chris: as a country who electsed barackussein obama. we knew his background, his heritage. the arab world liked that. overall has the election of barack obama opened ther doo to better relations of the islamic world or more american negativity? >> i think it's opened the door to both but in balance and on the main it's still a net plus. >> i agree that it's a net plus, particularly when you compare it with what came before and the invasion of iraq. >> i agree because after the invasion of eric and with this president and his multicultural background it is a net plus. >> there's no question as i travel around the world that president obama raised expectations that there would be a different kind of america. that can be dangerous. the possibility of disappointment, chronic disappointment -- but you told us that this would be different and it isn't. i think that's a real danger for us going forward and i think obama and his advisors understand that. chris: i think grown-up response and childish responses are always going to be interesting. >> don't look for grown-up responses.
