Diplomacy means always having to say you’re sorry

Obama says the US is one of the largest Muslim countries

The president said the United States and other parts of the Western world “have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam.”

“And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” Mr. Obama said. “And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”

First off, we’re not.  Numerically or ideologically, we’re anything but Muslim.  We’re as Wiccan as we are Muslim, but witches general don’t have a significant genocidal streak, so he’s not bowing to them this week.  He’s pandering to the Saudis today, trying to convince them that we’re just like them.

Secondly, why does he feel the need to compulsively criticize the USA whenever he goes to a foreign country?  And why did we hear so much about how Obama is a “committed Christian” with no Muslim roots during the campaign, but now that he’s traveling the world on his blame America tours, he’s Mister Muslim?
