"Much of what has happened so far has been symbolic rather than substantive"
"Down to earth; In its relations with the world, America takes a sudden turn toward pragmatism" by Drake Bennett | February 8, 2009"Gentler approach challenges anti-US regimes, analysts say; 'Great Satan' image suffers under Obama" by Bryan Bender, Globe Staff | February 11, 2009
WASHINGTON - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has an Obama problem. So does the leadership of Al Qaeda. Obama also presents a challenge to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, and other leaders who have utilized anti-American feeling to strengthen their grips on power.
I'm already ill at this shit and I haven't even started!
The new American president, who has tried to strike a more conciliatory tone toward some of America's most intractable adversaries, may be making inroads into reducing anti-American feeling in some distant corners of the globe: Entire bookshelves from Egypt to the Persian Gulf are dedicated to Obama; a popular Arab pop star is recording a "Song to Obama"; and public spaces that just months ago were dedicated to anti-American posters are festooned with the smiling American leader.
So the WORLD is BUYING the BULLSHIT, huh?
In response, some of the most anti-American governments, along with the leaders of terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and Hamas, are testing out their own strategy for dealing with Obama: asserting that he's no different from George W. Bush and insisting that US policies won't change.
Are their anti-Italian governments? Anti-French? Anti-German? You get my point.
I'll tell you, there SURE ARE ANTI-MUSLIMGOVERNMENTS though!!!!
Never mind that "THEY" -- Al-CIA-Duh -- is RIGHT!!
The populist firebrand Chavez told state-run television recently that Obama has the "same stench" as Bush, accusing him of meddling in Venezuela's vote on term limits. After Obama's appeal for "mutual respect" with the Muslim world last month, particularly aimed at Iran, Ahmadinejad demanded that Americans apologize for the "crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation" and immediately withdraw its military forces from neighboring Iraq.
Obama Won't Apologize even though he SHOULD!
North Korea's government-run news service, meanwhile, recently reported the country is building more nuclear bombs to defend against a possible invasion carried out on Obama's orders. And Al Qaeda leaders have sounded downright desperate by calling Obama, in the words of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the terror network's number-two leader, a "house Negro" to the white American power structure.
Is THIS CROCK of PROPAGANDA SOMETHING or what?
Such bellicose statements reflect the extent to which leaders who rely on anti-American sentiment are feeling pressured by the change in America's image presented by Obama, according to some foreign-policy analysts in the United States and abroad.
Even though the "change" is "symbolic rather than substantive"
"They feel threatened by a Barack Obama," said Hady Amr, director of the Brookings Doha Center, the Qatar-based arm of the Washington think tank. "They worry that Barack Obama will erode their base."
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
I reached the BREAKING POINT with the OUTRAGEOUS BULLSHIT, readers!
No longer angry, now I'm LAUGHING at the RIDICULOUSNESS of this Zionist crapola!!!
In Iran, Obama - whose last name sounds like "he is one of us" in Farsi, the nation's most common language - has undermined Ahmadinejad's ability to attack the "Great Satan," according to Patrick Clawson, deputy director of research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "The Iranians benefited from America's isolation" under Bush, he said.
Yeah, GO ASK a ZIONIST NEO-CON for ANALYSIS!! Fuck you, jewsmedia!!!!
If it is sustained, Obama's global popularity "could be a problem for Iran because even if he doesn't succeed [in negotiating an end to the nuclear program] he will have a better chance of building a consensus on sanctions for Iran," added Trita Parsi, executive director of the National Iranian American Council.
That may be one reason the Iranian president yesterday made his first overture to Obama, using a massive rally celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution that overthrew the US-backed shah to call for talks between the two countries "in a fair atmosphere in which there is mutual respect."
As long as the U.S. SERVES ISRAEL that will never happen!!
For terrorist groups that rely on fury against Americans to recruit new members, the prospect of a popular US president presents a unique challenge.
Yeah, the "terrorists."
So Obama is a problem for Mossad, MI5, and the CIA, huh?
Bush's unilateral policies and fiery warnings to America's enemies were often used by Al Qaeda's propaganda machine to recruit young Muslims.

New York Times Admits War on Terror is U.S. Creation
The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, as well as aggressive interrogation techniques approved by the Bush administration, allowed Al Qaeda to cultivate even deeper animosity toward the United States.
But from his first days in office, Obama has sought to signal through words and gestures that he is not like Bush.
On his second day as president he ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay terrorist prison, a particular flashpoint for anti-American feeling. He also pledged to withdraw US troops from Iraq and to be evenhanded in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
ALL a CHARADE and FACADE!!! I call it HOT FART MIST!!!
His gestures, however, have prompted a series of angry rebuttals from those who stand to lose the most from his popularity.
Oh, THAT is why ISRAEL'S P.R. MACHINE is WORKING OVER TIME!!!
The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, for example, is claiming that Obama will bring the same "failure for the region" as his predecessor.
And CUI BONO?
"Obama is insisting on not bringing any change even though his campaign slogan promised to bring change," Osama Hamdan of Hamas told Al Jazeera television.
Those Muslims aren't as 'too-pid as you thought they were, America!
Yigal Carmon, president of the Middle East Media Research Institute in Washington, which analyzes media reports from the region, said it has quickly become clear how some longtime US enemies will respond to Obama. "Some of them already call him another Bush," he said.
Oh, so NOT ONLY do they have a WINEP ZIONIST ON, they have a LIAR from the MISTRANSLATING AGENCY MEMRI!! Do your own research, readers!
Syria, which has had frosty relations with Washington in recent years for supporting terrorist groups, has also portrayed Obama as more of the same.
Yeah, let's PILE ALL ISRAEL'S ENEMIES in the SAME BOAT and call them AMERICAN ENEMIES!! Fuck you, Globe!!!!!
The government-run Al-Baath newspaper recently warned that it "would be naive of us to assess the positions of a president in a country like the United States, which is controlled by many bodies, institutions, and [power] centers."
Yeah, AIPAC!!!!!
North Korea's dictatorship, which has also stoked anti-American feelings to tighten its grip, faces its own set of problems in coping with Obama's gentler image.
Yeah, they gotta throw Korea in there to make it SEEM like they are not all Israel's enemies. The Zionist that run this government don't give a crap about Korea!
"They preyed on the fear of a preemptive strike by Bush," who named North Korea as part of an "axis of evil," said Selig Harrison, director of the Asia program at the Center for International Policy in Washington, who recently returned from North Korea.
As if he had never done such a thing, right?
Now, "they are aware that they are dealing with a US that is occupying the moral high ground in the world," he said. But "the fear of an American preemptive strike and regime-change policy is still used [in North Korean propaganda], precisely because they feel so vulnerable."
We NOW occupy the MORAL HIGH GROUND? Can you TAKE ANYMORE ZIONIST SHIT in your mouth, 'murka?
Several specialists said they worry the feeling of vulnerability could force some anti-American leaders to act out.
WARNING! WARNING! FALSE-FLAG ALERT!! FALSE-FLAG ALERT!!!!
Is it going to be something like this, to be blamed on them?
Iran recently launched its first satellite - exhibiting the same capabilities to launch a missile thousands of miles - while North Korea is reportedly threatening to conduct a long-range missile test of its own and possibly a second underground nuclear explosion.
Of course, the THOUSANDS of U.S. SATELLITES are NO PROBLEM!!

"I think they are going to be starved for attention," said Thomas Barnett, a former instructor at the Naval War College and author of the new book "Great Powers: America and the World After Bush."
--more--"Did you notice there was NO REFERENCE to Hezbollah, readers?
I guess THEY are not an AMERICAN ENEMY!!
