Yes, Marie, it seems that Obama's true colours are shining through . . . he knew that he had to downplay his middle name during the election campaign, but now he feels that it's safe to drop the pretense. The blind adulation that some bestow on Obama may soon wither when they discover that their idol is only a human being, incapable of keeping promises, and also possibly not so supportive of Israel as he made out to be. By cozying up to Muslims and Islamic countries, he is making a statement, but what that statement is, is yet to be known.
