I have the same feeling. They pegged Obama as a wimp.
They pegged Obama as a friend. That’s different.
At the beginning of the campaign, various Muslim nutcases began to issue statements supporting Obama. Then I recall reading one post that quoted something from an ME source where they realized that this was counterproductive, and that most Americans would not vote for somebody praised by, say, Osama. At that point, they began to go into their hate-the-great-Satan-doesn’t-matter-who’s-president song and dance.
It’s called taqiya, lying to the infidel for the purposes of Islam. They know he’s on their side - the fact that he got through his supposed major speech with never once saying the words “Islamic terrorism” is a pretty good clue - and he knows they know. All is well in Muslim land.
