U.S.: The latest Obama assassin wannabe comes from St. George, Utah

  • With all this mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy, I’m sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths.
  • Daniel James Murray • According to a criminal complaint filed by Zion’s First National Bank, where he made threats to make sure he could, lacking an ID, take out part of the $25,000 he deposited. “Not to be disrespectful,” the Anton Chigurh wannabe apparently said, “but if I don’t get this money, someone is going to die.” He then made threats to the president, saying he is on a “mission to kill” Obama. He’s still out there, just an FYI. • source

U.S., World: Barack Obama’s friendly, open arms approach to the Muslim world

  • I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition.
  • President Barack Obama • Speaking in Cairo, Egypt on the need for the U.S. to find common ground with the Muslim world. This guy doesn’t like it, but we’re guessing this fresh approach could find currency there. I mean, Hugo Chavez likes him! That’s gotta mean something! • source
