I just heard it reported on NPR that Al-Qaeda has already begun vilifying Barack Obama.  AlQ's second-in-command apparently released a recording calling Obama "a traitor to the blacks and Muslims of the world", and "a house slave", among other epithets.

This is probably not an auspicious start to his foreign-policy career.  But at least maybe it'll silence the wingnuts who say he's secretly in league with the jihadists.

Did anybody expect anything any different? I can't think of any leader of the US al-Qaeda wouldn't vilify.

It'll be interesting to see how the wingnuts spin this. Because they're gonna continue to believe whatever they want to believe. (Not that the moonbats are any better in this regard.)

Clearly Al-Qaeda is bashing Obama in order to create the perception that he is *not* an Al-Qaeda operative. Very clever. Almost...too clever...
