Obama chose an Arabic satellite TV network for his first formal television

[Sherry]

interview are you upset? President Barack Obama chose an Arabic satellite TV network for his first formal television interview as president, part of a concerted effort to repair relations with the Muslim world that were damaged under the previous administration.

[EdJ]

Upset, no, talk should always be the first option.

[Waasup]

No, he is just trying to undo the stupidest statement ever made, "you are with us or with the terrorists" Bush falls in to the latter category.

[malkavianriddler]

No I am happy about it. Maybe it will finally convince some that we are not the enemies we have been made out to be.

ill be worried when the freed terrorists strike again....can you say due process? god help us

[OldGoat]

Obama is attempting to deceive the deceivers. Get ready for the shit to really hit the fan.

[PJ]

No. I think it is probably a good idea. GW Bush did quite a bit of damage to our image in the Arabic world.

[BushrodIsbister]

I think it was a great idea! Good job, Mr President!

[im_foxygirl]

No.

[JoshuaH]

It sent a clear and important message to the Muslim world. That was absolutely the right thing to do, and represents I hope a first step in repairing the wreckage of the Bush legacy.
