because of an alleged affair with a black slave. If Obama is elected President, I predict that American history will be gradually revised, and America as we know it will become barely recognizable.
It really should not be about who shows up at a rally, it should be about the issues and who is going to represent your best interest as the president. We are learning alot about the character or lack of, from this little apisodes of Obama. He is new to most Americans and we need to understand “the content of his character”. How he has voted in the past and what is indicating he will do with future decisions.
