Earlier Wednesday Obama was in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, issuing a call for trust and cooperation. Obama and his wife, Michelle, visited the Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia. He noted that it was under construction when he lived in Indonesia as a boy from 1967 to 1971. Obama made a strikingly personal appeal to the Muslim world to join the West in the battle to defeat al-Qaida and violent extremism. "Let me begin with a simple statement: Indonesia is part of me," he said in the language, cheering the audience of more than 6,000 mostly young people at the University of Indonesia. He acknowledged the fraying that remains in U.S.-Islamic relations despite his best efforts at repair. He urged both sides to look beyond "suspicion and mistrust" to forge common ground against terrorism. Obama praised this nation of islands for progress in rooting out terrorists and combatting violent extremism, and he resurrected a theme he sounded last year during visits to Turkey and Egypt: "I have made it clear that America is not and never will be at war with Islam. ... Those who want to build must not cede ground to terrorists who seek to destroy."

What kind of American would name their child “Barack Hussein” in the first place?
“Obama: Strong US economy key to global recovery”
True, sadly however his administration opposes this.
Laughable.
His own Mom, from the grave, documenting that he's not a US citizen.
Surely you’ve heard what celebrities name their children.
It’s his “ich bin ein berliner!” moment
