Mucci....you really don't know what the rest of us were doing on 9-11....you don't know what we consider important...like spending time with our families, calling old friends taking time out of the day to visit the Hacienda center....which was beautiful by the way.

We only suggested that we take a break on 9-11....it was not a rule...you are free to do what you want. However this information, while it may be important, if relevant, could have been saved for another hour or so....this was posted at 10pm...who really was going to change their entire life over this article. It was just a matter of respect for our country that we (a lot of us) had agreed to take some time off from politics...and remember 9-11. Personally I felt good about it all day....

Now my response to the article you posted:

After reading it many times over...all I can think of is the following....it does NOT state anywhere that he is still employed by the Obama campaign. It states that he has sat in on some conference calls with the group.

Let's all read this quote from the article together...shall we:

"Asbahi has not stopped working on behalf of Obama, though. He appeared at the luncheon to say that despite his official exit he was still "110%" behind Obama and that he was participating in campaign conference calls on Muslim outreach.
Stepping down was a "strategic decision," he told the audience. Asbahi declined to answer IBD questions clarifying his current role."



Perhaps....just maybe....I have missed something. He may still be working "on behalf of Obama" but this does not mean Obama has hired him back or is paying him. Everytime I post something on here or have conversation about Obama...I am "working" on behalf of him as well...this is one way to look at that statement.
110% behind Obama....I am 120% behind him...still doesn't mean he is working for him...just supports him.

As far as the conference calls...perhaps he was on the line representing the Muslim outreach instead of representing the Obama campaign. the fact that he would NOT comment about his current role may just mean he is embarrassed to have been asked to resign.

This is what I took from the article. Everyone interprets the written word differently. This was my interpretation.
Boy am I long winded today!!
