Didn't Obama tell us that relations with the Middle East and muslims were going to be so much better if he was elected? After all, he even made NASA's main mission to be muslim outreach. What happened? Where's the love?

Meltdown in Middle East and Obama's foreign policy
GOVERNMENTSEPTEMBER 18, 2012BY: KIMBERLY DVORAK
President Obamas coveted Middle East foreign policy is unraveling faster than a badly knitted sweater. After a week of bashing presidential GOP contender, Mitt Romney, the U.S. media is slowly refocusing their attention to the real storyAmerica was warned about possible 9/11 attacks in Libya that left four diplomats dead.
The White House is asking Americans to believe that the chaos in Egypt and Libya stemmed from slapstick, poorly made, 14-minute YouTube video trailer mocking the Prophet Mohammed. The so-called spontaneous attacks that sparked anti-American protests werent anti-American or anti-U.S. policy at all, claimed Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary. He also said the video was a misguided attempt by an individual to provoke hate in the Muslim world.
Adding to the failed Obama story line is a statement that Breitbart media uncovered when candidate Obama was campaigning in 2007; Well, I truly believe that the day Im inaugurated, not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. If Im reaching out to the Muslim world, they understand that Ive lived in a Muslim country, and I may be a Christian, but I also understand their point of view.
Its also true that Obama thought the Muslim world would flock to him simply because he spent time in Indonesia, as a child. Nevertheless, the hope and change prognosticator still hasnt convinced Islamic radicals to put down their weapons and hate.
Obamas soft approach on diplomacy certainly didnt save Christopher Stevens, US ambassador, Sean Smith, information officer, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, in Libya. In fact, the opposite is true. A Pew Research Center poll out today shows the president losing ground with the Middle East. In 2009, Jordan had a 74 percent unfavorable view of Americatoday its 86 percent; in 2009, Pakistan had a 68 percent unfavorable view of America today its 80 percent and finally in 2009, Egypts unfavorable view of America was 70 percent -- today its 79 percent.
