Israeli Beduins claim link to Obama
This is very interesting. I doubt the media will investigate this. I don’t know that this is true, but I’ll post this since I think this is relevant.
President-elect Barack Obama made history last week when he became the first African-American to be elected into the White House. He is also the first president with a father who is Muslim. And if all of those precedents weren’t enough, now a village in northern Israel claims that the president-elect is also part Beduin, The Times reported on Thursday.
“We wrote a letter to him explaining the family connection.” Abdul Rahman Sheikh Abdullah, a 53-year-old local council member and spokesperson for the Beduin village of Bir-al Maksour, told the paper.
According to the report, Abduallah said that it was his 95-year-old mother who spotted the connection. In a video taped by The Times and posted on their website, Abdullah described exactly how their family realized the link to their powerful relative.

Hi, so glad I found you. Charles has thrown his betters – Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Andrew Bostom, among his others – under the bus.
Wouldn’t be surprised. BHO Jr. looks nothing like Barack Obama, Sr. See this article from Atlas Shrugs, http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/10/how-could-stanl.html. Food for thought.
