[b]President's first interview since taking office Obama tells Al Arabiya peace talks should resume[/b]

In his [i]first interview since taking office[/i], President Barack Obama told Arab satellite station Al Arabiya that Americans are not the enemy of the Muslim world and said Israel and the Palestinians should resume peace negotiations.

“My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy,” Obama told Al Arabiya’s Hisham Melhem in an interview broadcast Tuesday morning.

“My job to the Muslim world”

and

“My muslim faith”

[ScottinVA]

“Noticed he played the muslim card? “muslim relatives, muslim ancestors”?

And nary a word about “muslim ancestors” said or acknowledged during the campaign.

“How long before the rest of the country realizes they got duped?”

Probably never happen. I don’t think there’s enough intellectual capacity or focus among the electorate.

It is one thing to be an infidel. It is quite another to be a traitor to the cause. Most of the Islamic world views Obie as a Muslim. He knows this and is just trying to keep a price off his head.
