(Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Wednesday much more needs to be done to repair frayed U.S. relations with the Muslim world in an acknowledgement of the difficulties in eradicating "years of mistrust."

In a speech culminating a nostalgic visit to Indonesia, where Obama spent four years as a young boy, Obama spoke fondly of his formative years in the world's most populous Muslim country.

Obama said Indonesia served as a powerful example as an emerging democracy working to develop its economy and a Muslim nation that is tolerant of other religions.

Right....

That’s exactly what I was going to say.

It’s much easier to improve relations with people when they’re not trying to whack your head off.

I was just sitting here thinking: “Man, it’d be great if we had better Muslim ties, and I need a beer to enjoy with my dog while I eat this bacon and speak to women outside of my family.”

-—”...more effort needed to improve Muslim ties...”-—

He’s right! We definitely need to see more effort from the Muslims to improve their ties with us.

So Obama flew “home” after getting his butt kicked here in the US and continues to push “his” own Muslim agenda! I’m sick of the political correctness - Islam is no religion, it’s a theocracy and a hate mongering, militaristic based terrorist group that needs to be expunged from America! IT IS NOT A RELIGION! Refer to OK as to who is fighting whom! I hope we write the GOP in congress and get them to DEFUND and EXPEL C.A.I.R. right out the the US!

Muslims are very much in favor of producing better ties for the US. This one could use alot of improvement... it looks just awful.

This one looks pretty decent though...

Maybe Obama should tell the missus not to touch men she is not related to. It is creating an issue in Indonesia that she shook hands with some man there.

Obama does not know what he is doing. That is why he went to India. It is a fake trip. It is a dodge.

Does a Muslim tie look more like an ascot or a cravat?

LOL. Actually, a Muslim tie looks more like a halter and bit that you would put on a horse.
