Exactly! His ignorance on a lot of things would be on full display if we had an honest media.
Anyone who heard or read O’s speech in the Indian parliament never heard of a veto for an Indian seat other than this author. His undersecretary of state also declined to go into the specifics on any possible timeline or possible powers of any new members.

Beside’s O just mentioned what every US president since Clinton has expressed regarding expansion of the UNSC-vague suppor.
At some point, the Corporate Media is going to respond, because he is now damaging Corporate interests with his potentially dangerous combination of vast ignorance and unrestrained arrogance!
Pakistan government was behind the 2008 terrorist attack. They are to help us find terrorists?
35,000+ acts of terror since 9/11 from the “religion of peace.”
57 states. Breathalyzer. Austrian. Obama sans TelePrompTer has more gaffs than George W. But we won’t see Letterman joke about Zero.
Ironically, the lack of sense of humor from Zero — in general and particularly about himself — adds to the alienating effect of his personality. The more Americans are exposed to Obama, the less they like him.
As far as Islam & India are concerned, there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan. Also, India intervened to help Bangladesh secure its independence from Pakistan; they have a very different relationship with those Muslims than the ones to the west.
That being said, it really isn’t a place where anyone thinks there is anything “peaceful” about Islam. Obama should just shut his mouth, and show his hoops prowess or something.
The only course that Obama passed in school was: I hate the USA.
The Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent mainly took place from the 12th century onwards, though earlier Muslim conquests made limited inroads into the region, beginning during the period of the ascendancy of the Rajput Kingdoms in North India, although Sindh and Multan were captured in 8th century.Throughout its history the Indian subcontinent (encompassing modern-day Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) has been frequently subject to invasion, from the North-West by Central Asian nomadic tribes and the Persian Empire. With the fall of the Sassanids and the arrival of the Caliphates, these regions were integrated into Muslim dynasties of Central Asian heritage; initially Turkic people and later Mongol and Turco-Mongol people. Unlike earlier conquerors who assimilated into prevalent social systems, Muslim conquerors retained their Islamic identity and created legal and administrative systems that challenged and destroyed existing systems of social conduct, culture, religious practices, lifestyle and ethics.
The first foray by the new Muslim successor states of the Sassanid Empire occurred around 664 CE during the Umayyad Caliphate, led by Al Muhallab ibn Abi Suffrah towards Multan in Southern Punjab, in modern day Pakistan. Muhallab's expeditions were not aimed at conquest, though they penetrated only as far as the capital of the Maili, he returned with wealth and prisoners of war. This was an Arab incursion and part of the early Umayyad push onwards from the Islamic conquest of Persia into Central Asia, and within the limits of the eastern borders of previous Persian empires. The last Arab push in the region would be towards the end of Umayyad reign under Muhammad bin Qasim, after whom the Arabs would be defeated by the Rajputs at the Battle of Rajasthan in 738, and Muslim incursions would only be resumed under later Turkic and Afghan dynasties with more local capitals, who supplanted the Caliphate and expanded their domains both northwards and eastwards.
It took several centuries for Islam to spread across India and how it did so is a topic of intense debate. Some quarters hold that Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam by the establishment of Jizya and Dhimmitude favoring Muslim citizens, and the threat of naked force.
Obama is truly a fool.

What on earth is an American President doing visiting a foreign state and lecturing school children on Islam? How does that advamce US interests?
“a million casualties”
PC talk for murders by Hindi and Muslims of each other
As Churchill warned.
I’m trying to decide what’s bigger, his stupidity or his ignorance.
Alas, our author, Mr. Filozof, is really not much better on that score.
Obama is not mouthing "PC sentiments." This sort of thing is his narcissism at work.
And it's not just Obama's ignorance. I always thought that visits to foreign nations, and statements a US president might make in foreign nations, were all planned and reviewed by experts in the cultures and histories of the nation being visited - so as to avoid such displays of ignorance.
But apparently not. All his nonsensical remarks about Islam seems to be nothing more than Ivy League political correctness and multicultural nonsense taken as if it were true.
Zero’s India-Indonesia trip is doing what his European trips have done - the more that people see of him, the more they realize what a colossal fool he is.
Obama will be the poster child in the future for why we should NEVER elect inexperienced amateurs with no experience in business or life to run a country. I had hoped that we had learned that lesson with Carter. Obama proves me wrong!! :-(
