Obama displayed 'weakness' in Arab TV interview
OneNewsNow ^ | Jan. 29, 2009 | Chad Groening

A Middle East expert says President Barack Obama show ed weakness during a recent interview on an Arab television network.

"The mistake that President Obama [made] is not only going on Al-Arabiya, but talking in a way that made the United States look bad by saying to them that America needs to listen instead of always dictating," says Gabriel.

The former broadcast journalist says that sends the "wrong message" to terrorists -- an element she contends truly hates America "no matter how nice we try to appear."

"This sends a message to the radical Islamists...that America is weak, [that] America does not want to fight [and] cannot fight; and [that] this is why we are going to them begging for them to like us."

The emperor is betraying the U.S. and her military.

(not that he cares, ‘cause in spite of the naysayers I still doubt his citizenship and loyalty to the nation in which he is President)

“nice” don’t count with the muzzies. My French teacher explained that to us in 1974

All that Islamo moola to get Obama elected is paying off big-time.

They’ve got their servile lackey in the White House. Falling over himself to “talk” to the Arab press to offer an American “Mae Culpa.”

No, they do like them—but not in a way that I can mention here...(ever see Lawrence of Arabia and his encounter with the Turkish Colonel?)

I understand they like them young and fair skinned.

WEAKNESS IS PROVOCATIVE

True of probably every country, but most especially this one. People like Obama will never learn.

This is more than it appears on the surface.

John Rothman at kgo.com radio attempted to discuss this and the Iran letter telling Obama to stop support of Israel on his program.

You can get his program as a podcast, he said, it is the second and third hours of the Saturday night program.

I knew that there were many liberals that support the Hamas attacks on Israel.....I did not realize that there were so many Hamas voices willing to phone a radio program and rant as if they were on the streets of Gaza.

It is worth hearing the program, if you want to know what the real danger is to us, about half the callers had mid-eastern voices, [as I recall, I was not counting], there were several that John had to cut off the air, they went too far with their hate of Israel and were raving mad fools.

John kept asking for discussion on the Iranian letter and what it meant, he got “hate Israel”.

John is a liberal, but he is also Jewish and intelligent enough to take the time to listen to his views on Israel and other subjects.

The first hour was spent on how to get your book published.

Well of course he displayed weakness...he is weak...and a phony, and spineless, and muslim, and crooked, and islamic...

And now that he's leading this country, we too are seen as weak.

I'm very very glad that neither I nor anyone in my immediate family live anywhere near a high value target.
