Hope he's keeping an eye out for flying shoes.
They know Obama means business, especially after he captured Osama!

Hilarious!

What happened to the obama the middle east would adore? I thought the "great uniter" would reset all those bad relationships (NOT!) and the world would love him. He not only has a lower approval rating than Bush with muslim countries, but he's alienated friends and allies and prostrated himself to our enemies.

He has been an utter disaster on foreign policy.

Allow me to draw a simple diagram for Sanrene's mental process.:


Did something bad happen that you can score a political point with?

Yes!

Did Bush or another right winger do it?.....Yes......."Then it doesn't matter. Stop being so shrill"

Did Obama do it? .....Yes......"This is like the most awful thing that ever happened!"




She was front and center telling us how unimportant Muslim public opinion is and now she he telling us important Muslim hearts and minds ore...LOL

Seems his community activism means nothign . Heck he has even include mnay in the US as his evil empire which we see the result in the evry people we need nt trustig him o anyhting.They stay hunkered down await him to leave as president.One year or four more they can wait;to see leadership they trust.

BTW, since when does having a popularity problem in the Middle East cause angst on behalf of right wingers? So you guys actually CARE about how Middle Easterners feel now?

Default Obama's Favorability Ratings In Arab World Less Than Bush's Ever Were

"Most Arab countries have a less favorable view of America under President Barack Obama than they had at the end of the George W. Bush administration, according to a new report from the Arab American Institute (AAI). AAI reported that Arab world opinion of the U.S. and President Obama — the man long heralded as the one to heal the wounds that the Bush administration had allegedly inflicted upon the Arab world — has dropped to an all time low. Based on the survey, which placed Obama’s favorable ratings across the Arab world at 10% or less, any hope that Obama could improve relations is all but gone."

Barack Obama | Arab World | Unfavorable | The Daily Caller

Now, it's not that I'm making a value judgment on whether "favorability" with the Arab world is good or bad with this post. I'm just saying that for a president who campaigned on doing a better job of of making nice with the Muslim countries in the Middle East (remember how they were going to sit down and TALK to our enemies) this is...odd.

Maybe the State Department should be on the chopping block to help the budget. Maybe he should fire Hillary Clinton and replace her with Joe Biden.

Maybe you'll get your wish. There is talk of Hillary running with Obama as the VP and Biden then going to the state department. If Bachmann or Palin come out on top of the Republican primaries we could see this switch up in the Democrats.
