Prez went to Cairo to lick some camel-jockey ass and pretend like the U.S. isn't essentially an anti-Muslim country. He did a good job of it, but then he always does a good job of it - he's a good actor.
The ragheads swooned over Prez like they were a bunch of snot-blowing junior high school girls and he was Joe Jonas. Well maybe not. They did applaud a lot though. I listened to the thing on BBC radio this morning and the limey fuckers were all basically drooling over the speech, calling it the greatest collection of words since the Sermon on the Mount. Barack told everyone that America has lots of Muslims and they're pretty peaceful and without them we wouldn't have printing or basketball players or oxygen. Then he pointed out that when Keith Ellison was sworn in to the Congress, he put his hand on a Koran from Thomas Jefferson's private library. See how tolerant we are? Our greatest semi-atheist had himself a copy of the Muslim holy book! Of course Jefferson also had the biggest private library in the whole country - it was so big that when the Library of Congress was burned in the War of 1812 they restocked it by buying Jefferson's collection - so he was bound to have a Koran in there somewhere.
All this is so meaningless it makes my cheekbones hurt. Folk who like America over there will say how great Barack is and what a wonderful ambassador he is for the US; folk who hate America will say the usual stuff about The Great Satan and pretty words don't matter, and they'll burn some shit and wave their shoes around and basically behave like the goatfucking savages they are. You can't reason with people who think it's cool to stone women to death for the crime of being raped.
