   Financially tied with Sharia. Critical of a communist regime for not being ruthless enough against demonstrations for Liberty. What more qualification for the Obama administration is needed?

   For those who think Obama isn’t trying to be a collectivist dictator, take a second look at this nominee.

    Charles Freeman: Yale University, National Autonomous University of Mexico, (Whaa?) and J.D. from Harvard Law School. Barry team egghead credentials; check. Nuff said? Nope.

    In 2002, Freeman told a conference in Washington that, “And what of America’s lack of introspection about September 11? Instead of asking what might have caused the attack, or questioning the propriety of the national response to it, there is an ugly mood of chauvinism. Before Americans call on others to examine themselves, we should examine ourselves.”

    Translation: “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” Soooo now he’ll be “chairman of the group that prepares the U.S. intelligence community’s most sensitive assessments”??? God help us.

    Read the story:

    Schachar said the man was killed and an open copy of the Koran, Islam’s holy book, was found in the vehicle. He said the presence of the book indicated the attacker was affiliated with or influenced by Islamic radicals.

    As much as they can say until the guy’s identified. Good restraint I think.

    There is logic behind his selection. It is totally in line with the recent conduct, statements, and pronouncements from the U.S. Secretary of State.

    Apropos nothing in particular relating to this story, but I’m beginning to think that Michelle (Lady M) Obama is pulling more strings than anybody imagines.
    I also don’t think it’s completely out of the realm of possibility that the choice of (the inappropriately named) Freeman may have been a pre-meditated action. In other words, Michelee and Barry O. knew that this fascist shite would come out about him, just proving the point that White Men Can’t Govern… and as his replacement we’ll see another woman or minority (Powell) in the post.
