What Does the Man Have to Do?

President #Compromise has bent over backward (and I do mean backward) to accommodate the far right conservatives. So much so that we think he is one. He wants your Uncle Billy Bob's vote. But why oh why is Uncle Billy Bob still accusing him of being a Muslim? Muslims hate him.
In a number of strategically important Muslim nations, America’s image has not improved during the Obama presidency. In fact, America’s already low 2008 ratings have slipped even further in Jordan and Pakistan.

[...]

There is little support for Obama, however, in the predominantly Muslim nations surveyed. Fewer than three-in-ten express confidence in him in Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and Jordan. And roughly a year after he ordered the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden, just 7% of Pakistanis have a positive view of Obama, the same percentage that voiced confidence in President George W. Bush during the final year of his administration.

[...]

In nearly every country where trends are available, support for Obama’s international policies has declined over the last three years. . . . . The U.S. receives many of its lowest ratings in predominantly Muslim nations. Among Muslim nations, the median has slipped from 34% to 15%. . . . Fewer than one-in-five have a positive opinion about America in Egypt (19%), Turkey (15%), Pakistan (12%) and Jordan (12%)

And you know what? Screw you, members of the Congressional Conscience.
Twenty-six members of Congress have called on President Barack Obama to provide a legal justification for so-called “signature” drone strikes against suspected terrorists.

  Raw Story
Where were you before the president's kill list became public?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
