Obama implores minister to call off Quran burning
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is exhorting a Florida minister to “listen to those better angels” and call off his plan to engage in a Quran-burning protest this weekend.
Obama told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview aired Thursday that he hopes the Rev. Terry Jones of Florida listens to the pleas of people who have asked him to call off the plan. The president called it a “stunt.”
“If he’s listening, I hope he understands that what he’s proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans,” Obama said. “That this country has been built on the notion of freedom and religious tolerance.”
“And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform,” the president added.

Obama implores minister to call off Quran burning
Barack Hussein Obama is a FOOL! Who does he think he’s pandering? Who does he think is going to buy this BS about putting our troops in MORE danger? Does he honestly believe that his Muslim brothers are going to make an effort to kill our troops LESS if he (Obama) stands up for the Quran and it’s protection?
Barack Hussein Obama is truly earning the name President Walking Eagle.
WALKING EAGLE AWARD
President Barack Hussein Obama was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation recently.
He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate.
Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his “red sisters and brothers.”
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, “Walking Eagle.” The proud President then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President. They explained that “Walking Eagle” is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
That pretty much describes the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Let’s take a look at what Obama has done so far, all of it failures of epic proportions;
● TARP
● Cap and Trade
● Automotive Bailouts
● ObamaCare
● Deepwater Horizon reaction
● Gulf drilling moratorium
● Increased Government Intrusion
● Economic Stimulus
● Jobs Creation
● Failure in Afghanistan
● Continues to blame Bush for his (Obama) failures
And Barack Hussein Obama has the gall to say, “So I’ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you.” SOURCE
Actually, maybe should thank Barack Hussein Obama. His lack of accomplishment, his inability to bring the nation together, his Hope and Change line of shuck and jive has even turned a big portion of Democrats against him. SOURCE
The Democrats have seen through Barack Hussein Obama.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – President Barack Obama doesn’t go there anymore.
The days of Obama traipsing around the country to states like Montana, Indiana or Arkansas in freewheeling campaign mode — and with sky-high popularity lifting Democratic candidates — are long over. With his approval rating sliding, the president in the next few weeks is primarily sticking to big cities — Milwaukee, Cleveland and Philadelphia — and other party strongholds, like Connecticut, where he can help fellow Democrats in the midterm election homestretch.
Who’s campaigning for Democratic candidates in Arkansas on Wednesday? Former President Bill Clinton, ex-governor of the state.
“Judging from the polls I’ve seen on approval ratings, President Obama couldn’t help many people in Arkansas,” Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe told reporters Tuesday. “That’s about as candid as I know how to be.” SOURCE
This was the most telling part of my post. Democratic candidates don’t want Obama anywhere around their campaigns. He is TOXIC. So much for blind party loyalty. 
Yes, we DO need to thank Barack Hussein Obama. He has given this nation the guts to stand up against him and his socialistic regime. He has opened up a lot of eyes, hearts, minds and wallets, and we’re all looking to Conservative candidates that are standing against Obama as hard as WE are.
Thank you President Obama, thank you indeed.
I think the minister should call off his protest. Why burn books when there are so many needy outhouses in the country.
Bob Mack — That’s an option I didn’t consider…
I don’t consider this “guy” in Florida a minister of the “good news.” Christians are called to be at Peace with all men as much as is possible. The actions by this church distracts from the real concerns and in the end places all of us at risk of excessive control by the government.
However, Obama’s action are like pouring gasoline on a fire. He has already discredited himself and wasted his bully pulpit by oppressing the right minded people of America, bowed to too many people, and pushing interests not suitable to a majority of the American People
Unlike some who advocate that Obama himself is Muslim or not even a Citizen, I do NOT know and therefore have followed my mother’s past wise advise and have said nothing. But that being said, I will say as an ordained minister of the Gospel that both the Florida minister and Barack Obama need to repent, turn back from the wrath of God and live by the true Gospel of Christ. Franklin Graham said it right: to claim o be a Christian, Obama would have had to have rejected all other paths to God. Which pits on the table, has Obama done so?
Obama will not come to Arkansas - even AR democrats rejected him in the last election. As for Clinton coming to Arkansas, he is no longer welcome by most Arkansans. The endorsement by this womanizer of these two women - Lincoln and Elliot is like a rapist saying I knew you would love it. Lincoln and Elliot are indeed desperate to turn to a known abuser and alleged rapist for support.
ozarkguru — I am not here to judge the *Christian creds* of anyone..
I also have NO problem with anyone burning the Quran, as long as they attach a few Muslims to each burning…
If that makes ME less than Christian, so be it… I am a WARRIOR, not an appeaser…
You know what the biggest suckers word in the Bible is? Peace.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say , Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape .
As Christians, we believe that Jesus is returning and we must remember that when Jesus returns, he’s not coming back as the Prince of Peace. When He returns, He’s coming back as a Warrior; a Captain leading an army of two hundred thousand thousand. He’s literally going to stomp heads to where the blood runs as deep as the horses bridle.
I am NOT a Biblical scholar, but consider this:
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12] — It isn’t working… Islam has SWORN to convert us or kill us… We haven’t done that to them.
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. [Matthew 5:38] — so, Muslims burn Christian bibles and persecute Christians in the most heinous manner. But we can’t strike back in kind?
If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. [Matthew 5:39] — All you get is 2 sore cheeks…
I am damned tired of all the religious spin, from ALL sides.
This isn’t about religion or faith, it’s about RIGHT and WRONG as WE see it. If YOU swear to kill me and mine if we don’t acquiesce to YOUR beliefs, then by golly, you have yourself some work to do, because I am going to kill YOU if you try.
Christians may well be called to ‘be at peace with all men’ as much as is possible, but if others refuse to let them live in peace, why then are they not supposed to respond in kind?
[Matthew 5:39]
The Christian bible is as filled with contradictory and controversial statements as is the Quran. Maybe that’s why I have the issues with BOTH groups I do.
America didn’t attack Islam, but it sure seems like there’s a lot of namby-pamby Americans that are willing to sit back and TAKE whatever it is that Islam has in store for them, all because we’re supposed to be *good Christians*.
FIGHT or DIE, I will NOT go quietly. I will be an expensive trophy to take… I am not going to *roll over* and hope that Jesus is coming to change the hearts of the Muslim, or to tread them into dust, or to leave them where blood runs as deep as the horses bridle and save us all from their wrath.
All of that may well BE true, but it hasn’t happened yet, and I live in the HERE and NOW…
Considering how many Bibles are burnt by Muslims each year, I’m fine with this.
Perhaps also burning a few of them too.
Perhaps THIS is REALLY why he didn’t want the Quran burned???
BREAKING NEWS! - Is Barack Obama Really A Saudi / Muslim “Plant” in the White House?
Walking Eagle LOL and so true!
The Islamic world could mostly care less about Barack Obama.
If he’s a “stealth Muslim” he’s the finest one.
I submit he isn’t a Muslim; I submit he’s merely a defeatist, a Leftist, and a DUPE for Islam.
I am likewise not a biblical scholar but sufficiently wise to know that one can pull a quote from the bible to prove damned near anything. Pro or con, left or right.
I am not a believer in Organized Religions. I am a believer in the goodness of God and the goodness of the Ten Commandments. I hold my own God close to my chest and I don’t express Him to the public.
Church or heart? I hold him in my Heart.
Man has corrupted, mostly, all religions. Predominantly to include Islam.
These bastards, killing in the NAME of God, deserve to be recognized as they ARE: Islam IS as Islam DOES. And they need to DIE.

@BZ:
Why did Barack Obama feel it was okay to discuss whether the Koran burning was wise, but not about whether building a mosque on Ground Zero was wise?
I have no desire to see America or Americans roll over and play dead when the Muslims are so clearly against us. They have openly declared war on anyone who will not come over to their beliefs, especially America. Having said that, I see nothing good coming from Terry Jones and his proposed plan to burn the Quran. (He says he isn’t going to do it now, but who knows.) It will do nothing but take the attention away from the real issues that need to be dealt with.
Personally, I think with the energy crunch (real or imagined) being an issue with some folks, maybe burning the Korans might be a waste of fuel… I think just putting some “Bacon Book Markers” in some copies and dropping them off at your local Mosque might be just the ticket. Then we could have nationwide participation!
And I do consider myself a Christian, but as a Christian I am supposed to be a soldier for Christ. How can I stand back an watch these neanderthals murder young women for daring to be “raped” or being accused of not wearing a scarf or any other BS. Or know that hundreds of thousands of young girls are butchered each year “to make them good brides”??? Or to know they will send suicide bombers into schools or malls and murder innocents in the name of their so called God? I say my God asks me to stand bravely for my faith and my fellow man when I see evil such as this.
Fred, you are so correct, OUR MILITARY is put in more danger by this administration’s ridiculously stupid ROE!!! I don’t think the God of Abraham expects us to lay down and die for Islamists, and I won’t ever. Just the fact that they are refusing to compromise and put the mosque at another location (the State of NY offered them state land!) tells me all about their intent. The fact that one of the founders of HAMAS has spoke out for this travesty, tells me what this is and it’s not intended to do what the lying sack of poo, the Imam is saying. For them, it’s a Victory Mosque and nothing less. I say screw em and throw them out of the country! They don’t belong here!
Obama talked about Muslims who wear the uniform, but failed to mention how one fragged his own guys, one killed damn near a full squad of his fellow soldiers, and another, a chaplain, was an Al Quaida spy at Guantanamo. And that’s just off the top of my head. I hate to say it, because I’ve never been particularly intolerant of anybody’s religious beliefs, but I wouldn’t trust a damn one of Mohammad’s followers (except for maybe Cat Stevens or Muhammad Ali). Throughout history, Islamists have caused problems everywhere they’ve ever settled, and now they’re doing it here. Give them time and numbers enough, and we’ll have the same troubles in the U.S. as they’re experiencing in Europe. Combine that with the influx of Mexican drug gangs and our own domestic criminals, and we’ve got quite a rosy future ahead of us.
