That assumption is assuming Obama is too stupid to talk to people of different beliefs. I enjoy talking to people with different views than my own, so I don't see anything wrong with being friends with someone you call a terrorist. Another point is that you continue to use this word terrorist even after I have clearly pointed out how loose that word can be used. It makes me wonder if any of the 5 people visiting the politics section is even reading my posts, if not then I'm wasting my time.
