An Obama-Hater for Clinton, Temporarily

Meet Todd Appelbaum, a 46-year-old from Columbus, who wore a shirt that says “Osama for Obama” to the Clinton campaign’s election-night event in Ohio last night.

The white t-shirt, with an image of Barack Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb, is adorned with a blue Hillary Clinton button, although Appelbaum is not what one would call a real Hillary Clinton supporter.

“I voted for Hillary today,” he said, “because I’m concerned that, God forbid, Barack Obama will beat McCain. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

The Obama camp can only pray that more racists and bigots like this guy will go pro-Hillary. Hopefully as loudly as possible.

Of course, if the going gets real tough, I have no doubt Bill & Hillary will stoop to this level of mudslinging. They are, in my opinion, two of the most spineless politicians of our time.

The demagoguing of Obama with racist smears, to put fear into the Jewish community, has been the lasting disgrace of this election.

I place equal blame on Hillary's campaign along with the usual right-wing nutjobs.

I'm a Hillary supporter and the man in this article is an idiot and racist who also supports McCain in the end. However I wish the Hillary campaign could have thrown him out, since there's no place for this in her campaign and I'm sure if they had been aware that he was there probably would have, even though it's a free country and he has a right to be there.

Well, well, well. So much for the evil, racist Republicans.

I think this guy needs to examine what he means by the word "enemy."

If Obama loses the nomination, which looks unlikely at this point, I'd swallow that mouthful of steamy chud and vote Clinton.

Lord knows the last thing this country needs is more entrenched politicians. (I'll take my chances on the new guy without hesitation--knowing full well that ANYONE with ambition enough to rise to the leader of this country should be forbidden from doing so.) But it cannot be rationally argued that McCain is less of an "enemy" to the American people than Clinton.

How one could view Obama as an "enemy" to the American people while our citizens die every week and are coming back injured by the transport-plane full in this purposeless war--which could go on "for a hundred years, if necessary," from policies McCain AND Clinton both voted for just gives me a headache.

Todd Appelbaum, please pull your head from wherever it is located and attempt an independent thought.

You are a danger to everyone who ever decides to serve their country.

Ya know I work for this guy and it never ends. People he will never change. I'd say more but that would most likely give me away. I just love that people see what I have to deal with everyday. Just wanted to give a comment from somebody who really knows him.

Here is video of this vile man from ABC:

ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper report: A controversial party guest was spotted at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's election night party in Columbus, Ohio Tuesday.

He was hard to miss. He was the one wearing the "Osama for Obama" t-shirt.

Columbus resident Todd Elbaum told ABC News his friend makes the t-shirts.

Elbaum did not hold back on his views of Obama when he was interviewed by ABC within full view of a Clinton staffer.

"The truth is he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim, his mother married a Muslim after divorcing his father. His grandfather was a Muslim. It doesn't matter. But what does matter is when Obama said he was never a Muslim. He was a Muslim. He was born a Muslim. He was a Muslim for six years of his life," Elbaum said.

Watch the VIDEO HERE.
