Hillary Clinton’s deadly hypocrisy

It’s obvious that the U.S. Government’s foreign policy is full of hypocrisy with deadly results. Let’s take Ethiopia for example: As shown in the picture below, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greets Ethiopia’s genocidal dictator Meles Zenawi like a close personal friend, and yet she calls for the removal of Syria’s murderous dictator. Compared to Meles Zenawi, Syria’s Assad is Mother Theresa. As Hillary was shaking Meles Zenawi’s hand in February, his thugs were burning down villages in Gambella and Ogaden, and beating up a prominent Ethiopian opposition leader who is languishing in jail. Shame on Hillary Clinton, and the Obama Administration. All the good things the U.S. Gov’t does around the world is lost in value because of such shameful acts.

  1. Too FAT campaign contributions, greasings and oilings those who believe too much in Gold rather than believing in God. Contributions, greasings and oilings may really relax, clean the wrinkles, pimples and make motors smily and smooth flowing. By the way, how is the Clinton foundation doing? :)

    Don’t blame US-government or any other for that matter. US-government hypocrisy is not new; what is new and what needs to be discussed is the hypocrisy of Ethiopian in diaspora in general and Ethiopian diaspora in USA In particular. It is believed that there are closed to 200,000 Ethiopian living in close proximity to the state department of the United States of America. States department has yet to see 20,000 Ethiopians demonstrating an outraged on what goes on in Ethiopia.

  3. Twenty years ago, advisors under George Herbert Walker Bush, aided by the free lancing Jimmy Carter and special interest Jewish players, sealed the fate of Ethiopia. Ever since, the down spiraling U.S has nothing but a misplaced admiration for Ethiopia. Since May 1991, the U.S has been invded by Mexico, underwent the 9/11 trauma, warred in Iraq and Afghanistan, got played by China, India and even Turkey, lost its economic edge, its dominance, and in the words of its archrival, China, “the U.S isn’t awsome anymore.” There was an article in the Vanity Fair magazine titled, “Why can’t the U.S succeed in Iraq the way Ethiopia succeed in Somalia ?” or to that effect. Meles speaks good English that they moronicly admire very much; he decieves them, lies to them, and after 20-years, has mastered them. The Americans, worse foolish than the Ethiopians, do not realize that all the problem that is besieging them has been brought to them by this well-placed wolf of their own doing. Likewise, Ethiopians walk dazed and confused. After 40-years, we need to know the enemy – the various wolves led by the wolf on the throne. That is the bottom line: knowing and identifying the wolf. America, once a great country like Ethiopia is snake-bitten and wolves controlled. “Behold, I’ll send you among the wolves.” – Matthew.

    Observer replies:

    I agreed with most of you said, except when you stated”…the way Ethiopia succeeded in Somalia”..Did you really mean that? How did Ethiopia exactly succeeded in Somalia? Shortly after the 2006 invasion, the Meles regime suffered heavy losses and retreated with humiliation. And, now Meles is forced to return to Somalia to save his face and appear “tough” before the world. Every political and military decision that is made in today’s Ethiopia is being dictated by and must receive the US/UK blessings. Despite all the rhetoric on the western media, not much has changed in Somalia. Clashes continue in Mogadhishu and other parts of the country. The people of Somalia are still suffering because of this misguided policy.

  4. The saddest part is I worked very hard to help elect Obama in 2008, but for this election year I make sure to stay home. I hope all Ethiopian Americans will do the same. (THERE IS NO DEFERENCE BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS FOR ETHIOPIA. I WILL NEVER BE MISLEAD WITH THE OBAMA’S AGAIN)

By the way, your comparison of Meles to Syrias leadr is wrong. Asad by any standard is way evil than Meles. That is just my opinion.

    Observer replies:

    Your ideas are good and might have worked at one point in time…like 20+ years ago. At present time Ethiopia is NO position to dictate US/London because there’s no Independent country called Ethiopia to speak of. Having a flag and a leader who speaks the language of the inhabitants does not define a country’s sovereignity and independence. Whether you like it or not Ethiopia’s political and economical and social system is covertly been run by the two countries you mentioned.

  8. Anonymous, you are right – no need to have relations with US and UK. The two governments do not even believe in what they preach. Their sermons about human rights, rule of law, and freedom are only pretension for propaganda purposes. They are meaningless words for the West and they fooled us – the Ethiopian people, which they will not forget! They only use these catch words for purposes of snatching countries who are aligned with Russia or China. There is one thing they are not able to do – that is extend Meles’ life, once it has been ordained from above! God bless Ethiopia and her suffering people.

  9. Two monaky are nothing for all of the world and she is relative tow Sionist by her doughter.We all hate them so much and we must be strong like latin America they did.Iran is the best solv and option for this 8 milliones people whom are the enemey for the children of the god on this earth.

  10. The US foreign policy is dumb. This dumbness comes from overestimating the power of money. Ethiopians in general were very positive in their view of america. Now, they´re all learning. And america is losing Ethiopia, inorder to gain ONE GUY. It´s like losing a million dollars, to gain one dollar. How dumb is that? They´ve long lost eritreans, sudanese, lately egyptians, soon libyans and now ethiopians. It will be the same with kenyans, ugandans, congolese etc. etc. too. They´ve long lost the trust of the middle eastern people, latin americans and most asians. Half of europeans never trusted america. This is the fall of a superpower. Just watch your head.

  11. Folks! I am sorry to say that most of you are making wrong assessments by blaming foreign leaders and governments for supporting third world tyrants as if they must come and fight the mad bulls for you and and to your exclusive interests and give the victory to you for free on clean silver Golden plate, not evn silver plate, for they know that you may prefer Gold over Silver just like me too.

    Please remember the simple and elementary fact of politics that governments and governers come together on the basic and simple priciples of promoting each parties core mutual interests whether in short term or long term perspectives. The US is there to promote US political interest. Its presidents and ministers are there to promote US political interests in all of their domestic and fereign relations down the line. For these interests they will fight to the death politically, militarily, economically, diplomatically, etc. Institutions and actors in there exists for these objective and actions.

    Meles offers to keep US interests in all the key areas because he is rwarded for the support. They know exactly 100% Meles’s stregths and weaknesses much more than you folks would like to admit or know. Don’t just fool yourselves by claiming that you know about the merits and demerits of Meles than the US.

    The bottom line is that you Ethiopians are not united, articulate beyond words, convincing about your future agendas on democracy equality, justice for all in the new Ethiopia. Being a fox and dressing up with sheep skin and balming other even much more clever powerful strong foxes will not take you anymore. But genuine unity within diversity coupled with bold and multifaceted struggle like in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, etc, will usher in respect and support slowly and surely.

    First and foremost you must learn to get organized in a new 21st century way and fight in unity within diversity for the new society which you are looking to realize. Over armed and over fed Haile Sellassie’s government as well as over armed and over fed government of Mengistu were crushed not due to lack of foreign supports but due to the determinations of the local people in the fore fronts.

    Did the Egyptians, the Tunisians, the Libyans, yemenis, Syrians primarily go to demonstrate in Washington with out doing anything in their immediate local environments? Hilary Clinton was in Tunisia being forced by the events on the ground to cheer the winners after the West’s and her own long time buddy tyrant Beni Ali was ousted from power. Clinton and Obama will also be with you coming to celebrate the jubilations if you stand up in your own way and win the battle and become victorious. Throw away your self inflicted bitterness and pessimism and get to the bottom of the real things with burning optimism and positive energy in order to help bring about the new change for the new Ethiopia. :)

  16. U.S gov has its own policy for Meles Zenawi’s Ethiopia.As long as Meles sends Ethiopia army to do dirty work for U.S in Somalia the U.S will stand by him no matter what unless Meles Zenawi starts kidnapping U.S citizens in Ethiopia or any where in Africa.U.S gov has its own best interest what goes in Somalia an Ethiopia.Meles is sending our brothers and sisters to Somalia to fight and die not for Ethiopian people’s best interest but for U.S and EU countries.The Somalia based Al Qaeda or Al Shabaab militia never hurt anyone inside Ethiopia.They have never blown up any buses or hotels or anyone inside Ethiopia like they have done inside Kenya.Meles Zenawi is hired by U.S gov to send Ethiopian forces into Somalia to rape and kill children,mothers,fathers,people that have never hurt Ethiopia people or American people,people that if you asked where Ethiopia is that would not even know where Ethiopia or America located.U.S gov hired Meles to go into Somalia to save money.U.S gov has CIA agents with Ethiopian forces raping the people of Somalia everyday.U.S has been spending millions of dollars trying to control Somalia and its people.In U.S the people choice their leaders in Somalia U.S wants to pick and choice the leaders for Somalia people.If you are an American citizen do not vote for Obama.Do not let Hillary fool you.What Obama or Hillary say and do infront of the cameras are very diffrent from what they say and do bihide closed doors.Again do not vote for Obama.

  17. It is a shame to see that a dictator that has stolen the elections twice and has the blood of so many young and old men and women Ethiopians, is being received with so much enthusiasm by the Secretary of United States. Not as a Secretary of US, but as a mother, how I wish, Madam Secretery Clinton tried to walk on the countless number of Ethiopian mothers whose sons and daughters have been locked up for years, tortured and murdered by the same tyrant that has given orders their children to endured so much pain and thousands to be gunned down to their final deaths. In time, some day, the whole truth about Meles will come out, and history won’t be kind to these kinds of photos. Very Disappointing indeed!

  18. We all along know the problem of Ethiopia is rooted in UK and USA politics. It is good to bring this to the public attention and I encourage all readers and commentators to write complaint to the state department by going to the following linkhttp://contact-us.state.gov/app/answers/list and also to forward with comment to public media and center for democracy as well to your state representatives otherwise preaching to the choir do no good.

  19. The main problem with us arises from lack of proper understanding about the inherent nature of Global Capitalism whose epicenter and crux is Anglo-American that is US/UK. What is meant by success and failure regarding those invasions in Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan etc? What we most of us and the mainstream media deems as failure is indeed success for special elitist interest groups in the Anglo-American empire. Think of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) of the Anglo-American Empire including Israel. In the context of this MIC that belongs to special elitist interest groups in the Anglo-American empire, thee entire scenario is a success story. When we talk about success or failure what and who is the reference? I once read a quote that says success is sometimes the way you interpret and present it. Therefore, the success of Meles in the eyes of US/UK is different from in the eyes of the rest of the world. We are shouting that Somalia is stateless is such a grave failure. But for others few interest groups the state of Somalia being a Stateless is such a great success. War and chaos is such a destructive loss for majority mass but on the other hand it is such a lucrative profiteering business for some few. For example look what has been happening in Ethiopia for the last 2 or more years of aggravating living conditions with skyrocketing price of commodities. With deliberate heinous havoc devised and due to this when commercial items are so scarce then price escalates with unbelievable scale and due to this few profit while so many loses. The same is true with war and chaos in today’s heydays era of global capitalism. Therefore it is not Hillary Clinton who is hypocrite as such and it is rather US/UK that is hypocrite and more than that it is rather the system that is inhuman and hypocrite. And the system is Global Capitalism. Making lucrative profit for the few out of a deliberately and heinously devised havoc that causes war and chaos for majority mass has become the heydays modus-operandi of Global Capitalism. Such sorts of immoral symbiotic relationships with such savage and racist dictatorial rulers and the associated hypocrisy is the legacy of Global Capitalism Therefore we better think of a system beyond mere individuals like Hillary who are loyal servants of the system. And for that matter Meles too is their pawn stooge servant as a client-regime.

  20. A lauzy handshake and girlish smile,that is what Madame Klinton gave Zinawi.But,we give zinawi a wa!wa! long finger.

    America Adminstrators current postion with regard to zinawi’s criminal activities is irrisponsible,unfair and is wrong in many ways.As the people of other oppressed and suppressed people did everything by themselves to oust the dictators and the criminals from their lives,we,Ethiopians will do what we are supposed to do without begging any foreign countries.

  21. So much for the “human right advocate President – Obama”. More than anything, it is the foreign policy in which the executive branch has more room to make a difference. So much for the Peace Prize. What a failure presidency!

  22. I am myself participated and contributed actively in the Obama election in 2008 hoping that the Obama administration and the USA policy towards Ethiopia will change. But what I have seen is to the contrary. No more support for the Obama reelection. Every Ethiopian American should withdraw support for this administration.I am not either endorsing any of the Republican Administrations.They pay leap service towards our peoples’ freedom and quest for democracy for long.The American foreign policy when it comes to Africa is based on National Interest not human rights and Democracy.A good example is how the State Department recently decided to resume the military aid to Egypt after holding it back shortly and threatening to stop American Military aid flowing for years there for human rights violation and crackdown on democratic institutions by the Military rulers in that country. The Americans do not want to loose their East African Trojan Horse-Meles Zenawi.They are trying to organize countries against the Syrian Assad, even trying to bring together and assist the Syrian divided, weak and not yet trusted opposition while they are laughing on and criticizing the Ethiopian opposition. They are flowing money to the Syrian so called Free Syria Army government army defectors in a rush to remove Assad without knowing what resulted after. They do not know the Syrian opposition than the Ethiopians better. What drives them is only the obsession to see Assad removed. Because Assad was not a Trojan horse like Meles.They may haste to remove Assad but can they win the heart of the Syrian people?Can they buyout another Trojan horse in that complicated heart of Middle East?

  23. When Mrs. Clinton visited China in 2009, millions of freedom-loving people were expecting she would denounce China for its violation of human rights, but she humiliated the lovers of democracy for saying nothing against China. She did it again when she met with Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi), who murdered thousands of his own people. In fact, her emotional and heartily-felt laughter and her warm handshake with a number one killer, tells us she is pleased with what he has done so far, and she is giving him her blessing to continue what he is doing: abusing, jailing, and killing his own people. She is telling him as far as he is friendly to the Obama’s Islamic administration, it doesn’t matter if he is unfriendly to the Ethiopian citizens; it doesn’t matter if he squanders the wealth of the Ethiopian people; it doesn’t matter if he sells the Ethiopian young girls to the bastard Arab Muslims, and it doesn’t matter if he invades Somalia’s or Eritrea’s territories.
    The Ethiopian people have no friends, and they have no other choice except to establish a new friendship either with Communist China or Russia. I say this because I am very frustrated with the Obama administration. And if Obama is reelected, it will be the death of democracy and the rise of Islam and the establishment of the Sharia law in the United States and in many other countries.

  24. Please send to Secretary Clinton office and Fox News, this photo of Dictator Meles with Hillary Clinton, the pictures of Ethiopian mothers in agony whose children were gunned down during the 2005 election; while Meles was celebrating his daughter’s high school graduation at the most expensive hotel in Addis, the pictures of young Ethiopian children looking for food in the city trash dump and the young teens who live in the streets, the pictures of Ethiopians who have been evicted from their homes and others.

  25. Asta Gettu,
    I agree with most of what you have said, except, once again you change the subject to religion and insulting Islam. President Obama has said repeatedly that he is a true believer of Jesus Christ and a follower of Christian religion. I suggest, you stop listening to some of the far right-wing like Pastor Terry jones who burnt the Qur’an and Pastor Steven Anderson who asked his church members to join him in prayers for the death of President Obama. These so called better Christians than others, hate President Obama for the color of his skin, period! President Obama is much better in many ways than George W. Bush that took the country to war with Iraq with no evidence or cause for war and a very close friend to the Saudi royals.

  26. The big smile of Hilary is the pay off for Melese’s service for US not for the Ethiopian ppl. As many of you agree I am concerned how African leaders are eager to serve the interst of supper powers. As for Obama we regret votting for him. However, is there a good candidate ? I do not think so as long as American ppl belive in supperficial look we may end up with Mitramny,not better than the Afro-American secretary of corborations.

  27. Anonymous #27,

    You cannot separate religion from politics; they both go hand in hand: for example, Muhammad the prophet never separated Islam from his political goals – conquering nations after nations and forcing them to accept Islam, and most of them did. When your president Barack Hussein Obama declared publicly that Jesus is a sinner and died for his sin, the President is muddling with religion instead of confining himself to the many unemployed Americans. When he bowed down in front of the Saudi King and the Saudi King putting a gold chain around the President’s neck, Obama is demonstrating his religious devotion, not to Jesus Christ but to the most corrupt political and religious leader – the Saudi King.

    The followers of Christian religion never disparage their Lord Jesus Christ as Obama did; they never say Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is radical, but Obama said it is radical. The followers of Jesus never say Muhammad was a prophet, but Obama accepts Muhammad as one of the Old Testament prophets. He has also said Quran is a holy book, Ramadan is a holy day, and America is not a Christian nation. Obama gave his blessing to the American Muslims to build a grand Mosque at Ground Zero in New Your City.

    For a political reason, he could say he is a Christian; however, as a Christian, he never goes to Church on Sunday. President Carter used to go to Church every Sunday and teach Sunday school children. Obama has never sent his two daughters to Sunday school, and God knows what their mother’s religion is, but I am certain Obama’s religion is Islam.

    Obama asserts he is a Muslim: “Saturday, June 12, 2010
    ‘I am a Muslim,’ Obama Tells Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit
    Islamic Coup on the White House.”
    In 2009, Obama invited the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to attend his speech: “Muslim Brotherhood members reportedly were invited to attend President Obama’s 2009 address to the Muslim world from Cairo. Khaled Hamza, editor of the Muslim Brotherhood website, confirmed at the time that 10 members of the Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc received official invitations to attend Obama’s historic speech.”
    Obama’s deputies are clandestinely meeting with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhoods who are, right now, in Washington to discuss about their agenda – the Sharia law, which is going to be the law of the Egyptian land.
    All the indications vividly show Obama’s propensity to convert America to Islam and to accept the Sharia law as the law of the land.
    Obama’s skin color, which is black and white, has never become an issue, and, regardless of his color skin, the Americans voted for him, and he became the first black President of the United States of America. What bothers the American Christians, at this time, is his hidden agenda for the Islamization of America and for the total rejection of the Jewish nation and his financial support for the terrorist Hamas; therefore, the American soldiers in Afghanistan and Pastor John in California did a noble thing for burning the Quran into ashes because Quran is the book of the devils.
    Any way, I am not going to vote for him this time not because he is a Muslim but because he has invalidated the teaching of my Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world and the creator of the universe.

  28. Asta Gettu,
    My suspicion is correct and thank you for proving my point. It is an embarrassment and a shame to see for an educated Ethiopian to be easily influenced by some racist groups. You repeat the same thing, word to word what some of these far right wing Obama haters have been saying, ever since he became the president. They have been accusing president Obama of being Muslim by repeatedly using his middle name, as you have done, accusing him of lying about his birth certificate and associate him with terrorists, took words out of content and used it to put him down. No US president have been through the ringers as President Obama has been put through. And for you to join the people who hate him because of the color of skin is certainly, a sign of insanity on your part.

  29. Anonymous #30,

    Again and again, you have used “skin color” in defending your Muslim President: No one has ever criticized Barack Hussein Obama because of his skin color – half black and half white. What I am saying to you who have no clue about politics is that Obama has not been honest with the American Christians who voted for him in 2008.

    1. He has not proved he was born in Hawaii, and he has paid millions of dollars to print a false birth certificate: “A congresswoman from Missouri expressed doubt over Obama’s birth certificate, becoming the second Republican elected official this week to make comments sympathetic to the birther movement.
    “U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler answered a question about Obama’s birth certificate from a man who identified himself as a veteran during a town hall meeting Thursday. Hartzler — who was filmed by the group Show Me Progress — said she had doubts and asked why Obama did not release his birth certificate sooner.
    “‘You know, I have a lot of doubts about all that. But I don’t know, I haven’t seen it,’ Hartzler said. ‘I’m just at the same place you are on that. You read this, you read that. But I don’t understand why he didn’t show that right away. I mean, if someone asked for my birth certificate, I’d get my baby book and hand it out and say ‘Here it is,’ so I don’t know.’
    “The audience member pressed Hartzler on the issue, bringing up Joe Arpaio and his ‘posse.’ Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, has researched Obama’s birth certificate and his Selective Service records and claimed they could be forgeries.
    “Hartzler suggested the issue could be settled in the courts, but noted the quickest way to resolve the issue of Obama’s citizenship is through the November election, with doubters voting Obama out at that time.”
    2. Since he became the president of the American people, Obama has ignored the sufferings of the Christians all over the world: “February 21, 2012, 4:20 pm
    “Billy Graham’s Son Questions Obama’s Faith
    By ERIK ECKHOLM
    5:01 p.m. | Updated The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of the evangelist Billy Graham, said on Tuesday that he was not sure if President Obama was a true Christian and that he could not definitively say that the president was not a Muslim.
    “He’s come out saying that he’s a Christian,” Mr. Graham said of Mr. Obama in an interview on the MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “The question is, what is a Christian?”
    Asked if he would declare that Mr. Obama was not a Muslim, Mr. Graham replied, “I can’t say categorically, because Islam has gotten a free pass under Obama.”
    Mr. Graham cited the rise of Islamic parties in the Middle East as part of the Arab Spring and what he called a weak American response to the growing persecution of Christian minorities in Africa and the Middle East.
    “All I know,” Mr. Graham said, is that Mr. Obama “seems to be more concerned about” the Muslims of the world than “the Christians that are being murdered in the Muslim countries.”
    3. In his interview with ABC on September 7, 2008, Obama said, “my Muslim Faith,” instead of saying “my Christian faith.”
    If you still believe Obama is a Christian after many convincing evidences that he is not, then you are one of his Muslim followers destined to destroy the American Christians and Christianity in general. And I recommend you to go out and vote for him on the coming November, and you can also convince your Muslim friends to support your Muslim President.

  30. #31,Asta B. Gettu,
    OMG! May God have mercy on you! You are one crazy dude, that needs a psycho analysis! Yes, millions of fair minded Americans have voted for Mr. Barack Obama to win the the presidency, but, the venom that has been coming since he won the election, is from the people who never liked him from the get go and did not vote for him. These people are very angry that a family they didn’t care for or approve, are now living in the White House, period!
    Elias, I wonder why, you are allowing Asta to spit out inflammatory and inappropriate remarks about President Obama and Islam. I agree, a lot of us indeed have been disappointed when it comes to the case of tyrant Meles, but this guy has gone way too far! I’m afraid, Meles and his TPLF supporters can use Asta’s comments to make a case against all Ethiopians.

  31. Anonymous #31,

    You are not qualified to defend either Barack Hussein Obama or his religion, Islam, a fake religion, and you have not given me any tangible evidence why you support Obama and defend Islam, your defenseless satanic faith. If you believe Obama is a Christian, show me the evidence, and if you think Islam is a genuine religion, prove it to me.

    As it has always been the practice of democratic people, some people vote for a person who they think will lead their country into the right direction; still others vote for someone else whom they think he is the right person for them. Those who voted for Obama did so, believing he would do a good job for their country, and those who voted for Senator McCain of Arizona thought he would win and lead their country to a brighter future. This has been the culture of the democratic people, and such culture is the beauty of democracy.

    Those who are born or lived under the tyrant Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) do not understand the value of democracy and the freedom of expression, and you are one of those cursed, unfortunate, and mentally handicapped people who demand Elias Kifle, an independent journalist, to debar me from expressing my views about any subject I want.

    Obama is not Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) who is immune from criticism or witticism; you may not be allowed to belabor Meles but you can praise or denounce the President of the United States of America openly and publicly, and no harm is done to the President or to the country. As the American free ways are full of big tracks, the minds and hearts of he American people are full of new ideas, criticisms, praises, and arguments bigger than their tracks. However, your tinny and inane brains does not accommodate such variety of ideas: you are frightened, shaken, and humiliated when you see me pillorying the President of the most powerful nation, America, as he ridiculed Jesus’ great and memorable Sermon on the Mount. I cannot sit quietly and let him abuse his power by saying that America is not a Christian country, and that Jesus died for his sin. Of course, Jesus, a sinless person, died for our sins.

    What are my inappropriate comments about Islam? Can you name some of them if you have been following my views about Islam? Of course, I have commented about Islam in detail for about four years, and my comments on Islam have been copied and recorded by millions of people, thanks to my friend Elias Kifle.

    In your view, is it inappropriate if I say Islam allows the apostate to be killed? (Quran 4:90) Islam allows Muslims to hate the Jews and the Christians (Quran 5:51). Islam Allows Muhammad to slay and kill the Jews and the Christians (Quran 2:191). Islam allows his followers to have sex in Paradise (Hadith: Al Hadiths, Vol. 4, Page-172, No. 34). Can you prove me wrong about the Satanic Verses I have quoted to prove my case that Islam is a cult that demands submission by force from its followers? If you can’t, shut your damn mouth and perform your wudu quietly in a quiet place, perhaps in the White House, and don’t forget to follow the 12 steps when you do your daily ablution.

  32. Once again, you’ve proved my point, it is obvious that you’re a religious fanatic who follows some of the Far-Right Wing Evangelical Christians agenda who despise Obama before and after he became the president. The fact you believed the misspoken statement from the Harvard graduate President, about the sin of Jesus, instead of the sin of a man, shows that, you’re indeed psychologically unstable who cannot identify the difference between fair minded Americans who voted for him and some of the far-right wing racist groups. and you’ve been easily persuaded by everything the racist group have been saying about the first black president of United Stated. Do you even know that the Skinheads believe that blacks are like cockroaches and the anger they must have felt when a black man elected by fair minded Americans who didn’t see the color of his skin to make him the first black president of United States. President Obama is one of the smartest presidents in the United States history and he is doing the best he could with all the distractions from the other end, to make his job very difficult.

  33. Anonymous #34,

    You have no valid point to prove or to disprove; you are simply stating, without reasoning, that Barack Hussein Obama is a smart person, a graduate of Harvard University, a hard working President, and the first black President. No one has said Obama is a dumb person, and, to your misinformation, Obama is not just a black person; he is also a white person. Don’t forget the fact that Obama’s mother was a white lady, and his Muslim father was a Kenyan black man.

    Because you are ignorant of the American voting system, you think all Americans should have voted for Barack Hussein Obama if it had not been for the Far-Right Wing Evangelical Christians. In the history of Christian America, no American President ever got 96% of the Presidential votes: it is only in Ethiopia such phenomenon happens, for the people there are forced or bribed to cast their votes for the existing and the most powerful dictator, Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi).

    According to your illogical reasoning, Barack Hussein Obama must disparage the teaching of Jesus Christ, must discard Christianity and preach Islam, as his Cairo Speech indicates, but that is not the way it works in America. A president of the United States of America should not pit one religion against another religion: in this case, Islam against Christianity. The President of the United States has no business in ecclesiastical affairs. Most Americans are Christians, and it is not the Muslims only who voted for him; it is the American Christians, regardless of his color, his religion, and his sexual orientation, who put him in the White House.

    When you are lavishly praising Obama, you are meretriciously worshiping him, and, in doing so, you will get nothing even though you think you may get something from him. Once again, I am very offended by his uncalled-for remarks about Jesus Christ; he assumes his Harvard education and his presidency are superior to the divine teachings of Jesus Christ, the only perfect teacher ever lived on this earth.

    You believe Obama is a hard-working President; I wish he were; however, I have not seen him disapproving the expulsion of over 80 thousand Amharas from their farm lands; I have not seen him working hard to bring down Meles the killer from his power: he has rather sent his state secretary to meet the killer in London with a friendly mood and a big smile. That is Obama who doesn’t care about the African people, especially about Ethiopia and the Ethiopian journalists who are languishing in jail for many years. Go ahead and bow down your head to him; after all he is the first black person to be the president of the United States. Has his blackness helped or hurt the African people, or has his whiteness brought the American people from poverty to prosperity, from paying 4 dollars for a gallon of gas to paying just $2 a gallon? Not at all! So, where is his greatness? Where is his Harvard education? Where is his smartness and where is his generosity to the African nation? They are nowhere to be found; one may find them in the Mosques of the Muslim Brotherhoods, not, for sure, in the Christian Cathedrals or in the Jewish synagogues.

  34. Asta,
    You repeat the same right-wing nonsense again, the president has nothing to do with the gas price! In the United States, if you have 1/8 black blood, you are considered a black American. I suggest you go to the library and find one of many Chris Hedges’ books and get informed. Talking to you is like talking to the wall. Good luck and good bye!

  35. Anonymous #36,
    I am not interested either in black or white blood: What I am interested is in a president who can solve his people’s problem, and the problem of the ordinary Americans is the high gas price.

    The President of the United States, Barack Obama, must say something about the current high gas prices. I ask you to read the following article: “The Politics of gas Prices” by Kinfante in Share, March 30th, 2012.

    “NEWPORT BEACH, Bill Weiss: In 2008 oil prices soared. Space capacity dipped below a million barrels per day and speculation in the crude oil futures market was exceptionally strong, trading on NYMEX closed at an all time high of $145.29 on July 3, 2008.

    “That was an election year. President George W. Bush was faced with a dilemma similar to what President Barack Obama is facing today. Unlike President Obama, who has been given a pass by the media, President Bush was demonized by the press. And unlike Obama who stated, “There is nothing that can be done in the near future,” Bush took immediate action. He started the mechanization moving to drill domestically to reduce our dependence on OPEC and foreign oil. The result was an immediate drop in the price of crude oil, and five months later it dropped more than $100 per barrel. By December it was trading below $40 per barrel. Of course, the price of gasoline reacted accordingly. From a record high of $4.38 in June 2008 in Orange County and $4.11 nationwide in July 2008 it fell to below $3.00 in December 2008….”

    You can see President Bush was responding to the immediate needs of the American people, but Obama is not helping the poor Americans who cannot afford paying $4 for a gallon of gas. Instead of blaming the oil companies, he can do something like George W. Bush did long time ago. Some people say: “If there is a will, there is always a way.” However, President Barack Hussein Obama has no will or interest in helping the unfortunate Americans.

    Finally, I don’t want you to wish me good luck; I don’t believe in good luck: I believe in hard work, not in buying lotteries for the sake of good luck.
