It’s going to be Bush-bashing on a regular basis and then the war crimes trials will start.

But aside from that, is there another president who has given his first TV interview to the official channel of Saudi Arabia? Maybe it’s their reward for 9/11. I think that tells us all where his loyalties lie.

Once again I disagree with Zero. The murdering, lying cult of islam is indeed the enemy and will be until they are eradicated.

Has it gone from “we will prevent you from attacking us” to “you no longer have any reason to attack us?”

That's what I think. This was the message to them.

“We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

A free press would immediately and relentlessly press the administration to identify what those mistakes were. This is absolutely their role in a free and open society.

Of course they won't. Instead they will continue to play the role as press office to the new administration.

His first interview is for the islamic press.

I can't believe he snubbed the Europeans like that.

“I expected this kind of childishness. I expect his poll numbers to continually dip.”

Did you hear what that doofus said re: the Middle East the other day? He said “It’s about time America started listening and stopped dictating.”

Didn't Bush try to tell the world the same thing? I thought Bush was trying to guide the people from taking their anger out towards Muslims. Hence, the term War on Terror, not the War on Muslims.

He acts as though he really does not get it.

We did not do anything to these people other than be non muslim.

He needs to read up the history so he can understand the convert or die idea.

I was told by a guy from Pakistan many years ago that he could be in trouble being friends and hanging out with western girls. Told me a lot.

“I’ve said from the beginning he’s not my president and within just a few days he’s already giving me plenty of reasons confirming the correctness of my belief.”

Ditto.

See, all the lefties out there will be singing his praises. They will be convinced that if the Muzzies just knew we were all really nice people, they wouldn’t want to kill us!

And they will continue thinking that while another attack happens and the Muzzies don’t care to ask who voted for Obama and who didn’t.

He knows perfectly well that idea and concept. He was TRAINED IN THAT CONCEPT.

People, don’t think his time in a Muslim School, every day, for FIVE YEARS OF HIS FORMATIVE YEARS were like our Sunday School class with learning how great God is to all people and juice and cookies.

He learned exactly what the Islamic goals are and he is helping to fulfill them.

For a while, I myself thought it was silly to see him as a closet Muzzie, but I have since rescinded my thoughts. His first week in office have confirmed my fears.
