An Obama-Hater for Clinton, Temporarily

An Obama-Hater for Clinton, Temporarily

Meet Todd Appelbaum, a 46-year-old from Columbus, who wore a shirt that says “Osama for Obama” to the Clinton campaign’s election-night event in Ohio last night.

The white t-shirt, with an image of Barack Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb, is adorned with a blue Hillary Clinton button, although Appelbaum is not what one would call a real Hillary Clinton supporter.

“I voted for Hillary today,” he said, “because I’m concerned that, God forbid, Barack Obama will beat McCain. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

The Obama camp can only pray that more racists and bigots like this guy will go pro-Hillary. Hopefully as loudly as possible.

Of course, if the going gets real tough, I have no doubt Bill & Hillary will stoop to this level of mudslinging. They are, in my opinion, two of the most spineless politicians of our time.

The demagoguing of Obama with racist smears, to put fear into the Jewish community, has been the lasting disgrace of this election.

I place equal blame on Hillary's campaign along with the usual right-wing nutjobs.

I'm a Hillary supporter and the man in this article is an idiot and racist who also supports McCain in the end. However I wish the Hillary campaign could have thrown him out, since there's no place for this in her campaign and I'm sure if they had been aware that he was there probably would have, even though it's a free country and he has a right to be there.

Well, well, well. So much for the evil, racist Republicans.

I think this guy needs to examine what he means by the word "enemy."

If Obama loses the nomination, which looks unlikely at this point, I'd swallow that mouthful of steamy chud and vote Clinton.

Lord knows the last thing this country needs is more entrenched politicians. (I'll take my chances on the new guy without hesitation--knowing full well that ANYONE with ambition enough to rise to the leader of this country should be forbidden from doing so.) But it cannot be rationally argued that McCain is less of an "enemy" to the American people than Clinton.

How one could view Obama as an "enemy" to the American people while our citizens die every week and are coming back injured by the transport-plane full in this purposeless war--which could go on "for a hundred years, if necessary," from policies McCain AND Clinton both voted for just gives me a headache.

Todd Appelbaum, please pull your head from wherever it is located and attempt an independent thought.

You are a danger to everyone who ever decides to serve their country.

Ya know I work for this guy and it never ends. People he will never change. I'd say more but that would most likely give me away. I just love that people see what I have to deal with everyday. Just wanted to give a comment from somebody who really knows him.

Here is video of this vile man from ABC:

Controversial Clinton Guest: 'Osama for Obama'

ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper report: A controversial party guest was spotted at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's election night party in Columbus, Ohio Tuesday.

He was hard to miss. He was the one wearing the "Osama for Obama" t-shirt.

Columbus resident Todd Elbaum told ABC News his friend makes the t-shirts.

Elbaum did not hold back on his views of Obama when he was interviewed by ABC within full view of a Clinton staffer.

"The truth is he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim, his mother married a Muslim after divorcing his father. His grandfather was a Muslim. It doesn't matter. But what does matter is when Obama said he was never a Muslim. He was a Muslim. He was born a Muslim. He was a Muslim for six years of his life," Elbaum said.

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

As for me:

The Obama Mania... I don't get it? I mean what has he actually ever accomplished to warrant his current position? The media and the like speak of him as though he were the second coming of Martin Luther King, Jr.

I feel the man is a 100% media creation whom has done Nothing (other than successfully read some speeches) to justify even being on the ticket. He reminds me of some irritating pop song that I am forced to hear every time I turn on the radio. The song stinks and has no business getting that much air time, but there's this Hugh PR machine behind it's sponsors so.... I am hammered in the head about how "great" the "artist" are... even though my ears tell me different.

Colin Powell impresses me a 100 times more than this Obama guy for a 100 different reasons.

But hey.... it's a free world.

Obama is a self serving fool. Everyone knows that people are going to vote differently once they get in the booth. The Bradley effect is at full force in America. Obama is the fakest person I have ever seen and the democrats were fools to elect him as their candidate. America can stomach a white women but a black man.......get serious. No matter how much of a Huxtable he is, America is not ready for a black president.

Horde Leveling Guide
This wow power leveling guide starts at level 21, if you need wow powerleveling guides for any other powerleveling level range (from 1-21 for example) please take a look at this power leveling page.
This wow power level guide is optimized for FAST leveling with a minimum of grinding sessions. wow powerlevel Quests are important, they give rewards and faction and are less boring than pure wow powerleveling grinding, BUT sometimes some quests are really a time waste and we will skip those and replace them by good wow power leveling grinding session when it is necessary.
Some people say that wow power leveln grinding is always faster than questing, this is true in theory when you don't know which wow powerleveln quests to take and which to avoid, and what is the best order to do them. With this fiesta online guide, questing will be very efficient and much better than pure grinding. Follow each fiesta online instruction carefully and you will see for yourself.
The last chaos quest choices and order to do them are optimal so that you run as few as possible while doing the most possible and then turning several last chaos gold quests in at the same time. This lastchaos gold guide will be very useful for both veteran and novice players. I try to keep the amount of last chaos gold information as short as possible. So even the guide itself is optimized for the minimum reading possible, to save time! Let's get started immediately then! Everything described in this lastchaos gold guide can be done solo (besides when I say otherwise). However you can follow this guide while duoing, grouping, it's not a problem, it works too.

Obama Hater (not verified) says:

Hey numb skulls. Just b/c we hate a man who happens to be black does not mean that we're racists. We hate him for what the man stands for. Why don't you idiots get off of your high horses and just accept the fact that not everyone thinks the way you do. You're supposed to be liberal, open to all ideas. You jerks are illiberal.

In a nut shell, why don't you take this historic victory and just ignore the 46% of Americans who have different views from you.

Oh, and shove it
