In an interview with France's Paris Match on Thursday, Obama said, "I want to have direct talks with countries like Iran and Syria because I don't believe we can stabilize the region unless not just our friends but also our enemies are involved in these discussions."

I don't trust Obama,,,that middle name bothers me greatly!
I would not be surprised to see Obama getting an endorsement from Ahmadinijad.
I would not be surprised to see Obama getting an endorsement from al Quaeda, either.
You can’t negociate with people bent on your destruction.
The politics of surrender.
“What did we do that was wrong? What can we do to make you happy? How can we give your terrorist sympathizing governments more credibility?”
The terrorist on the street is going ot love this guy.

Questions came from presenters in MTV’s Times Square studio and from online and in-studio participants.
If I convene a meeting of Muslim leaders to try to bridge the divide between Islam and the West, I do so with the credibility of someone who lived in a Muslim country for four years when I was a child
Barack Obama Speaking in the forum, Mr Obama said that his multicultural heritage allows him to “see through the eyes of other people” abroad in ways another president could not.
“If I convene a meeting of Muslim leaders to try to bridge the divide between Islam and the West, I do so with the credibility of someone who lived in a Muslim country for four years when I was a child,” he said, referring to time spent in Indonesia.
“And although I’m a Christian I have a sense of that culture.”
Obama’s father was a Muslim. His stepfather was a Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim in his Indonesian school. He attended a mosque and studied the Qran.
According to Muslims, that makes him a Muslim, and the only way you can leave Islam is death.
Yet the Muslims all seem to like Obama, although he now says he is a Christian. No fatwahs have been issued condemning him for apostasy. I wonder why?
The Dhims are great at talking.
Too bad they’re just never good at doing or accomplishing much (except destroying freedom and America, raising taxes, weakening our defenses, etc.)
Barack “Jimmy” Obama. This guy would be even worse than Jimmy Carter when it comes to national defense. Doesn’t the Democratic Party have any strong defense hawk types in their ranks? Where are the Scoop Jacksons, Les Aspins, and Sam Nunns of the 21st century for the Dems? Can anyone honestly trust today’s Democratic Party with defending this country?
“Occupying the country has put the odds against us with the world,” Obama said.
All those countries against us had sweetheart deals with Saddam!
Sorry, sister, that dog ain't gonna hunt.
Obama, when you negotiate with them what can you offer them?
This guy desperately needs to be asked whether he would go to the mat for Israel — and it needs to be asked just that way.
Straight up or down answer. No ifs, ands or buts. Whichever answer he gives would sink him.
Is it just because you have a Muslim name or are you a fool?
The Obamination is Snivel Chamberlain..
And Bush looked into Putin’s eyes.....
Let me ask you this. Since our own intelligents estimate says there is NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGAM and since you can’t give an example of a single thing the sheites have done to this country (you probabay don’t know the difference with a Sunni) then what the hell would you do?
‘ Just bomb and occupy to stop “the spread on nuclear weapons”?
Send your money and your sons — not mine.
Of course you talk !!!

I agree. I like the name too... ;-)
On today's Roger Hedgecock Weekend show Roger asked the same question of a guest who is a lady (and MD) who left Syria, gave up Islam (and gets death threats continually), and now an American citizen in Los Angeles.
Her answer? Wait until he becomes president. Then you will see the radical Muslims' reaction. To the best of my recollection that was not pursued any further but I believe that the implication was that it would not be good, one way or the other.
What if the radical Islamic leaders consider President Obama an apostate? Will it be safe for him to meet alone with them? Only half-kidding.
traitor in need of redemption or something.
Have you stated campaining yet for Obama?
“you cant give an example of a single thing the sheites have done to this country “

Many thanks!
“You cant negociate with people bent on your destruction.”
Perhaps we shouldn’t negotiate with these people, but we certainly allow them into the country in droves. Just notice those ugly mosques sprouting everywhere like poisonous toadstools.
If I were an enemy of this nation I could only hope for an Obama presidency to snatch victory from defeat or to help advance my agenda of weakening America.
If your going to be a newbie troll I suggest you don't be stupid.
Try as an example taking 400 hundred of our citizens hostage. Maybe 200 hundred of our servicemen killed by a Hezbollah shiite suicide bomber is sufficient example. Or have you forgotten how dealing with Shiites with kids gloves helped get us into the current situation.
Yea, Obama going to bring us change. A change for the worse.

Now this is very very scary.
Barry ole boy, after you’ve sat down with your muzlim buddies and they regroup to yuk it up, what are you going to say to your moon glow followers, especially the youngsters, when you are forced to revise the draft? Naiveté will lead us down that path in a heartbeat.
So does that jihadist brother of his. Obama, Osama, one letter means not much....
