Obama's vanity shines through

By SALIM MANSUR 7th February 2009

President Barack Hussein Obama's first major international interview, given to Al-Arabiya, the Middle East television network, did not come as a surprise.

Nor was it a surprise that the new occupant of the White House, displaying his rhetorical skills, attempted to placate the Arab streets and Arab leaders by indicating the Obama administration will restore "respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago."

It is only a leader as vain as Obama, surrounded by a sycophantic and genuflecting mainstream media, who would indulge in such sophistry.

He’s going to make the Arabs (and the Saudis...or are they the same guys? I get corn-fused...) a BOATLOAD of cash...AT AMERICA’S EXPENSE.

For those DUers lurking from home: That’s you and me, the tax-paying SAPS.

Quote me now and hate me later. ;)

Far right - White Guy and Black Guy -

White Guy: Is He Having A Problem?
Black Guy: Don't Know. I Saw Him Do It In Front Of Soros.
White Guy: How High Did He Rise Up?
Black Guy: Bumped His Head On The Ceiling!

OK so we know he didn’t take any economics at the U and now it appears he didn’t take any history either.
Hard to tell since records are all sealed.

The Toronto Sun is a little slow...most of us saw his "vanity shine through" shortly after he was nominated.

President BOY, a.k.a. "The Kenyan", is a highly superficial human being, playing whatever role he fills for his own aggrandizement and enrichment.

He has finally found acceptance among his black constituency after being deserted by his black father and black stepfather and left in the hands of a white grandmother.

Now is his chance to "show'em"...sic'em.

Interesting to see this in a mainstream Canadian newspaper, in a generally liberal city.

It is strange how many chin up, nose up, eyes closed photos there are of Obama. Perhaps its his default position.

Thirty years ago another Democrat, Jimmy Carter, was in the White House when an anti-American revolution rent asunder Iran under the Shah and pushed the entire region in the direction of Islamism, with the situation gone from bad to worse.

There was the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union, an Islamist bid to overthrow the Saudi monarchy with the siege of Mecca, the Lebanese slide into civil war, the murder of Egypt's president Anwar Sadat by Islamists, and American diplomats held hostage in Tehran for over a year by Iran's clerical regime.

Surely 0bama isn't stoned to the bone ignorant of history. He must just consider those the good old days.

His mother dumped him too. You left that out. 0baby was a burden to her preventing her from helping the world’s oppressed and downtrodden.
