Anyone else watching CNN and Obama's interview with al-Arabiya TV? |
|
Wow! He's getting rave reviews!

I wonder why it's not getting any notice anywhere else. Even CNN.com doesn't have anything on it.

4. Michael Savage noticed this to the point of meltdown on AM radio today... |
|
I expect the Freepers are all over it and I would expect Fox (and friends) to "discuss" it.
But true, I haven't seen much on the mainstream media.

11. Because Obama is blurring the line between black and while. Breaking down the binary. |

15. It "confirms" that he's really a Muslim and they think he's friends with bin Laden and other |
|
terrorists. You should read some of the comments there.

19. That's not how they see it. Here... |
|
some comments:
No surprise here. After all he's a "US" citizen, right? -------------------------
Did he have his White House Counsel Greg Craig right by his side to prompt him? ------------------------- No, but if Obama sits down too fast, he'll break Craig's arm at the elbow.......
-------------------------- I can't read the news anymore how is this guy President? This is an embarrassment. I would rather have Moqtada al-Sadr as President.
-------------------------
Hey, cut B. Hussein some slack. Nothing wrong with doing his first interview with the hometown TV station. -------------------
Allah akhbar!!! --------------------
I’m not saying he is a Muslim but if he were, the first things he would do as president would be:
1. Close Gitmo 2. Get the troops out of Iraq and declare unconditional defeat. 3. Stop all terrorist trials. 4. Repeal surveillance policies of possible terrorists. 5. Call in the Arab press for an apologetic. 6. Tell people getting Osama Bin Laden is not really important. 7. Make an outreach to terror supporting regimes like Syria. 8. Send an envoy to the Middle East before fixing US Economic problems. 9. Let’s see, what else?
I hope the Israelis kick Mitchell’s ass. ---------------------
General Ackbar too!

7. No joke, CNN could have had a huge night had they advertised this |
|
It's almost as if they don't want many people watching this.

20. He is breaking down a wall |
|
Well actually many, the fundamental Christians and the fundamental Muslims will go nuts. He is making the moderates realize how silly it is to 'hate' differences.
You can't be a fundamental unless you are mental!

26. "A man of supple intelligence....." |
|
As described by (I believe) the journalist who conducted the interview about Our President.
That was beautifully accurate.
