T.I. Finds Loophole -- Dude CAN Vote?!

For a convicted felon, T.I. is pretty damn good at reading the fine print of the law -- 'cause the rapper found a way to VOTE after all!

T.I. -- who pleaded guilty to weapons charges last year -- found a loophole in the Georgia law book, which allows a convicted felon the right to vote IF they're not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.

Because T.I. isn't expected to be sentenced until next year, dude still can exercise his civic duty.

And before authorities could change their mind, T.I. hit a polling place in Atlanta to lock in his ballot ... cause like he says, in America -- you can have whatever you like.

16. Let me guess. He's a criminal and there is only one party that he truly feels comfortable with. Hmmmm, which party would that be? Oh yeah, it the party that cares more about the criminal than the victim. it's the party that advocates welfare over getting a job and working hard. It's the party that says no problem to using abortion as birth control. Hooray, we have a winner. It's the democratic party. And this year, they have the perfect nominee. A racist socialist would wants to play Robin Hood, (the key word is Hood) and give the less fortunate a chance in life. Isn't it nice that even convicted felons have a candidate that they can look up to?

20. Hooray for Obama, who'da guessed that felons who have yet to serve their sentence or ones who are now off probation would be the swing vote? LOL I wonder if he campaigned at the probation office?

KLASSY. Yes that's klassy with a K.

This country is going to hell no matter which one wins, and there will be a riot no matter which one wins, so who the F cares if this criminal voted? Hopefully he was too stupid to figure out the machine or read the names.

Arabs: Obama ‘One of Us'

While Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama “has tried to push his origins into the background, his ‘Islamic roots’ have won him a place in many Arabs’ hearts.”

That’s the observation of Iranian-born commentator Amir Taheri, whose column in Tuesday’s New York Post notes that many Arabs and other Muslims see Obama as “one of them.”

They see that Obama has Arabic-Islamic first and middle names: Barack means “blessed” and Hussein means “beautiful.” His last name is Swahili, an East African language based on Arabic, Taheri writes. His sister is named Oumah, Arabic for “the community of the faithful;” his daughter Malia bears the name of a daughter of the noted Caliph Othman; and his father and stepfather were both Muslims.

Although Taheri did not note it, Obama was raised partially as a Muslim when he lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. While there, he studied at two schools and was registered at both as a Muslim student.

As such he received Islamic religious instruction, studied the Koran, and prayed with other students. He did attend mosque, albeit infrequently, with his stepfather.

Obama’s religious upbringing after Indonesia is somewhat of a mystery until his late 20s. At that point, Obama says he converted to Christianity after meeting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago.

Still, Obama has maintained strong support from American Muslims, including Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam movement. Farrakhan has endorsed Obama and has called him the “messiah.”

These factors have made Obama a big hit in the Arab world, where he has received wide praise, including:

* The Syrian regime has indicated its preference for Obama. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has written: “The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the U.S. but for the entire human family.”

* Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi called Obama “a Muslim” and said: “All the people in the Arab and Muslim world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcome him and prayed for his success,” although Qaddafi also expressed criticism of Obama’s comments on the future of Jerusalem.

* Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said this year: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.”

* Hezbollah’s second in command, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, urged Americans to vote for Obama as a step toward peace with Islam, and pro-Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb said there is “no doubt Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency,” according to Taheri.

* In Saudi Arabia, commentator Hussein Shobokshi wrote that an Obama presidency “would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena.”

Some columnists also have noted Obama’s close ties to several Palestinian radicals, including Columbia University Prof. Rashid Khalidi — former communications director for the Palestinian Liberation Organization — and another Palestinian political activist, the late Edward Said.

The “Arab street” also favors Obama. Recent surveys found that he is the preferred candidate in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

23. ObamaRx – The Wrong Prescription for America (ObaMARX)

Joe Biden pointed out to us on 10/21 that his mother told him we are judged by the company we keep.

Obama’s mentor from age 10-18 in Hawaii was Frank Marshall Davis – a Marxist/Communist (and also a pot smoking sex pervert). Obama cites this relationship in his book along with his guidance as Obama departs to college.

Obama explains in his book how he was drawn to Marxist professors in college.

Obama aligns himself with a pastor who founded a church embracing the Marxist based Black Liberation Theology and stays there for 20 years calling the pastor his mentor.

Obama establishes alliances in Chicago with Ayers, who in 2002 refers to himself as a dedicated Marxist/Anarchist. (This is about who Ayers IS and was during his alliances with Obama and not who he was back in the 60s/70s as Obama would like it to be)

In October 2008 Obama slips up and lets his true philosophy out – spreading the wealth around.

As Joe Biden said in the same stump speech where he referred to his mother’s sage advice about the company you keep: “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck …..”

Marxism – the wrong prescription for America. ObamaRx – the wrong prescription.

24. I think it's awesome shows he's not a whatever anyway it's not like he's being a "model" or something.

25. Praise ALLAH that Brother Barack Hussein Obama has such great associates and friends as Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayres, Tony Rezko, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi, Father Michael Pfleger, Raila Odingo, Khalid Al Monsour and Nadhmi Auchi. These fine men show his superb judgment and character in choosing them as friends and associates. I hope that he will offer them roles in an Obama administration. This would be a great achievement for the United States of America and the world.

26. Brother Obama will make the USA a global village as it should be. No national language, and awareness of Islam must be presented to all for we are the peacekeepers of the world. Open borders to make this a more diverse country. Not to many of one kind, but a little bit more of everyone. We can set up villages of our own in this wonderful prosperous country. We from Islam can show them how. Barack Hussein Obama will be the gateway for our success in the world. ALLAH willing.

27. When our brother Barack Hussein Obama is president we will pray that he stops illegal Hispanic Immigrants from coming to this country. We need to expand legal immigration for people from AFRICA and the MIDDLE EAST who are hard working and want to come to this country for a better life.

28. Let him vote for who he wants to. It won't matter. Remember the hanging Chads. It's already been calculated. Whatever makes the political empire richer is all that matters.

29. White America is trying to make Brother Obama ashamed of being Muslim. We are proud to have a Muslim brother who will be in power very soon. We have some big changes in store for you white bigots.

30. To Aalam Al-Jabir,

With the utmost respect I must disagree with everything you've stated. Well, not disagree with your statements, but disagree that I hope this doesn't happen.

I agree that yes if Obama is elected this will happen, but I honestly hope he is not and these things do not occur. I forsee being sent back to my country of origin if Obama is president so he can make the US a more "global village" and get rid of us pesky europeans. Not to mention stripping the US citizens of our rights to own firearms and his plans to "spread the wealth" and give my money to people who choose not to work and instead breed as often as possible with as many different people as possible.

That's just my thoughts, I am glad you have your own opinion and can state it here in this county. I hope that doesn't change anytime soon, either.
