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.

The wingnuts* in question will either claim it's a deep cover operation, or that he paid them to do it.


* Pity such a nice, attractive, friendly and useful piece of hardware got saddled with such connotations. Then again, there's a canned pork product that can sympathize.

I think the appellation is because they spin.
