US President-elect Barack Obama will try to "reboot America's image" among the world's Muslims and will follow tradition by using his entire name, Barack Hussein Obama, in his swearing-in ceremony, he was quoted as saying in an interview published Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
He pledged anew to give such a speech, though he declined to say whether it would happen during his first year in office.
"It's something I intend to follow through on," Obama said in the interview.
"We've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular. So we need to take advantage of that."
Obama said his message would be two-fold: that his administration will be unyielding in stamping out terrorist extremism but also "unrelenting in our desire to create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership with countries."
"I think the world is ready for that message," he said in the interview, conducted Tuesday.
During the campaign, Obama repeatedly faced questions about whether he is a Muslim, particularly in whisper campaigns that noted his middle name, that his father is Kenyan, and that he lived for a time as a child in Indonesia.

Yeah, he’s going to start by giving them George Bush.
Perhaps rebooting the US as a Muslim Nation would help, but short of that...
I wish we could Fdisk his predidency
Maybe he can reboot the victims of 9/11 too.
I just wonder if he will be bringing his presidential prayer mat with him, and will it have a seal on it.
Shaking my head again.
“Obama said his message would be two-fold: that his administration will be unyielding in stamping out terrorist extremism but also “unrelenting in our desire to create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership with countries.”
Well, that is exactly what George W. Bush did do. BO thinks we are stupid.
How about muslims re-boot (or just boot) their image by condemning radical Islamists and leading by example how to be good citizens of the world.
Is he going to use a Bible or koran?
It won’t work. Not enough dhimmi in our MBR.
Rebooting America’s image? Does he have the original install disks?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go ahead 0, stick your neck out for the muslims and see what happens.
bingo...let’s reboot our image with people who purposely flew planes into buildings and killed 3000 innocent people then cheered about it....
what an effin joke....
> Is he going to use a Bible or koran?
He’ll use the Little Red Book.
You got a point. The “man” shows much reverence and shame for the benefit of muslims. They must be elated in terrordom... or should I say terror-soddom.
Hey bambi how about we just boot you out of America!
