Exactly like a kid who was abandoned by his parents...

Remember how Richard Nixon told us to watch what he does, not what he says? Good advice. Well, Barack Obama — our POTUS who makes Nixon and Clinton seem like Diogenes — thinks like a postmodern agnostic, professes to be a Christian, but acts like a Shiite.
During Obama’s presidency the influence of Ayatollah Khamenei’s Iranian Shiite regime has spread across the world like the proverbial wildfire, reaching from North Africa into Iraq, Lebanon (via Hezbollah), Syria (via Assad whose red line on chemical weapons famously faded into invisibility), Gaza (via improved relations with Hamas) and now into Yemen (via the Houthis) and undoubtedly a number of other places, including Venezuela, North Korea and Cuba. And our president, consciously or unconsciously or both, has had as much to do as anyone with the creation of this nascent, soon-to-be nuclear armed and missile-ready fundamentalist “Greater Persia.” No wonder the Sunni Saudis are alarmed — they have been for a long time — and no wonder Obama suddenly decided to replace Biden in paying a condolence visit to Riyadh for the death of King Abdullah. He has some powerful fence-mending to do that pretend bowing and scraping may not so easily solve.
Much of this Iran-coddling began back when the Green Movement was in the streets of Tehran seeking the overthrow of the ayatollahs and chanting “Obama, Obama… Are you with us or are you with them?” Our president did not respond. He was already in private communication with the bizarre Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Obama wanted to be the one who got credit for reining in the excesses of the Islamic Republic, not those unruly student demonstrators who were the ones suffering from the regime in the first place, being murdered, tortured and raped in Evin Prison, often in reverse order.
Indeed, this unconscionable and out-of-control narcissism has been the key to Obama’s foreign policy throughout and accounts for the catastrophic global results we see in front of us now. The “leading from behind” mantra has always been a fraud, masking what it really means “I, Barack, know best and manipulate affairs from behind.” It’s all about me. (Is it ever!)
Now I realize Obama is not really a Shiite. He was raised in Sunni Indonesia. And, yes, Sunnis — notably ISIS, Boko Haram and AQAP — are leading the way in the public butchery department for the moment and need to be opposed with all our might. But that doesn’t mean Shiites are not active. Just the other day we had the mysterious Buenos Aires death of Alberto Nisman who was about to reveal truths about the 1994 bombing of the Jewish community center in that city in which 85 were killed — a kind of simultaneous beheading in which Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah are said to be the culprits. Almost anyone honest and awake knows the Islamic Republic is and has been the primary state sponsor of terrorism world wide for decades.
Yet Obama persists in playing sides in a literally insane Shiite-Sunni religious conflict that has gone on so long it makes the Hundred Years’ War seem like the three-week invasion of Grenada. (Interestingly, in a January 20 column, “Say It Like It Is,” Thomas Friedman finally breaks the New York Times omertà on radical Islam, saying the president is wrong for not naming the enemy. But in doing so, Friedman isolates the violence as almost all coming from Arab and Pakistani Sunnis, giving the president continued cover to appease Iran.) The reason for Obama’s persistence is not religious, but the aforementioned narcissism. He had already plighted his troth on a pax Iranian. Making it easier was his longtime conviction that Western imperialism was the root cause of most evil on the planet anyway. The president now has an Iran deal so tied up in his mind with his legacy that the appearance of Netanyahu in front of Congress opens a psychological wound so large Obama is likely to do almost anything. The world — not just Saudi Arabia and Israel — had better beware.

sunni as the day is long,
He’s an evil fly infested thing, and that unclean spirit is being allowed to make inroads into America,
I don’t think it will be stopped, there’s not enough people in this country awake and aware enough to oppose it in a manner that will halt its demonic advance,

Malignant Narcissists tend to go ape-shiite when they are challenged.
Any bets on when the Sultan goes to Teheran?
Bookmarked.
I have phrased your summary a little bit differently - as a “Hierarchy of Hatred” but want to continue that thought.
Other than this thread, is there a list of what Muslim countries and governments have been overthrown sicne Obola took office, and what Muslim terrorist groups have grown up/blown up since he took office?
Related, other than this thread, which Muslim groups are Sunni/linked to Saudi Arabia; and which are Iranian sponsored/Shittie?
He’s going to Riyadh because apparently he figured out that there’s a Saudi king he hadn’t bowed to yet.
Do share!
Maybe Obama tries to be all things to all Muslims a great unifier of sort, his ego is big enough to handle being the Caliph.

Only HE can resolve 1400 years of this.
[and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

The vast majority of Muslims in Kenya follow the Sunni Islam of Shafi school of jurisprudence and 99% of Indonesian Muslims are Sunni, also of the Shafi school.
Obama is a non-practicing Sunni Muslim, but is sympathetic to all forms of Islam over everything else.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

“The Sunnis are a bigger threat than the Sunnis.”
That’s not possible.
Seriously, though, the Sunni threat is purely religious, fragmented, and far more fanatical. The Shite threat is nationalist, coalesced, and far more sophisticated.
I'm not sure whether he is a Communist fronting off as a Moo to keep the long-running Soviet-Arab-Nationalist gig going (the Sovs were sponsors of both Syria's and Iraq's Ba'athists, and the Nasserites of Egypt, including Anwar Sadat, until the CIA showed him what the KGB had in store for him and Egypt as a fully-digested Soviet satellite), or whether he is a Islamo-America-Hater who plays to the Sovs and American Communists because that's his educational background, and because in the wider world, Arabs and Soviets played footsie all over the world (just like some Arabs did with the Nazis before that).
I think the last time I joined in with FReepers considering that thesis divergence, I was with the people who said, no, the Moslem thing is a put-on, he's really a Communist (and probably atheist-instrumentalist).
Comments? Rebuttal?
Jeez-O-Freek!
Uuuuuhhhh... Thanks for posting.
See my posts above about his Communism and his Communist, often atheist, friends.
I do believe his demonstrations re Islam are tactical and strategic, but not core. He doesn't really "live there".
