But they also wrote that Obama should now use his post to more actively engage in the world, strengthening ties with Germany and Europe, but especially in the Middle East. …

Obama already has ties to the Middle East.

Even Thomas Friedman on Charlie Rose Mon night said that Obama’s grandfather was a Muslim.
