And this is a good thing?

I just heard an ABC report on Obama's trip to the Middle East to "reach out" to Muslim nations. The news correspondent in Egypt was gushing over Obama as news correspondents generally do. He said that when the people on the streets there heard the name Obama, they would break into smiles and nod their heads with, "Obama! Obama!"

The correspondent says this is not due to the color of Obama's skin or to his Muslim name. Rather it is because these people know that Obama will bring U.S. policy much closer to their own.

By the way, Obama also said on French TV that America could be considered one of the largest Muslim nations -- after he denied earlier this year that we are a Christian nation. Heaven help us!
