Obama love

If you insist upon arguing, argue against what I said. Don't change the subject to something else.

This is the most ridiculous post yet. How do you know what these people know? Because obama is a muslim he is well versed in Middle eastern tribal disputes? On Carter's watch radical Islam came to power in the Middle East. This is so stupid that I cant even believe that you wrote it. So Obama and Carter are smarter than everyone else when it comes to the Middle East? What exactly has Obama done except give a speech that the majority of which was most likely written by someone else? He can quote the "Holy"Koran. Big deal. Lets see how well he fixes all the issues over there especially when Israel bombs the **** out of Iran.

And I find your answer stupidly moronic, narrow minded, fear-based, missing the point, and falling to the embarassing last resort of child-like personal insult just because someone holds an opinion different than you do.

I read and heard Obama's Cairo speech, I have paid attention to his previous comments and writings on the middle east over the past 2-3 years, and I am going by what he has said and demonstrated regarding his understanding of the middle east since he's been in the public eye.

I have read most of Carter's books and watched what happened when he was President (and no, I don't agree with everything that happened on his watch). But I sure as hell respect both these men's exceptional knowledge of the middle east.

That's how I have formed my opinion of "what these people know"

It doesn't agree with your opinion? Too bad. Get over it.

I was wrong. This post is the most ridiculous.
