But . . . But . . . His Middle Name


Obama is now more unpopular in the Arab world than George W. Bush. From Alana Goodman at Contentions:

James Zogby, the anti-Israel pollster who released these findings today, blames the drop in support for Obama in the Arab world on Obama’s failure to put the amount of pressure on Israel the Arab world wanted and expected. But according to the poll, the Arab world doesn’t seem to be happy with any of America’s foreign policy positions. Respondents rated Obama’s policies as the least popular, when compared with other leaders, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Killing Osama bin Laden also contributed to the Arab world’s negative views of Obama. In all six countries surveyed – Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Jordan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia – the majority of respondents said killing bin Laden made them “less favorable toward the U.S.” Notably, in Egypt, only 2 percent said the al Qaeda leader’s death made them view America more positively.

Most surprisingly, Obama’s approval ratings are even lower than President Bush’s before he left office in 2008. They dropped from 26 percent to 12 percent in Morocco, 9 percent to 5 percent in Egypt, 16 percent to 10 percent in Jordan and 22 percent to 12 percent in the UAE (though they did improve in Saudi Arabia, and tick up slightly in Lebanon).

There's a quote around here somewhere that speaks to this phenomenon. Oh year, in my sig line:


“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” — Sir Winston Churchill

Here’s the theory: They hate some of the things we do for the obvious reasons (they hate the Jooos, they hate our way of life, etc etc), but they have also lost respect/fear of the United States. Say what you want about Bush, but from an opponent’s point of view you had to respect him as a credible threat. He proved twice that he wasn’t afraid to use force. He was also better at drawing a brighter line between what might cause him to strike and what wouldn’t. Obama, on the other hand, is just erratic. The only way to really make sense of some of his actions is to assume that he’s pursuing some hidden agenda, which calls his honesty into question (I know, for most readers here and myself his honesty is history, but we’re talking about how others who don’t track his every word view him). His apologies for all that’s bad America didn’t win him the accolades he sought, it all just won him a kind of contempt. Here’s a little evidence for that:

Most surprisingly, Obama’s approval ratings are even lower than President Bush’s before he left office in 2008.

I don’t find it very surprising, to be honest. Obama has made a doormat of himself and our country.

He was pretty good at bowing. Maybe if he visited a reformer in the Middle East, Assad perhaps, and bowed a few more times, it would help.

Obama did put pressure on Israel, and Israel laughed at him....
