A Kinder, Gentler Gurftastic

Not really. But just wanted to point out a bit about the new Prez's first few days. Personally, I could gush and gloat here, but that's not really what this is all about. More that Obama is pretty shrewd. You'll remember the attacks of course. "Obama is a Terrorist", "Obama is going to be sworn in on the Koran", "Obama is a Muslim", "Obama went to a Madrassa school", "Obama wears women's clothes", "Obama has homosexual sex and smokes crack", "Obama will eat your babies", and so forth. Well yesterday, Obama gave an interview with the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya Network where he basically said, "America is not your enemy". But then he went on to highlight how he has Muslim members of his family, and how he has lived in Muslim nations. The very facts that Repubs shat themselves over for months, he now uses as a tool to appeal to those who would want to hurt us. Kinda smart. Kinda great. Gush, gush, gush.
