Obama and Osama - Twins?
This observation of mine may tick a few supporters off (I happen to be one of them) but I just noticed something about Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden after looking at the two of them together in a picture on HuffingtonPost.com.
I don't want to feed the Obama haters but am I nuts to think.....
If you remove the beard, hat and add a small mole near Osama Bin Laden's nose, he would look almost exactly like President-elect Barack Obama.
This is wierd!
I wonder if supporters of Osama Bin Laden see this resemblance too? Will it influence them in anyway? Could Obama actually gain their trust seeing as how Osama is no longer showing his face to the public?
Something to think about anyway as we elect our new President next Tuesday.

Coonsey every once in awhile you need to step away from the keyboard and ask your self before you write. Is there really any point to me writing this diary?

I'm finding that out each day. There sure is a lot of hateful people out there. Asking them to discuss a 'thought' or 'observation' seems almost impossible without getting accused of causing a riot or more hate.

OK, so what was your point then?
By the way, we're inaugurating President Obama. The election took place in November, and Electoral College process is over with now.

I don't think I am/was being hateful. If asking you what's the point is hateful, apologies, but I don't see it.
Having looked at the pictures in question the only thing I see in common is skin tone and even here no so much. Which sort of brought me to wonder are you saying . . . "they all look alike to me."
I also noticed that you go a lot of push back over at DKos on this. Sometime there is no wisdom in the crowd, but sometimes the crowd is right. I believe this is one of those times.

Wait a minute. Does that mean if I write a blog I have to answer questions?

Yes, but you can do what I do and answer them with another question.

Wait a minute... that's supposed to be my job! ;)

I certainly am not accusing you of starting a riot when I observe that I think your post is pointless nonsense.

No... I don't see hate in these comments. Confusion, maybe. It's... like... you hit your post real hard with a Michael Savage stick.

Yeah, all-a them folk look alike to me too.

"all-a them folk"
Give me a break. Can't anybody just TALK on this site? Why must there always be another 'motive' of the writer of any post?
I made an observation and wondered if anybody else saw it too. THAT'S ALL FOLKS.
Obama won -- we know that (and excuse me for my terminology "INAUGURATING'
My point was, if "I" see this and if 'others' see the resemblance --- could it actually HELP Obama with gaining support (or stopping) the enemy from hating us?
It's sort of along the same line that Obama is black, no longer a white man's land (sort of speak). Will it help?

Your point may border on the silly but I don't see how Obama can avoid a related problem down the line.
His dear old Kenyan dad was a Muslim. One of the fundamental tenets of Islam is children born of Muslim fathers are automatically Muslims. No exceptions granted. Death by stoning or beheading or buggery or so if this is violated. At some point in Obamba's life he converted to Christianity. When a Muslim converts to anything a Fatwa is automatically issued on the heretic. The worst kind of Fatwa. The ole death penalty Fatwa.
At some point some Mullah will take a look at the records and the Secret Service will have it's hands full.

You may be right jsfox.
Guess I can chalk this up as a 'get things stirred up' post.
Get their blood going. Not my intention - believe me.

Dude you left this very same foolish post on DailyKos. What 's your problem. Clearly it is your intention to 'get things stirred up'. Most provocateurs pick something more interesting...

The race bait doesn't seem to be selling very well today.

I always thought that Barbara Bush looked a lot like John Goodman.

Nope! This has been proven with DNA tests: Barbara Bush is Brian Dennehy. Nice try, though.

How the hell is this ranked in most popular? And why is it cross-posted on Kos? Anyone else smell a big fat manky republican turd blossom? This is the kind of thing that passes for wit with that lot.

Posting is so slow here that 2 recommends will land you on the most popular list. Shucks even no recommends end up in the top list.

I posted this on other sites to see which site has the most intelligent (willing to discuss an issue or thought) bloggers.
If you've seen it on Dkos - why bother reading it again?

Some people would consider the ability to use the reply function to be a sign of intelligence. I'm just saying.

Thank you JSFOX. I really think coonsey needs to think first before typing.
This site is for people who want to engage in a discussion over a meaningful subject.

As I read this, in my head, coonsey spoke in Steve Doocy's voice. The "this is wierd [sic]!" line really drove home the Doocycheness.

This one time at band camp, there was this brown guy and this other brown guy.....
Ugh.
I'm not sure what's more distuburbing--the thought that you've impulsively posted this or your indignant replies to the responses you are receiving.
You've offered some reasonable and well-thought out stuff here, but this post reflects neither characteristic.
I agree with whoever suggested you think before you post. And even if you think you are right, everything top of mind doesn't necessarily need to be translated into words for the consumption of others.

Rec'd as an excellent example of the banality of evil. Coonsey, try to answer the question you posed.
Wondering aloud and asking rhetorical questions: twins? Maybe not, but these two things sure do look alike!

Izzat a shoe in your hand there, sir? Been travelling with that shoe, have we sir? Iraq, sir? "Unavoidably detained," were we?
Good to see you, shoe thrower. Can't imagine you'd find many targets here Blogistan.

It's OK. Newt Gingrich looks exactly like Slobodan Milosevic.

You might be on to something. State of Hawaii impounded Osama's birth records. What reason do you think they could have to do that? Obama's nominal conversion to Christianity should have resulted in a death Fatwa and conveniently it didn't. Hmmmm...
Not impossible he was planted in a cell years ago for this very purpose. Got a lot of connections like William Ayres et. al. who could have pulled it off. Grandma's been daft for years and wouldn't have known the difference. Not impossible Osama could be Obama's older brother. Their unusual names even rhyme. That's truly an astute observation on your part. Maybe a DNA test would be revealing. Stranger things have happened.
