Obama Watch: “My job…”




Here’s the Obama quote of the day:

My job to the Mus­lim world is to com­mu­ni­cate that the Amer­i­cans are not your enemy.

–Obama’s inter­view with Al-Arabiya

Since when does the Pres­i­dent of the United States have an oblig­a­tion to any­one other than the Peo­ple of the United States??  I may be mis­taken, but doesn’t the oath of office say, “to pre­serve, pro­tect and defend the Con­sti­tu­tion of the United States”?  Nowhere in that oath does it lay an oblig­a­tion to any­one else.  The “Mus­lim world” did not elect him; the Amer­i­can peo­ple elected him (well, 52% of us, anyway).

This is absolutely out­ra­geous and scary.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t want the Pres­i­dent of this coun­try capit­u­lat­ing to the wishes of the Mus­lim world for their “accep­tance”.  Most of the peo­ple over there want us dead because we’re “infi­dels” to them.  Why should we care what they think of us?

The fact that our Pres­i­dent would use a Mus­lim tele­vi­sion out­let as his first Pres­i­den­tial inter­view begs more ques­tions.

    Are you retarded? Don’t you think that if we just keep treat­ing them like the enemy, they will con­tinue to be the enemy? Your Pres­i­dent is a leader of the world, He has to do his part to main­tain world order. How is address­ing the peo­ple that hate us a bad idea?

    Think about it. If we can show we aren’t the “infi­dels” they think we are…THEY WON’T (edited) FLY PLANES INTO OUR (edited) BUILDINGS! The was noth­ing “out­ra­geous” about this inter­view, and really you just wasted my time.

    J**** C***** (edited), he must be one of those (edited) Mus­lims! This proves it!

    Travis,

    Let me first say thanks for stop­ping by. Sec­ondly, I would appre­ci­ate it if you would read the com­ment pol­icy. I don’t appre­ci­ate the inflam­ma­tory lan­guage you’ve used in your com­ment. I took the lib­erty in edit­ing it out, since this is my blog.

    Now to address your — con­cerns. The whole point of this post was that Obama addressed the “Mus­lim world” before he addressed the peo­ple he was elected to rep­re­sent and protect.

    Well we aren’t con­vinc­ing them of any­thing by tor­tur­ing the shit out of peo­ple until they tell us what we want to hear. That I do know. Why hate on Obama for try­ing? It’s not like he addressed them pub­licly then behind the scenes was like ok lis­ten guys, I’m in the White House now, we can finally DESTROY THEM!!! Come on man. Use some logic when you think about things. We can just leave them alone and not address them, that obvi­ously didn’t work. Bomb­ing the shit out of their coun­try only recruits more sui­cide bombers, so why not try this angle. He’s not hand­ing over Amer­ica to the Mus­lims. He is just say­ing “I’m not Bush, and things are gonna be a lit­tle dif­fer­ent around here”

    I’m not the least bit sur­prised he ran to the Mus­lim world and started apol­o­giz­ing for the Evil Amer­ica — since he doesn’t believe him­self this coun­try is good. We would know this if the medai did their job — but no, now we are stuck with him for at least 4 more years. Oh, and he’s not the Pres­i­dent of the World — that is God

    You obvi­ously know about as much about Islam as the Pres­i­dent does, which is almost noth­ing. An “infi­del” is a non-believer in Islam. There will never be a way that we can “show we aren’t the ‘infi­dels’ they think we are.” We will always be infi­dels to them. Accord­ing to Islamic belief and the teach­ings of the Q’uran, infi­dels are worse than dogs and deserve to die. This is what they teach — why don’t you research it? Believe me, I have.

    And to address your last state­ment (I know you said it sar­cas­ti­cally), but I am begin­ning to believe that he never left what he was taught in the madrasah in Indone­sia. I ini­tially gave him the ben­e­fit of the doubt, but now he is show­ing his true col­ors — and they are disheartening.

    Yeah, I wrote “A” leader of the world. There are quite a few of them. And don’t bring that reli­gion bull into this. Reli­gion is the rea­son this is hap­pen­ing. If “god” was sit­ting up there in “heaven” rul­ing the world, why would this war be hap­pen­ing? Oh it’s all apart of god’s plan…god plan? Let me tell you what, your god’s plan SUCKS. Why don’t you wait more than a week before you start jump­ing to con­clu­sions. You both are ridiculous!
