Obama’s Duplicity

Anne Bayefsky points out more chinks in the armour of the Anointed One using his own words,  given in speeches to different audiences (one in non-muslim Africa, the other during his Cairo visit).

What Obama and his advisors won’t — or refuse to — grasp about Israel and the Muslim world

The high point of the speech was his presentation of the best of American values: democracy, freedom of the individual, tolerance, and compromise to resolve differences by nonviolent means. But as everybody knows in their personal lives, it is always dangerous to court new friends if you risk doing it at the expense of old

The Speech President Obama Won’t Dare Give in Egypt

This week, President Barack Obama is scheduled to give a major address in Cairo to the Muslim world. He is likely to reiterate what he has stated previously to Muslim audiences, that America has no battle with Islam, deeply respects Islam and the Muslim world, and apologizes for any anti-Muslim sentiment that any Americans may express. Here is what an honest address would sound
