Barack Obama tells the Middle East: 'Americans are not your enemy'

US President Barack Obama has told the Muslim world that "Americans are not your enemy" and renewed his pledge to travel to make an address in the capital of a major Muslim nation.

In his first interview with Arab television since becoming president, Mr Obama told the al-Arabiya television that his administration would adopt a more comprehensive approach in its relations with the Muslim world.

He also said that Israel and the Palestinians should resume their peace negotiations and he praised Saudi King Abdullah for putting forward an Arab plan for peace in the Middle East.

Didn't they send us a message through 9/11? Burning the US flag and dancing on the streets? What is B. Hussein O smoking?

Hussein doesn’t think we are waging a war against Islamic terror- hence no enemies, all our friends.

Diplomacy 1.A.

Never, ever, apologize for being attacked.

For some strange reason, the name...Hussein...comes to mind BTW.

"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy - we sometimes make mistakes - we have not been perfect," Mr Obama said.

The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES said this????

Our nation was attacked by MUSLIMS and he is telling the MUSLIM world that we make mistakes, WE have not been perfect??

I am about to lose my friggin mind, we have elected a naive buffoon as POTUS

There are no enemies. We just need to understand those Bush told us were our enemies, a little better. It's all one big misunderstanding.

I saw the interview. A lot of word couching and fear on his part of offending or being offended. Obama showed Weakness and it could and probably will come back to haunt him and us!
