President Obama is showing, once more, his pro-Arab bias. His administration is trying to push Israel to go back to its 1967 borders, giving up, for example, the Old City of Jerusalem, which is holy to Jews. And this only on the hope that it might get peace from the Arabs.
Our neighbor, Canada, makes a lot more sense. The Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, understands the situation. The Toronto Globe and Mail reports:
It's a fine kettle of fish when the U. S., usually Israel's staunchest ally, takes a position that, compared to Canada's, is hostile. But what can be expected of a man named "Barack Hussein Obama"?

The Harper government is refusing to join the United States in calling for a return to 1967 borders as a starting point for Mideast peace, a position that has drawn sharp criticism from Canada’s staunch ally Israel.
At a briefing ahead of the upcoming G8 summit in France, federal officials said the basis for the negotiations must be mutually agreed upon.

Oh, give me a break. I disagree with Obama's position here too, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with his NAME. He's a liberal, and this is a pretty standard liberal position.

The reference to his name was really a shorthand for a lot of things. Obama may be, in fact, a baptized Christian, but he is very aware of his Islamic background on his father's side and has mentioned it to Islamic audiences. also he grew up in Indonesia — a Muslim country, and attended school there and got an Islamic education. In short, Pres. Obama is someone who by inclination is favorable to the Islamic world. It's not just liberalism.
