Ms. Charen, as usual, "gets it".
Seems too many can't stand what they feel is heresy when critically viewing our popular new president;
thank goodness she can see some of the thin spots (and risks) in his stewardship.
Hooray for a (well done ) free press !
Thank you, Ms. Charen.

Yeah, I agree with Charen. It's hard to see how Bush risking his political career (not to mention spending so much American blood and treasure) to liberate Iraq and Afghanistan could be seen as disrespectful to Muslims, or constitute any other behavior which needed apologizing for by the next administration. If Bush had wanted to be disrespectful, he at best wouldn't have said a word about Islam while going ahead with the wars....and at worst, found ways to curtail their civil liberties at home and not drawn distinctions between military and civilian targets abroad. Our enemies do both of those things, even going so far as to hide behind civilians. I'd say that Obama bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia, a tyrant over Muslims if there ever was one, is the most disrespectful act of all. (It was certainly disrespectful to the memory of millions of American GI's who fought and bled and died for the right to live free of kings & not have to bow to anyone.)

Obama has his nerve for criticizing America! Just how does he think he is? From Day one, he's criticized America and even his own "Church" (where they teach hate for Americans as so stated many times by Rev. Wright. Yet, Obama and his family never heard a word? Amazing! Acorn, Rezko, Immanual, Jackson and his other buddies that's bankrupted Chicago are now determined to take over America with their radical and socialistic ideas! This is why America needs to be run like a private business and get rid of the politicians and the criminals that's been running America, far too long, into bankruptcy!
Obamas' inexperience, cocky attitude and big mouth is going to get America into wars with many countries, and this is why none of the G20 is willing to help America! All the foreign countries want is for America to be without money and resources! It looks like we're there, already! Guess what's going to happen? Without Taxpayers' consent, Politicians borrowed trillions (that we can't pay interest on), so it's time for Taxpayers to sell them a one-way ticket to the countries they've sold America to, take all their assets, and pay off all debt, period!

Incidentally, I still have the old and new web pages of Mr. Obama's church!
