You are confusing talking about fellow Americans and prejudice among American neighbors, with running military operations in Africa and siding with the enemy, as President?
Come on now, get real.
Get real? Ok. Here is a real quote. I do not believe that Obama sides with America, neither as president, nor in what little we know of his previous life. He clearly adores the Muslim Brotherhood, banned for extremist Islamist during the 3 years I lived in Cairo.
Actual quote from “Dreams from My Father” [pg. 100-101]: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed necolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois societys stifling constraints. We werent indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated. But this strategy alone couldnt provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

All concerns of men go wrong when they wish to cure evil with evil.

Uhh, sure.
Iraq: French refused to even hold our hats while we fought.
Afghanistan: French have been moderately useful.
Libya: French went to war to preserve and expand Total's (French oil company) stake in Libyan oil. We bail out the French, who found that their military could not handle the Libyans, even with the feeble aid of the Brits. After we bomb KaDaffy into defeat for the French, KaDaff's Tuareg mercenaries take their guns home to Mali and take over the place for Al Queda.
Yeah, Al Queda needs to be defeated in Mali. Yeah, I trust Holland to make a better effort to do so than BO. Yeah, we ought to help defeat Al Queda. But because it is in our best interests, not because the French have any great moral right to our resources.
Hey all you Europeans who loved Obama - get used to it.
After France, it will be Briain that gets stiffed when the Argentines try to take the Falklands again.
Then the Philipines when China takes a few islands, then the Dutch when Chavez takes Curacao and Aruba.
You love the guy - suck it up.
