Rep. King comments

Rep. King (R-IA) stated yesterday how "happy" terrorists will be if Obama is elected president. This is mostly because the terrorists would view this war on terror as a victory. Obama responded by stating that he feels the opposite way of King's comments, and he feels keeping troops in Iraq (which McCain is suggesting) will have the affect on terrorists that King is suggesting. I do not know if King was right when he said this about Obama, but it definitely makes people question what is going to happen with terrorists if a Democratic president is elected.

In reading the article to the title, it just strickens me that King would go out and say that about Obama. In reading the article, he was "born in Hawaii to a white Kansas woman and a Kenyan man, is a Christian and has said he has little connection to the Islamic religion, though he acknowledges spending part of his childhood in largely Muslim Indonesia." The guy was born in Hawaii. Again, in regards to my past blogs, it seems to me that King just takes it all in a name.

This is pure ignorance...and anyone who buys into it is just that. I'm not sure if you really believe this bull or if you're just hoping that it deters voters from casting a vote for Obama...honestly people...this is just sad...

I would have to agree with dani. The fact that a person could use a group of people which everyone in this country, Republicans and democrats together have all fought so hard against to make our country safer, will use them as a negative influence towards a candidate. Grow up!
