President of the Muslim World

Speaking hypothetically, what might we expect from a de facto "President of the Muslim World" in the first few days of his presidency?

After taking office, his first television interview would undoubtedly be granted to an Arabic-language television news network such as Al Arabiya. He would take the opportunity to criticize America (pointing out her mistakes and imperfections) and condemn her dictatorial tendencies. Distancing himself from the West, he would speak proudly of his Muslim heritage and of his life in Muslim countries.

Being eminently concerned with the interests of the Muslim world, the newly-elected leader would assert that "the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world." He would also make it his job to communicate to the American people that the "Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people" and would insist that Americans should use a "language of respect" when communicating with Muslims. He would be quick to remind the rest of the world that "America is a country of Muslims, Jews, Christians, non-believers" (in that order).

During his premiere television interview, the president might also take the opportunity to build suspense in the run up to his much anticipated address to the Muslim world from a Muslim capital...

If Barack Hussein Obama isn't already receiving a handsome salary for his work as President of the Muslim World, he should be getting a check soon. He's doing a great job.

Jim DeMint, speaking Jan. 27 at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., explained the Obama administration will “create crisis and widespread panic” just like its predecessor in order to get Congress to act expeditiously. “I’ve been around long enough to know whenever someone tells me I have to make a decision right now, my response is no,” DeMint said.

Space Weapons Ban

Obama wants to eliminate weapons from space. Come on here. Is there anyone out there who seriously thinks that weapons can be eliminated from space? This can't be a serious proposal. As space technology continues, some country, somewhere, is going to surreptitiously move weaponry into orbit around the earth. Only when the weapons are in place will we be told of their existence That little news bulletin will come complete with a set of demands and promises of a little spaced-based ugliness if those demands aren't met.

Rep. Phil Gingrey: "...It’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks.
