"Every president has the right to portray himself as ushering in a new era of this or that. Obama wants to pursue new ties with Muslim nations, drawing on his own identity and associations. Good. But when his self-inflation as redeemer of U.S.-Muslim relations leads him to suggest that pre-Obama America was disrespectful or insensitive or uncaring of Muslims, he is engaging not just in fiction but in gratuitous disparagement of the country he is now privileged to lead."
So ends Charles Krauthammer in his blistering attack on the new "Outreach" to the Muslim world as extended by the man that now sits in the Oval Office. If such an attack, coming only days after the Presidential Inauguration is offensive to you, or if it smacks of a 'Honey Moon' Kassam, then, by no means read this article HERE.
