Obama Turns 9/11 Observance Over to al Qaeda Sympathizer

Matthew Vadum, writing in today’s American Spectator, blows the cover off Barack Obama’s plans to hijack the observance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by turning it over to the radical leftist Lennox Yearwood of the politically well-connected Hip Hop Caucus.

This news has been hiding in plain sight, but got lost in the battle this month over nationalized health care, so Vadum has done a great service by bringing this to our attention.

Vadum’s piece has been picked up by Michelle Malkin and Gateway Pundit.

This article is intended to fill in some big pieces of the picture about what this means. Such as Yearwood calling the war on al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan in response to 9/11, “immoral” (Huffington Post, March 20, 2009) and the Air Force accusing the reservist (a 2nd Lt.) of being a threat to national security.

Yearwood is a Marxist who works closely with other leftist terrorist supporting groups including the ANSWER Coalition, and Code Pink.

Last Steel Beam Returned to Ground Zero

August 24, 2009 — NECN/ABC: New York City reports:

A makeshift memorial to the victims of the September 11th attacks is back at ground zero. The massive steel column was delivered before dawn to the site of the World Trade Center towers. The beam was the final standing steel column removed the site, and has spent the last seven years stored in a hangar at JFK Airport. It will now become part of the planned national September 11th memorial and museum.
