Santorum: Obama has 'embraced radical Islamic groups'

[pbrower2a]

What this shows is that Rick Santorum is a ruthless opportunist and demagogue whose sole claim to being any better than "Islamic extremists" or "secularists within the Islamic world gone awry" (like Saddam Hussein and Moammar Qaddafi) is extent and that he is a Christian (and that is only a cultural prejudice).  He is the True Believer of Eric Hoffer. He is also a liar. He has begun to show why he lost his last election in 2006, the difference now being that until 2006 he was an enforcer for the Bush Administration and this time he wants to be the most powerful person in the world. 

If anything, President Obama has sought out the good and decent people in the Islamic world as partners in change where change is necessary.  That is by far the safest course of action, and it is best done with integrity and decency. That is tricky, but when dealing with a religious world full of dangerous rifts and whose worst characters seek to impose their pathologies elsewhere, what else is there?
