Snub or strategy?

Prashant,

I fear that you underestimate Obama in his tactics and his bungling of foreign policy. The truth is, he is both a bungling inexperienced fool who has made countless errors and faux pas in the world arena and lessened the standing of the US in the world by kowtowing and bowing to hostile enemies while rejecting and neglecting trusted allies.

But behind the bungling is his sincere political affiliation which is anti Israel and pro-Arab/Muslim. Whether this is based on his own background (Muslim family) or on his education under the tutelage of leftist anti-Israel types/political expediency is up for debate (though I vote for the first option given his identification as a teen with his Afghanistani roommates and ensuing travel)

Either way, snub is not a word that even begins to describe it.
