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.
