This guy is going to be the biggest Islamic ass kisser that the world has seen. Obviously he is too dumb to see that appeasement is why the problem is across the world.

The US media that slobbered all over Obama gets stiffed again.

The media must feel like they are on the receiving end of a one-night stand.

Why wouldn’t he do his first interview with an A-Rab rag. Muslims want to hear what the muslim president is going to say.

I can’t for the life of me understand why some people don’t believe he’s a muslim.

0bama’s first phone call to Mahmoud Abbas and his first tv interview was to Al-Arabiya. I would be feeling nervous if I was living in Israel.
