And what else would one reasonably expect from a "Barack Hussein Obama", a man who can and does recite the adhan to the New York Times?

From "Obama: Man of the World", March 6, 2007:

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

“I was a little Jakarta street kid”.
Oh, you gotta love that rancid self-memorializing.
As if he’s continually in the process of conveying
his mythical biography to whatever ears will listen.
The Left is good at this: Bill Clinton probably provided
one good example per week:
My favorite chunk of puke from Clinton, delivered in a misty-eyed miasma of self-regard in a speech to acolytes, as he was endorsing Al Gore’s bid for President:
“Fifty four years ago this week,I was born in a summer storm to a young widow in a
small southern town”.
I will never forget the look of total self-love on his face as he uttered those words: even Joe Biden couldn’t top it.
