For someone with a name that sounds like Barack Hussein you'd think he would have at the very least a minimal familiarity with, and understanding of, both Middle Eastern culture. It's like he's purposely begging for the same response towards the "Great Satan" that Bill Clinton managed to get thinking bin-Laden would be his best friend after seeing him send our military to fight on his behalf in Bosnia i Herzegovina. Keep playing around like that and they'll hit us real hard again for certain.
Barack probably chants "Marg bar Amrika!" in the shower when he knows no one else can hear him.
*both Middle Eastern culture and radicalized Islam.
Damn you, Reason! Let my people edit!!
Cliff's Notes: The President of the United States is seeking an alliance with the head of the most prolific state sponsor of terrorism in the world, a head of state that has direct control of a military unit (Niru-ye Qods) responsible for dozens of terrorist attacks around the world, and up to 20% of US casualties in Iraq.

If you can do basic division, then you aren't the target audience for that ad.
Ha ha ha!
Dunno about anyone else, but for a while I've had nagging doubts that the United States lacked a sufficient number of entangling alliances with dubious authoritarian states.
Thankfully Obama rides to the rescue, continuing the grand tradition of American presidents who enjoy inserting their peckers into hornets nests. Or perhaps inserting our peckers at our expense for our own benefit. Because they're smart like Woodrow Wilson 'n stuff.
