Some people are lookng for any reason to trash Obama. They'll flip out no matter what he does. If Obama were to blow his nose tomorrow, some people would yell, "Unbelievable! Barack Obama just blew his nose in a tissue that was made in Thailand! This is bullshit! We need to impeach him!"
There's this one guy on the internet who's completely like that. Bob Thompson, better known as Drinking with Bob. He's hilarious. When Obama said something about the Muslim call to prayer being "one of the prettiest sounds on earth," Bob just about delcared his equivalent of a jihad on him.
Now, I'm not a big fan of Obama's, and I'm not a Muslim. But I actually think that was a good move on Obama's part. I mean, he's a politican. Politicians are in business of making friends with other people. Obama's basically giving a billion Muslims a big high five, and saying, "Hey dude. What's up, Muslims? We're cool with you, man--except for the guys that blow themselves up. And if Muslims ever want to crash at our place or smoke our stash or whatever, it's cool, dude. And if we ever run into a problem, maybe we can drop by there and smoke your stash."
Anyways, here's what I think Bob should do next. Even though there's no chance in the world that he'll even consider it. Here's what I think should be next. He should do a complete 180, and say, "You know what? I changed my mind. The greatest sound in the world is the Muslim's call of prayer each morning."
And then some Muslim will be all like, "Did you hear what Bob said the other day? This is crazy. I never would've expected Bob to be down with us.."
And some other Muslim will say, "You know what, Bob? You're wrong, dude. The greatest sound in the world is when you get all crazy and start yelling."
And then Bob and the Muslim guy will become best friends, and it'll solve a lot of problems.
