And so Premier Obama\u2019s selling out of America continues apace. After a mere week in office, Obama chose the Arabic TV network Al-Arabiya for his first formal interview as \u201cpresident.\u201d Like a modern-day Neville Chamberlain, Obama marches down the path of appeasement, declaring, “that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there’s no reason why we can’t restore that.” Obama is referring, no doubt, to those halcyon days of 30 years ago when Iran took American hostages and held them for 444 days. Obama\u2019s \u201cPeace For Our Time\u201d speech can\u2019t be far behind, so now we may all \u201cgo home and sleep quietly in [our] beds\u201d!<\/p>\n

During his chat with the enemy, Obama talked about growing up in Indonesia and having Muslim relatives. Is this the same Obama who vociferously abnegated his Muslim ties during his presidential campaign? The same Obama who embraced Christian values while apparently wearing earmuffs at the sermons of Reverend Jeremiah Wright? The same Obama who had Muslims removed from behind his lectern during a June, 2008, speech, so as not to alienate voters?<\/p>\n

The winds of change are blowing my hair back. Our new Treasury Secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, is a tax cheat whose domestic help has visa issues. The nominee for Deputy Defense Secretary, William J. Lynn III, is a long-time registered lobbyist for Raytheon, one of the military\u2019s top defense contractors. Lynn will be granted an \u201cethics waiver\u201d to allow him to pursue the nomination. All this, one day after the Messiah issued new ethics rules for his administration. Presumably, Geithner and Lynn can at least hit mid-range jump shots and defend the 3-on-2 fast break, ostensibly the only requirements necessary to be on Obama\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

To quote Pete Townshend, \u201cMeet the new boss, same as the old boss.\u201d But what is so dismaying is the blind eye turned to the Premier\u2019s machinations. The American media, like so many Jonestown cultists, continue to make excuses and celebrate this Chicago-style politician who wants to close Guantanamo–effectively making U.S. citizens out of men sworn to kill Americans–and granted interviews with those who fly planes into our buildings. With all respect to Chris Matthews, the only thrill I feel going up my leg is that of Obama pissing on it as he tells me it\u2019s raining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
