How many of you knew that Obama spent time in Pakistan as a young adult? , page 1

Okay, lets discuss what some of us are saying.

What does it matter? Did he spend too much time in another culture? What if it was Britain? Would it make a differance?

In 1981 Pakistan was under Martial Law 1 and in the midst of dealing with the Afgan-soviet war. Going to Pakistan then was much like going to Pakistan now. I don't think it’s a popular tourist destination. It’s not like going to see Big Ben or Parliament.

Manchuria is at the Russia/China border not Pakistan.

You have been to the movies in the past decade?

The 2004 version of the movie:

When his army unit was ambushed during the first Gulf War, Sergeant Raymond Shaw saved his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, then-Captain Ben Marco, was knocked unconscious. Brokering the incident for political capital, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, while Marco is haunted by dreams of what happened -- or didn't happen -- in Kuwait. As Marco (now a Major) investigates, the story begins to unravel, to the point where he questions if it happened at all. Is it possible the entire unit was kidnapped and brainwashed to believe Shaw is a war hero as part of a plot to seize the White House? Some very powerful people at Manchurian Global corporation appear desperate to stop him from finding out.

Why? Why does he have muslim ties?

You are kidding right? In BHO's own words:

My father was almost entirely absent from my childhood, having been divorced from my mother when I was 2 years old; in any event, although my father had been raised a Muslim, by the time he met my mother he was a confirmed atheist, thinking religion to be so much superstition.

From the liberal Washington Post:

Since declaring his candidacy for president in February, Obama, a member of a congregation of the United Church of Christ in Chicago, has had to address assertions that he is a Muslim or that he had received training in Islam in Indonesia, where he lived from ages 6 to 10. While his father was an atheist and his mother did not practice religion, Obama's stepfather did occasionally attend services at a mosque there.

Is this really the first time you are hearing that Mr. Obama has been surrounded by Islam all his life? If he was honest about his beliefs, then so be it. I believe that most people of the Muslim faith are good, peaceful people. I also believe that the most dangerous people in the world are people who believe that Islam calls for Jihad against all non-believers. I think it is relevant what the President believes.

If it’s not a big deal, why was it hidden so deeply by the MSM. If you sad these things during the campaign, you were a racist, now if you disagree with him or challenge his qualifications, you are a racist. I see a pattern emerging.

How about all those embassy types who spent YEARS in Pakistan? Should they be on "No Fly" lists as well?

Christ, but you don't know squat about the world, do you?

How about the fact that he travelled from Pakistan to India? Do you know anything about the relationship between these two countries.

A decade and a half ago. Do you know what was happening in Pakistan then? Do you even know the name of the capital of Pakistan?

Firstly, he wasn't a US diplomat. He was a college student from a crappy California College on his way to Columbia University (how did that happen?).

As a freshman, he quickly became friends with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, two wealthy Pakistanis.

When Obama arrived in New York, he already knew Siddiqi - a friend of Chandoo's and Hamid's from Karachi who had visited Los Angeles.

And to answer your other question... hmmm...the capital of Pakistan is ISLAMabad?

My point is that he got elected through fraud, just like Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court after stealing the Florida election, this guy hid his history from the American people and was installed to dismantle this country.

He is not the savior you have all been waiting for. I have never seen a candidate for president before that so little was known about him before he got elected. Its like his life was a big secret. Doesn't that scare you?
