New York (CNN) — “The developer behind the controversial Islamic community center and mosque planned for Lower Manhattan has requested federal funding” to build it.

The so-called ground zero mosque recently applied for a $5 million federal grant from a fund designed to rebuild lower Manhattan after 9/11, reports The Daily Beast’s John Avlon.

In a stunning victory for the defense a jury found the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to be tried in a civilian court not guilty on all but 1 of 285 counts.

Ahmed Ghailani had been tried for his role in the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

He was convicted of a SINGLE count of conspiracy to destroy US buildings and property.

China, Britain, Germany, and Brazil each reject core elements of Obama’s progressive strategy of stimulating growth before focusing on deficit reduction.

The stupid trio are still in charge people. Obama, Reed and maybe the even the worst one if possible Pelski . They all should be kicked out of office.

How many more jobs will they give to India, South Korea or who ever else the bunch of socialist can find.

Right now Pelski – Obama – Reed are still cutting back room deals just like a gang of thugs.

According a Gawker analysis of the White House’s annual salary reports to Congress. Probably for the great job they’re doing with the economy. After all over 10% of America has lost their job.

Obama famously instituted a salary freeze for all White House staffers earning more than $100,000 on his first day in office because “during this period of economic emergency, families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington.”

Obama lies – as usually he says one thing then does the opposite.

YOKOHAMA, Japan – President Barack Obama claimed a stronger hand on the world stage Friday despite electoral defeats at home, failure to get a free-trade agreement with South Korea and lackluster international support for his get-tough policy with China on trade and currency disputes.

“It wasn’t any easier to talk about currency when I was first elected and my poll numbers were at 65 percent,” Obama argued at the close of the G-20 summit, after bluntly accusing Beijing of undervaluing its currency.

The president flew to Japan for the APEC summit without the coveted trade pact with Korea or a united front with other countries against China’s currency policy. He also endured a gusher of criticism from other countries about a decision by the U.S. central bank to pump $600 billion into the U.S. economy, something China, Germany and others believe could weaken the dollar and lead to inflation.

After the talks here beginning Saturday, Obama will return to the U.S. to confront Republicans empowered by their gains in this month’s midterm elections.

Even so, the president contended that his standing with world leaders is not diminished.

Who elected this guy a bunch of brain dead drunks?

Want do to something interesting compare how many Christian Churches he’s been in during the last year to how many Muslin Mosques he has visited.

Child soldiers

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama has exempted four countries from a law that restricts the United States from providing military aid to governments that employ child soldiers, and a Republican congressman who co-wrote the law wants to know why.

A memorandum signed by Obama and released by the White House on Oct. 25 claims that the exemptions are due to “national interest.” The countries exempted are Sudan, Chad, Yemen, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

After all no one in Ohio or the other 49 american states needs a job.
