The Obama administration pulled back on plans to give an award to an Egyptian activist after anti-American and anti-Semitic messages were discovered on her Twitter account.
Samira Ibrahim, an Egyptian activist who rallied worldwide attention against forced “virginity tests” on female protesters, was supposed to be honored Friday along with nine others by first lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry. The State Department, though, announced that it would postpone the International Women of Courage award while officials investigate the tweets. Ibrahim is now headed back home.
“We, as a department, became aware very late in the process about Samira Ibrahim’s alleged public comments,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.

Obama was planning to give an award to a raging anti-Semite, and now says he didn’t know she was a raging anti-Semite. So the question is : is Obama completely incompetent, a liar or both?
Obama has banned the American public from the White House, but invited this foreign hatemonger – without doing any vetting?
This is the same Obama which immediately blamed Benghazi on a YouTube filmmaker and had him jailed. Apparently Obama doesn’t know how to use the Internet, because he was unable to notice this minor problem in his bio – for 17 years.

But Obama is a raging anti-Semite. He sat in Rev. Wrights church for 20 years.
Strictly speaking, if you don’t like someone and that person lives in the Middle East, I couldn’t think of a better gift than a commendation from the United States.
They may still give her an F-16.
So what? Big deal. We already gave the Oval Office to someone we barely knew.
