I must admit I had always seen Obama as a Saudi asset...I was wrong. It’s worse.

I think Obama is a Sunni, technically, because that’s the most dominant form in Indonesia, where he attended a madrassa. The Saudis are Sunnis, and the Iranians are Shiites, so probably his tendency would be to support the Saudis.

However, in practice he supports whatever country is most hostile to the US, which at the moment would be Iran.

Also, I think he sees himself as a figure who can unify Islam and form Muslims into a solid bloc that would attack the West as one.

The Obama admin is backing Iran as the regional super power in the Mideast. They are throwing the Saudi’s under the bus in the process which may not end up well for the dollar if they decide to price oil otherwise.

He is with the Muslim Brotherhood who are sworn enemies of Egypt, Jordan, the House of Saud and of course Israel.

The Iranians are also sworn enemies of these countries so it makes sense that Obama finds common ground if not fellowship with them. The clear pattern and picture is starting to emerge.
