Political Statement on Leap Year Day

I have recently heard Ms. Hillary Clinton, the possible Democrat Presidential nominee, criticizing the other possible Democrat Presidential nominee, Mr. Barack Obama, not for something that he said, or for plans or policies that he had, or for things that he stated that he would intend to do if he was elected.

She actually criticized him for wearing a Somali robe, with a turban!

I don't know that much about the zigzaggy ways of politics, but i would like to clearly point out that what Clinton did was 'not nice', if not rude!

What i clearly remember, from years that are not so many, is a non-Iraqi, non-Arab, non-Muslim, but a very very dear friend of mine, who did the most nobel thing to do in a war torned country like mine, which was to help renovate the badly destroyed or neglected college libraries in Iraq. To do this nobel task, my good friend had to wear Arab clothes in order to 'mingle with the crowd'. I could have swore that if it was in our hands, each Iraqi who met that friend of mine would have given that friend an honorary Iraqi citizenship, and it would have been an honor to the Iraqi citizenship to include such a great person under its wings, too!

But, if someone who is just as 'whatever' as Ms. Clinton, look through Ms. Clinton's goggles, then this person would say that my friend was a Muslim "terrorist", or "fundamentalist", or "hardliner", oruse another stupid stupid stereotype tag!

Well, Hillary, not all those who are Muslims, are terrorists or hardliners, and not all those who have "Hussein" as a middle name are bad people. I know trhat because i am a moderate Muslim, Arab and Iraqi, and proud of everything that i am, yet very respectful to every other religion, ethnicity, or nationality. Would you, O former 1st Lady, accept it when someone underestimates you just because you are a woman?!

No, i will not accept that to be done to you, Hillary; and at the same time, and standing right at the same distance, i will not accept the freakiness you had for Obama's middle name or Somail turban and light blue robe!

I am sorry to say to you, Hillary, that i thought you had more courtsey! I am sorry to tell you, that these latest statements have only made you sink and not rise up. I cannot even tell you how i predict Ohio and Texas would soon vote. However, i wish you the very best.

Finally, as another dear friend of mine recently said;
I love Obama-rama :)
