Obama doesn't need to cowtow to other religions, since Islam is the only one that seems to be in a perpetual rage and hell bent on killing all other religions
Obama knows for him to be a successful POTUS, he has an historic opportunity, at least in his own mind, to "fix" the ME problem that has plagued all other POTUS
After all, he has the heart of a Muslim so he thinks he can fix the problem
Ike couldn't "Fix it", Johnson couldn't "Fix It", Nixon couldn't fix it, James Earl Carter messed it up more that it had been, Reagan couldn't "Fix It", Bush I couldn't "Fix It", The Bent One couldn't "Fix It", Bush II made a good start, but he couldn't "Fix It" either. It's the height of arrogance for The One, The Messiah, to believe he can "Fix It". It's broken more Presidents than any other single issue.
But some left our country in a better possition for the effort. BHO is on track to a larger, much larger, disaster than even James Earl Carter.
