Ich Bin Ein Muslimer!

Obama was standing next to German premier, Angela Merkel, giving a speech, and you could see visibly she was not happy. Why? Obama was putting down the Germans for something they did 60 years ago. And this, one day after he was praising the Muslims in Cairo.

Barack Obama; Dreams of his Mustache

Barack Obama continues to slowly reveal himself to the people he has been elected to serve.

He told us something about himself when he put the murder of an abortionist over the murder of one of his soldiers. The death of the abortionist was immediately condemned with a security deployment ordered. It took days upon days for the death of his soldier, at the hands of a convert-to-Islam intent on mayhem, to be acknowledged with the release of a woefully inadequate and rather cold expression of "sadness" at the murder of a soldier who had volunteered to serve under him. Barack Obama revealed himself in those stories.

And now, he is in Cairo, saying Ich Bin Ein Muslimer!

In Obama's giving a 6,000 word speech we see his lighter side as he lectures the whole world, and everything that has ever come before him, with the lolcats messages, "yer doin' it wrong! I fix!", and "I wuvs you, now be nice" and "Interwebz is danger!"

Speaking of self-revelation, in the past President Obama has written and talked about how he has been exposed to Islam all his life and has stated that the Muslim Call to Prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth". He then recited the call in "a first-class accent" (that line no longer exists in the New York Times). Just recently Obama - who made a fuss if anyone mentioned his middle name, Hussein, during the 2008 campaign - has made much of his familial connections to Islam.

The Muslim Call to Prayer is rather pretty, and I can't imagine why the NY Times would feel the need to edit out how perfectly Barack Obama can recite it. I myself can recite the Shema very well in Hebrew and it doesn't necessarily make me a Jew. Odd, that. I always thought press reports, once filed, were left alone, unless corrected with appropriate notation.

Anyway, as Obama sojourns through the Muslim lands that must feel very familiar to him, lecturing and even quoting from Koran in Cairo, he seems, as evidenced in the picture above, to be raising a mustache.
