Having dispatched his new Middle East envoy George Mitchell on an eight day trip to meet Arab leaders, Obama spoke to Al-Arabiya TV based in Dubai. In his first formal TV interview as President of the United States of America, Obama says he wants to listen to the Arabs as he feels that the US has often dictated instead of listening in the past.
There are some who feel that Obama should be making his first TV interview to his own nation. Better to pacify the enemy at home before sending succour and reassurance to the Middle East.
This also sends a strong message to the ousted Republican Administration.

I was pleased to hear Obama say that if Iran is willing to unclench its **** it would find an extended **** from the USA.
Which is nice …….. by all accounts!
I despair sometimes for our precious little planet because I really don’t think that any of our current New World Order Leaders have a clue about the fact that they are not dealing with ordinary run-of-the-mill politics when they go into the Middle East giving them their tuppence-worth – (To quote a mum whose kid is still missing …… and presumed to be residing with paedophiles who are treating her like a Princess!).
The New World Order Leaders have to realise that they are dealing with religions and scriptures laid down by Prophets that originally came from various Gods at various times ……… And it’s a hot baked potato that does not need scooping out ……… and filling with cheese …….. or any other schmaltz ……… by some newly-elected President who wants to be seen to bring his own troops back out of a no-win situation.
Why oh why doesn’t anybody just go straight to the autocratic Saudis????
Oh yes! I have just remembered. Because they buy a lot of up-to -the-minute military hardware every day …….. And pump shed-loads of money into the Western economy ……… Even though they don’t believe in profiting ………. Sorry! They don’t believe in profiting from other Moslems.
Bless Obama! And God bless America!
Iran next anybody??? Or do we do Indonesia first? …….. Because it’s smaller and easier to nip round the back in case Russia come rushing into the fray with their new bezzie mates China?
It’s a bugger!
Perhaps if there’s an au courant Scheherazade she can keep King Obama entertained long enough to ensure peace in our time, with Iran anyway.
I think that a lot of this is because Michelle Obama is the Hilly Clinty of this current Administration.
Michelle Obama is the Real Life President of the US …………..
I know these things!!! ……………. She is the one to watch. She will make Princess Diana look like a fucking hermit!
Reminds me of early Clinton-day jokes, like:
Why is she always wearing a scarf? So that you won’t see her voice box moving while he’s talking…
….
… Nice one, you clever-clogs! (you must have heard that expression?)
And I always thought it was so that we wouldn’t notice that her neck looked a lot older than her face!
Kittens! Where are you?
Have I missed you? Have you run off?
Chatelaine! Have you seen Montaiilou’s post about people possibly nicking our identities on 3As? I have admitted to being Coco …… coz I am ……….
Is Chatelaine you? Or is there another Chatelaine …….. with the same dulcet tones to her posts? Of course you do not need to answer this question ………
What’s that about Coco & Montaillou? I haven’t seen any post about “nicked” identities on 3A’s
It’s a giggle! Montaillou saw me on 3As and a Chatelaine ……. and posted to us on here – not 3As
I will try and find it again.
Have searched this site but cannot find it.
Am off to play cards with Maman now
Take care!
Hi again Chatelaine! Just found it …….

Bizarre, Coco. I have looked up all posts of that night and there is NO Montaillou at 8:19pm in that thread ….
” Michelle Obama is the Real Life President of the US
Good Evening Mikee,
Welcome to the lunatic asylum!
MIKEE! ‘Fraid so! Just look at the width of her shoulders …….. and that strut ……… Not to mention the flicker of impatience that swept across her face when he fluffed the most important thing in his life!
She is another Hilly Clinton. Yes Siree!
First woman President ……… and black!
