...no but you can't sit hear because your a Muslim.
The following is from the LA Times, and is Obama's appology to the two Muslim women who were ejected from their seats behind the podium.
"CHICAGO -- Sen. Barack Obama has apologized to two Muslim women who were kept by campaign volunteers from sitting behind the podium during a rally in Detroit this week because they wore head scarves.
Hebba Aref and Shimaa Abdelfadeel said in an e-mail that they were grateful and set to move forward after each received calls from Obama."
In a statement, Obama said he expressed his deepest apologies to the women.
"The actions of these volunteers were unacceptable and in no way reflect any policy of my campaign," Obama said."
I have to wonder just how sincere this appology was. I say that because Obama is a smart guy, even if he is out of touch, and he knows how to set the stage for one of his speaches. I must say that I am glad he at least extended them an appology. I am just not sure it was for real.
