Obama: Thank Muslims for ‘Building the Very Fabric of Our Nation’

[GhostTX]

Um...when exactly?

Statement by the President on the Occasion of Eid-al-Fitr

As Muslims throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Eid-al-Fitr, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to them and their families. This last month has been a time of fasting, reflection, spiritual renewal, and service to the less fortunate. While Eid marks the completion of Ramadan, it also celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligations that people of all faiths have to each other, especially those impacted by poverty, conflict, and disease.

In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy. That is why we stand with people of all faiths, here at home and around the world, to protect and advance their rights to prosper, and we welcome their commitment to giving back to their communities.

On behalf of the Administration, we wish Muslims in the United States and around the world a blessed and joyous celebration. Eid Mubarak.

I think he's just fucking with us now.

Obama is a crafty fiction writer. Just read "Dreams of my Father".

He's not up for re-election, so I think we'll see him transition into full YOLO mode. I can't wait to see who he pardons on his way out the door. I think he'll far surpass Clinton in putting criminals back on the streets.

I'm still curious to see if he tries to find a way to suspend elections and stay in office after his term.

Thanks for that rollercoaster of emotion, I laughed at this then saw the twin tower picture.

This has been my theory for a while now.

Thanks Islam, for giving the government an excuse to grow a giant intelligence infrastructure and legitimize spying on its own citizens.

That was quite certainly happening before 9/11.
