The Islamists certainly wanted 0b0z0 to beat Hillary then McCain. They knew he’s the weakest candidate ever.
In spite of the self-proclaimed world citizenship and intellectualism, the 0b0z0 regime doesn’t know or comprehend one important aspect of dealing with Islamists; the regime is despised by Arabs and Islamists who consider them weaklings and cowards!
I suspect that 0b0z0 is also disrespected by most world leaders, even though most do not advertise it. Friends don’t trust him to have their backs and foes don’t fear him even if he appears to be on their backs. Case in point, Iranians are slapping his face (that’s also ours, I’m afraid!) on daily bases and daring him to try to stop them.
No wonder, in the eyes of many world leaders of all stripes, Obama is now considered an Omama, The Emasculated One.
bases should be basis.
