Obama recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times about America’s role in the world.  Remaining as vague as possible, Obama outlined what he envisions for his foreign policy agenda:

“I think we’ve got a unique opportunity to reboot America’s image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,” Obama said Tuesday, promising an “unrelenting” desire to “create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of goodwill who want their citizens and ours to prosper together.”  The world, he said, “is ready for that message.”

I’m not going to lie… I kinda like the computer analogy…  but other people were not as impressed:

Sorry, what is that message again?  He’s promising an unrelenting desire to create a relationship with peoples of goodwill?

[But] what about peoples of badwill?

What about peoples of goodwill who are ruled by corrupt and oppressive governments? Does Obama believe that peoples who need peoples are the luckiest peoples of all?

…[even so] one thing about his remarks irritates us–to wit, his promise to “reboot America’s image.” How does that work, you just hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and everything starts over?

keeping the analogy’s going here… Let’s hope [drink] Obama is smart enough to back up Bush’s foreign policy successes before hitting the reboot button.  Oh, and a second thing… Obama! might be time to brush up on your fragging skills before Ahmadinejad challenges you to a deathmatch!

feel free to continue the hilarious nerd-conversation in the comments…
