Please play this mood music while you read the following story.
Vladimir Putin threatens to cut off terrorists’ manly parts, but Barack Obama offers to change the mood music.
For god’s sake, man, this President of ours is not only America’s Second Black President, he may be America’s First Woman President.
Just days after catching flak for being too nonchalant, too bloodless, during his tardy response to the Christmas underpants bomber, the New York Times reports the President’s new, tougher approach to terrorism:
“And so perhaps the biggest change Obama has made is what one former adviser calls the “mood music” — choice of language, outreach to Muslims, rhetorical fidelity to the rule of law and a shift in tone from the all-or-nothing days of the Bush administration. He is committed to taking aggressive actions to disrupt terrorist cells, aides said, but he also considers his speech in Cairo to the Islamic world in June central to his efforts to combat terrorism. “If you asked him what are the most important things he’s done to fight terrorism in his first year, he would put Cairo in the top three,” Rahm Emanuel, his chief of staff told me.”
Note to President Obama: Play all the mood music you want for the terrorists. Break out your best bottle of wine and lower the lights while you’re at it. And give ‘em that winning smile of yours.
We prefer Putin’s approach.
