President Obama is astonished that the Arab and Muslim world does not view him as anointed and holy, and is wonderfully perplexed that they see him as weak and vacillating, and above all a man of many promises who has not fulfilled any of them. They expected the first Muslim president to kill all the Jews for them, to cure the many ills caused by others that befall the worthy disciples of Mohammed, and in short, to deliver the West in general and the United States in particular, into their hands. In this he has failed, though not for lack of trying. Arabs, however, do not count trying as a virtue. They want results, and they want them now. 

 

 

The desert moon now shining bright

The camels tucked in for the night

The fire banked to just a glow

An Arab spat and said, you know

That hopey changey guy’s a fraud

He promised us that we’d be awed

By all the wondrous things he’d do

I haven’ seen a thing, have you?

The other Arab sighed and spat

He dissed the Jews, but what is that

He said that Palestine was ours

That he and all the other powers

Would force the Jews off of our land

But here we are, still pounding sand

No better off the first guy said

It’s late and time to go to bed

A little love before the snores

My camel now, tomorrow yours
