Coming in at #2: Obama’s Muslim Message!
In dealing with a topic that is extremely sensitive for Americans, the President hasn’t diluted his intentions to bring some kind of ‘agree to disagree’ resolution to the American-Islam beef. Call President Obama what you want but for those anti-Obama supporters, you have to give the man credit for standing his ground.
He first addressed the Islam world during his inauguration address and again during his recent world tour. That move was major! There are a lot of people who bite their nails every time President Barack Hussein Obama addresses the Muslim world. Why? There’s no secret that the President has been plagued by rumors that his Muslim ties go deeper than he’s willing to admit and although he is a practicing Christian—people are still a little iffy about it.
The President isn’t allowing that to scare him into staying away from the issue at hand and he’s not beating around the bush. Unlike former President Bush, President Obama believes that if we open the lines of communication and find some common ground then we can find ways to prevent tragedies like 9/11 from ever happening again.

The Presidents message has been long overdue. His message can be compared to an old Lakeside song,” Come along and ride the fantastic voyage.” All on one accord, peace to all.
