MJ..."Weasels know to not say 'promise' they do it in a different way----------they can then say "oh but I never promised"."... Maybe they cross their fingers...like little kids do...do little kids still do that? What I find truly amazing is that democrats/liberal/socialist or whatever they should be called will lie to your face even when they know that you know they lie. They do this without shame or guilt of any kind. Truly dangerous creatures to have any political power or control over other citizens.

Standoff! Nation of Islam confronts Secret Service President's men in testy showdown with Farrakhan mansion security May 30, 2010 Stewart Stogel © 2010 WorldNetDaily wnd.com NEW YORK – Secret Service agents and security officers of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam engaged in what the White House called a "standoff" near President Barack Obama's Chicago home last night. Obama, who is spending the holiday weekend in Chicago, decided to pay a visit to a friend, Marty Nesbitt, for an old-fashioned barbeque. Nesbitt, however, is a neighbor to the controversial Farrakhan, and that is when problems began. According to White House press pool reports obtained by WND, a group of reporters were staking out the Obama family and were holding on a city street in front of the Farrakhan mansion. At one point, the Secret Service allowed reporters off the van they were traveling in to get some fresh air. About a dozen journalists congregated on the sidewalk in front of the Farrakhan home, which quickly prompted a visit by a so-called "polite man," who asked the group "to stay off the grass," though the White House pooler insisted they were on city property. The Farrakhan agent eventually asked the accompanying Secret Service officer to "move the van and its occupants," an interaction that soon escalated to a contest of machismo between Nation of Islam officers and the Secret Service. The on-duty Secret Service officer identified himself as such and assured the Farrakhan agent, "We will do nothing to interfere with whatever is going on in there." But shortly thereafter, three more people emerged from the Farrakhan mansion wearing T-shirts reading "Wide or Die." One of the three was described by a press pooler as "staring daggers at us." See what it's going to take to stop CAIR and the "Muslim Mafia" from Islamizing America! Meanwhile, as evening approached, the Obama family continued to enjoy their Memorial Day party, unaware of what was going on just outside. By 8 p.m., the Farrakhan group ballooned to a dozen men, who began chanting "Islam" and photographing the White House reporters, their van and its license plate. One man approached the reporters, but was intercepted by the Secret Service agent, who asked him "to please move away from this group of people." The man did. The White House press pool was advised by the Secret Service to get back into their parked van, and shortly thereafter, three Secret Service reinforcements arrived. They, in turn, were met by 10 additional Farrakhan followers, bringing the total to four Secret Service agents versus 22 Nation of Islam representatives. The situation has been described in White House emails as "a standoff." It was never clear whether any or all of the Farrakhan representatives were armed. At around 10:15 p.m. a self-described friend of Farrakhan, the Rev. Gary Hunter, a Detroit minister who heard about the Chicago standoff, claimed he phoned the controversial Nation of Islam leader and his son. Hunter said of Farrakhan: "He said he didn't know you all were just waiting for the president." By 10:30 p.m., Obama left and the reporters returned to their hotel, defusing the situation. Former United States Ambassador John Bolton called the incident "unbelievable." Neither the White House nor the Secret Service offered comment on the standoff.
