Does anyone think that Obama will be good for diplomatic relations in the Middle East?

Question

How will they perceive him? receive him.

After all, he is Black, His name sounds very Arabic and he is very pleasant.

Answer 1

Well seeing how the leader of a terrorist organization backed him.. I think we will be in the back pocket of terrorists. They would have treated Hillary with the same regard, finally we are left alone to damage the world as we see fit.  

Answer 2

oh heavens yes he would be better. middle Easterners will be thankful because Obama will take a more respective view to traditional middle eastern culture something beyond the the understanding of many Americans (including GWB and Mccain) except for those that have experienced it or people like me who study it

they wont think much of Hillary to them she's just a foreigner politician that they wont need to consulate unless she has a position in Obama cabnit  

Answer 3

Yep he'll have excellent middle east relationships.

Hilary? Hmmm... considering in the middle east women have no right whatsoever - she'll be recieved quite....i'll let you think about that.

Mccain? Dude your talking about war baby in Iraq - for the next 100 years! (as said by him)

Answer 4

obama rocks, i sure hope he wins over mccain.. everyone who likes him should vote for him on this page (and get a free gift card!!).

Answer 5

They care  about  our policies not the race or s*x of our leaders. Obama's background may  give  more insight into how they think and so he may have better policies, but he has little contact with Muslim culture since he was 10, so even that probably won't matter. Since Bush is hated around the world and become a symbol  of American overreaching, any change will be an improvement.

Answer 6

Obama or not there will still be the US's vested interest in looking after Israel.  Really nothing would change but Obama's not going to win anyway so it's academic.
