Obama The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers Plans To Reach Out To Muslim World
Barack Obama plans to reach out to Muslim world
In exclusive interview, he says he plans to be sworn in like every other president, using his full name: Barack Hussein Obama
By Christi Parsons, John McCormick and Peter Nicholas
Barack Obama says his presidency is an opportunity for the U.S. to renovate its relations with the Muslim world, starting the day of his inauguration and continuing with a speech he plans to deliver in an Islamic capital.
And when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20, he plans to be sworn in like every other president, using his full name: Barack Hussein Obama.
"I think we've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,'' Obama said Tuesday, promising an "unrelenting" desire to "create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of good will who want their citizens and ours to prosper together."
The world, he said, "is ready for that message."
He also made it clear that, even as he plans his move to Washington, his heart will remain in Chicago. His "Kennebunkport" will be the South Side, Obama said, and he pledged to return at least every couple months for some family down time.
The conversation was his first with a newspaper since his election on Nov. 4, and it came just hours after Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on a federal conspiracy complaint. The complaint alleges that Blagojevich essentially tried to auction off the appointment to replace Obama in the U.S. Senate, but the president-elect declined to speak about any discussions between his representatives and those of the governor, a fellow Democrat.
Obama said he never has spoken personally to Blagojevich about his possible replacement, either before or since his victory. Shortly after the interview ended Tuesday afternoon, Obama's transition office released a statement saying top adviser David Axelrod misspoke last month when he said Obama had talked with Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy.
Obama said the country must take advantage of a unique chance to recalibrate relations around the globe, through a new diplomacy that emphasizes inclusiveness and tolerance as well as an unflinching stand against terrorism.
"The message I want to send is that we will be unyielding in stamping out the terrorist extremism we saw in Mumbai," Obama said, adding that he plans to give a major address in an Islamic capital as part of his global outreach.
He offered no hints about future Cabinet appointments, but voiced strong support for Eric Holder, his nominee for attorney general, by batting away concerns about his role in the controversial pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency.
One simple matter comes down to three little words, and on them he has made up his mind: he won't shrink from using his full name when he takes the oath of office.
"I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition," he said. "I'm not trying to make a statement one way or another. I'll do what everybody else does.''
Even in the White House, though, he doesn't plan to sever ties to home. He made reference to former President George H.W. Bush's White House getaway--Kennebunkport, Maine.
"Let me explain to you, my Kennebunkport is on the South Side of Chicago," he said. "Our friends are here. Our family is here. We are going to try to come back here as often as possible . . . at least once every six weeks or couple months."
Wild Thing's comment......
NOW it’s OK to say his middle name! If you dared utter it during the campaign, you were called Islamophobic. But now we can yell it proudly from the rooftops LOL OK so show us your birth certificate, Barack Hussein Obama!
"I think we've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,'' Obama said
The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers has got to be friendly to the homeboys, dont’cha know . We don’t need to ‘reach out’ to the Muslim world, we need to defeat and negate it !!!!
WHAT will we do if a sitting President decides to ‘convert’ to the enemy death-cult? Whammo-just like that, we’re ruled by a Muslim. WHO but a Flaming MUSLIM, would make kissing up to the Muslim World the First Priority after being sworn in as POTUS .
Whatever name he uses, he will perjure himself the moment he takes te oath.

The only rebooting we need with the Muslim World comes courtesy of Toby Kieth in the Red, White and Blue and that is to put a boot up their A%$.

The only Muzzie solution is that of Curtis LeMay, the sooner we as a nation realize that the better, their leaders take every overture as a sign of weakness, Obama is the messenger of that weakness. The UN is controlled by them, bought and paid for in all possible ways. We like Israel stand alone.

Maybe just maybe the Israeli's will shoot down his plane by mistake as it heads for Tehran.

Hi Chrissie- This is slightly off topic but some time ago I posted in the comments section and we had a brief disagreement about what I think is a series of deliberate misdirections by the incoming Obama Communist Cadre, designed to get conservatives mis-focused. Here is a link to a post at the JawaReport that makes a much cleared point than my writing skills allow:

BTW, whatever internet filter my office used has you flagged as hatespeech.

Obama is going to be palsy(make concessions) to the muzzie world and return to South Side Chicago on a regular basis to(plot and conspire) see his longtime friends(partners in crime).
His conspiracy to sell off America is called, "a unique chance to recalibrate relations around the globe with a new diplomacy". In other words Obama is turning America over to the UN.

What office do you work for Yatalli, the DNC ? I suppose thats because we disagree with Ho-bama. And if thats the case why are you working for them, 'work with'em git like'em' .
Amazing it it not, we excercise our Right to free speech and suddenly we are hate mongers. Yet , Yatalli, when your side made movies about president Bush getting assasinated you call that ART.
Your side, Yatalli, is the biggest bunch of goddam hypocrites ever.

Barack Obama like the Clintons loves to make up the 'facts' as he goes along to support the story that he wants to tell to that audience at that time. During the campaign he continually refused to acknowledge that according to Islam he WAS born a Muslim. Obama through his supporters attacked anyone who used his middle name, Hussein, accusing them of trying to associate him with being a Muslim when he wasn't one.
Now, the President-elect wants to reach out to the Muslim world and be sworn in as Barack HUSSEIN Obama playing on his Muslim roots because, "I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition,". Not true President-elect and make up the 'facts' as you go along story teller.

Reaching out to the non-violent (if you can find any) Muslim world is one thing, but licking the assess of Islamofascist terrorists and their supporter nations is another thing.

Bob A., I love that song, thank you Bob and yes I agree that is great.

Jack, good way to put it.
"Obama is the messenger of that weakness"
He sure is. He has a lot to learn if he wants to protect the citizens of the country he wanted to be President of and he better learn fast. But I doubt he will.
Posted by: Wild Thing at December 10, 2008 04:31 PM
cuchieddie, too bad Israel and our country have such weak leaders. The one half the USA has elected for President is going to favor the enemy and be so horrible to Israel. waaaaaa

Yatalli,I don't read the blog Jawa Report but I did read the link you posted in your comment. That man that wrote the article has said nothing new that I have not said, and that others on here ( Mark,Tom,Jack, Bob A and Bob F and Lynn, SSgt Steve, Darth, and all the other regulars,have not said and that I have already posted about many times.
Secondly Mark replied to you much better then I could. I agree with what he wrote.
Yatalli, as far as being a hate speech blog that is laughable. You obviously do not realize that those filters will do that with almost any blog that has called Barack Obama using his middle name. They set their filters how they want them to read/track whatever the internet.
When I used to work in an office situation, I could not go to Yahoo or Google, so you see what I am saying.
You seem to enjoy bring the news of my blog being a hate speech blog and that I find interesting that it is soooo important to you. I will tell you what someone I admire a lot has said about that kind of thing.....
Rush Limbaugh has stated many times, if the left, is not angry at him, hating him then he is not doing his job.
I am not existing to kiss up to the left, to make my blog nor my posts something they fell warm or fuzzy about nor the terrorists. I told you before I am a warrior Yatalli and you truly can't seem to understand what that is.
I have many times labeled a post in such a way to anger the left and this was done on purpose.
There are many blogs I admire, Jack's blog, Atlas Shugs blog and many of them that post the truth. Atlas Shrugs blog is awesome and she has done more work on the birth certificate for example then almost any other blog. Is she hated for this, sure by the left and so that means she is doing a good thing. Fighting for our country and taking a stand.
Since you brought it up this is your other time.

Tom, thank you, I sure hate to see this happening.
Posted by: Wild Thing at December 10, 2008 05:28 PM
Mark, thank you.

Les, I agree.....
"Reaching out to the non-violent (if you can find any) Muslim world is one thing, but licking the assess of Islamofascist terrorists and their supporter nations is another thing."
Thank you for the link to the article and the graphics links.

Holy cow Wild Thing! You are in a bad mood! I am sure that there are at least a dozen American born aids explaining to Smoking Hussein just how bad an idea it is to let we the people know what is coming. He clearly knows the potential is there.

Apparently you still aren't getting the point. You are so focused on the here and now that you have entirely missed the larger picture. I'll play in less cerebral communities.
No, the hate speech comment wasn't a gloat nor did I take any enjoyment. Just an observation. Just more evidence that of the continuing oppression of free speech by the true left.
Posted by: Yatalli at December 10, 2008 05:57 PM
Avitar, LOL no I am in a great mood.
Posted by: Wild Thing at December 10, 2008 07:39 PM
Wild Thing,I have not commented for a long time, but I wanted to put my two cents in here. Yatalli you are so far off base bud. Wild Thing has shown a great concern for the future of America and if you can't see that your a waste of her time and her kindness.
I read your blog everyday. I read it with my morning coffee, and then again in the evening. I like the comments too and am proud of every one of my brothers on here.
Love ya Wild Thing! And thank you again for being there for us at Camp Eagle.

Bill--
I second that emotion, wholeheartedly.
Re the original point: I've tried to tell people repeatedly that Obama's position on Israel is not the same as John McCain's, but nobody seems to have wanted to believe me. This is one time I really don't want to say "I told you so" but--I told them so.
Wild Thing--Ignore that fella under the bridge. We're with you all the way.
And I love that "Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers"!

Bill, it's good seeing you again. Thank you for your kind words.

Trish you are very kind, thank you so much. It is always good to see you.
