Thousands in Turkey Protest Obama

Wait till you see the protests in the USA… lol

A song was created for taking back your country. It is so nice, so up to the moment and so patriotic. I adore the song and the images of the video, very well done. I’m already addicted to it (I’ve listen to it a dozen of times today… lol) and I’m not even an American. This will be a REAL HIT. This video song was done by: http://www.freedonfirst.org

What’s behind this is the position that Barack Obama took on the Armenian Genocide resolution. Turkey’s official position is that the genocide never occurred.

Also they’re not fond of Joe Biden, who has been a supporter of Armenian and Greek causes.

Sorry That One wasn’t near the epicenter of the Italian earthquake…

Funny how Obama didn’t stick up for those Rezko cheated in public housing. Funny how Obama didn’t stick for all of the dead black folks from the Civil Rights movement.

Now he’s Mr. compassion. So was GWB.

cynic, Obama wants something from Turkey. He wants them to stay in NATO where they are the only Muslim country and he probably wants a commitment of troops for Afghanistan. His aides have refused to say if he would address the Armenian issue while in Turkey, but it’s doubtful. It isn’t Joe Biden they are protesting and it has nothing to do with Armenia. They realize he has no intention of ending the occupation of Iraq and they aren’t happy their country is part of NATO. Remember Pelosi made a big deal on a resolution about the genocide and had to withdraw it because she couldn’t get enough Dems to vote with her. One of the problems I had with his campaign (aside from the misogyny) was all the promises he made to get elected knowing he could/would not follow through. The US needs Turkey as an ally. Period. I guess some genocides are more forgettable than others.

Really? Lovely sentiment. NQ keeps it classy as always.

Sorry my link for the video song was not properly done, here it is again:

I wonder, will the MSM cover this? Or will they just continue to go with selected fluff about Obama. You know, the “historical” nature of his first venture into international diplomacy.

My God, during the G20 and NATO summits, they covered every smooch, or lack thereof, as well as analyzing every article of Moo-chelle’s clothing. I just wish people would wake up and start paying attention to what this man is doing.

There seems to be some kind of disconnect about this guy with a lot of people. I mean, a Fox poll said only 39% approved of his budget – but Congress rammed it through anyway and Obama’s approval rating remains somewhere around 60%. Sheesh, I guess it takes a while for folks to start holding him accountable for his policies.

We must give the poor fellow time people. Unlike Hillary, the guy wasn’t ready on Day One. Maybe by next year he’ll know what to do. Until then, please enjoy Mechelle’s fashions and whatever you do, please don’t look behind the curtain. That’s where the Goldman Sachs folks are hiding.

The One just announced in Turkey that the USA is not a Christian nation.

And Turkey is the 2nd largest member of NATO (largest is US).

Pelosi has a large Armenian constituency pressuring her. Obama jumped on the Pelosi bandwagon for politics only–he knows zero about world history. (He doesn’t even know Austrians speak German, for crying out loud!)

Our Congress people are supposed to be helping the American people and finding ways for our economy to improve, not going around making proclamations about world history. Leave that to historians.

The signs the people in the picture are holding say “Obama get out!” I think Axelrod forgot to send the kool-aid over there!

Turkey is a secular country. Muslims all over the world are probably watching Obama there very closely.

[...] via Thousands in Turkey Protest Obama : NO QUARTER. [...]

LOL! Yeah, MAYBE he’ll be ready by day 365…..but I doubt it.

And unfortunately, what people all over the world are seeing is a continuation of the Obama campaign – the same campaign most of us here at NQ know only too well. The only difference is that now he doesn’t need to raise the money . . . he’s got the entire U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve at his disposal.

And tragically, in between campaign stops, he signs stuff which affects us all. God help us.

Oh lookee here: The Bush supporter “what the SF” is back.

Stop the lovefest and pay my bills!

Obama reaches out to Muslim world as Sarkozy warns him: ‘Turkey’s relationship with the EU is none of your business’

French President Nicholas Sarkozy has warned Barack Obama to keep his nose out of the European Union’s relationship with Turkey.

Mr Obama, who is visiting the country as part of a whirlwind eight-day international trip, had suggested that Turkey be allowed to join the European Union.

But the French President said the issue was one for Europe to decide, not Washington.

Mr Obama is using his two-day visit to seek out greater stability to the Middle East.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has told American President Barack Obama to keep out of Turkey’s relationship with the EU

He is also counting on the only major predominantly Islamic member of NATO to remain a steadfast ally in the Afghanistan conflict.

Obama’s visit is being closely watched by an Islamic world that harboured deep distrust of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

The president arrived in Ankara late last night and is due to meet with Turkish leaders and speak to parliament over the next two days.

Mr Obama had pledged in his inaugural address in January ‘to reach out to the muslim world’.

And at a lunch meeting yesterday with leaders of the European Union’s 27 nations in Prague, he said the West should seek greater cooperation and closer ties with Islamic nations

He suggested one way of doing this was by allowing Turkey to join the European Union.

But the issue has met with some resistance by EU members who are said to be concerned about Turkey’s human rights issues.

Turkey is a member of both the G-20 and NATO and is trying to get into the EU with the help of the U.S.

The country has the largest army in NATO after the United States and along with Albania are the only predominantly Muslim members of NATO.

In talks with Turkey’s president, Abdullah Gul, and prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama will also try to sell his strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

He should find welcoming ears, given the new U.S. focus on melding troop increases with civilian efforts to better the lives of people in both countries.

While Bush was extremely unpopular in Turkey and the Islamic world, ‘there’s a sense of good will toward the U.S. – and particularly toward President Obama.
Bulent Aliriza, director of Washington-based think tank The Turkey Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Obama’s main advantage was that he wasn’t George Bush.

Turkey opposed the war in Iraq in 2003 and U.S. forces were not allowed to go through Turkey to attack Iraq.

But Turkey has become more co-operative since American began withdrawing troops.

It is going to be a key country after the U.S. withdrawal in maintaining stability, although it has long had problems with Kurdish militants in north Iraq.

Turkey maintains a small military force in Afghanistan and form part of the NATO contingent working with U.S. troops to beat back the resurgent Taliban.

Turkey’s participation carries enormous symbolic importance to the Muslim world because of its presence in the fight against Islamic extremism.

Turkey also has diplomatic leverage with both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Obama’s trip to Turkey follows that of the G20 summit in London and Srasbourg, France, where he celebrated NATO’s 60th anniversary.

I get the distinct impression that Sarkozy is not impressed by Obama’s strutting.

Pretty bad when the French think you are too full of yourself. Says alot.

It is national call-in day: 202-456-1414

Pres. Obama received ANCA’s endorsement above that of Hillary Clinton in the primaries due to his perceived stronger stance on the Armenian Genocide question. In a letter, Senator Obama had urged Pres. Bush to recognize the Turkish government’s official Armenian Genocide(s).

What will President Obama do in Turkey? Will he call upon the President of Turkey to acknowledge their genocide on the Armenian People? I don’t think so. Another campaign lie?

We aren’t a Christian country. The Constitution specifically states that Congress may make no law imposing any one religion on the people. We are a mix of just about every religion on the planet, and a few homegrown ones. The only people who claim we are a Christian country are the ones who are either making money from being Christian or making political hay from claiming to be Christian. And if you look at our behavior over the years as a country, it isn’t at all Christian if you use Christ’s teachings as the yardstick for what is and isn’t Christian.

The Founding Fathers were mostly Deists, not Christians. John Adams famously said

“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded upon the Christian religion”

He also said, and I happen to agree with him..

“This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it”

What’s the matter SF – you don’t believe anymore that That One can singlehandedly prevent disasters, sing Kumbyah and bring universal world peace?

My, the bots are cranky these days.

Elise said:

“I guess some genocides are more forgettable than others.”

Bitter truth to that statement. Memories get very foggy when there’s a political disadvantage, even with the worst crimes.

What??? Doesn’t Sarkosy know that Obama is President of the World? Amazing!

That’s not the John Adams I knew….

Seriously, Adams was a deeply religious man so those comments don’t seem right.

This
John Adams?

2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence

“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God … What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be.

Or this one

“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
–Adams wrote this on June 28, 1813, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

Neither one of your links work. I even tried copy and past of the second one. Is it Freedom First Society?

Ok, ignore my comment above. It was a good video, thank you for sharing it.

Or how about this one:
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams

Or what we’re witnessing now:
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
John Adams

Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.
John Adams

This is one of those taken out of context moments re: John Adams.

His quote -if indeed he said it – would have been in direct response to the original reason the pilgrims headed for Plymouth. Religious persecution.

His quotes need to be held in perspective in regards to his time and the American history that had preceded it.

[...] See also: Another NoQuarter story about the protests. [...]

google “historians disagree armenian genocide” There is a whole ‘nuther side to the debate. I don’t think the issue is anywhere near forgotten.

For the USA, though, to what end are our politicians involved in this? Political posturing and lobbyist pandering only. They should get back to work on America’s problems, imo.

He is still raising money I got an memail from the Org that has his logo on the top asking for at least 5 bucks to help fight the people that are lieing about the budget.
