"If it were aimed at Americans, how come so few here appreciated the significance of the term “house negro”?"
Maybe because for most of us, the civil war is looong over.
The good side won.
Though the Left - and Al Qaeda - want to fan the inevitable small flames of resentment into conflagration, I think the vast majority of Americans are disgusted and even embarrassed for anybody (Harry Belefonte included) referring to an American who happens to be black as a 'house negro.'
"Wonders never cease, Barack Obama is also of mixed race something most in the Muslim world, where slavery was also practiced for centuries, would catch."
It's still practiced in some Mohammedan countries, and I doubt you could find AQ denouncing this.

"He is 'reaching across the aisle', something the GOP seems to know nothing about."
First part of that statement is correct. You know next to nothing of US politics, and it's reflected in the second half of your statement.
I like Rahm Israel Emmanuel.
And Larry Summers.
I'm hoping Obama brings Holbrooke on board.
I noticed they will let Lieberman be.
It is driving his wingnut Daily Kos fan base crazy.
But I think you already knew that...

Looks like the AP or whoever provided this article wants to be coy with the still gullible West.
Here is another version:
"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America," he said. Mr Obama was not an "honourable black American" like Malcolm X, he said, but an "abeed al-beit" - a word that translates as house slave but was rendered "house negro" in the message's English subtitles. The audio was accompanied by footage of a speech by Malcolm X in which he distinguished between "field negroes" who hated their white masters and "house negroes" who, he said, were loyal to them.

Funny. When pushed during the recent campaign season to provide conservatives and skeptical independents with a list of accomplishments Obama had that actually qualified him for president his devotees were forced to admit that while his resume was thin we were supposed to be impressed with how he defeated the Clinton Machine.
So why is it that in defeat they are all being called to Washington by the prophet of 'change' and installed once again in some of the most influential posts to be had?

'Now they have shown their intelligence by being racist and calling Obama a "house negro".'
Strictly speaking, in Zawahiri's world - and in his native Arabic - 'black' and 'slave' are basically interchangeable terms.
But still, imagine if you were the sort of sentimental Lefty (like Bill Ayers) that actually believed in the suicidal multiculturalism you were brainwashed with and had even given your kids Arabic names like Malik or Jamal - cuz you thought you was like, bein' all down with the Cause, and showin' solidarity wif your oppressed brothers in the mid east fight and helpin to fight the man in the White House.
Wouldn't this just ruin your Yes, we could! euphoria.

Aside from Hillary that's a very male, very white and fairly aged cabinet the media's Chosen One is putting together.
"Change"?

This is one of the more interesting aspects of the Obama victory.
The Left is forced to admit Al Qaeda is for real.
Militant Islamo-fascism is for real.
Al Qaeda hate or are ready to hate Obama as much as they hate Bush.
Americans exercised their right to vote and elected Obama.
The self-loathing Left in America and in the free democracies of the West is now forced to grow up - and to repeat after Dumbya:
They hate us for our freedoms.

unscrejects:"As far as I recall, he [Obama] was the guy they hoped would lose. McCain was their horse."
Wrong again. They wanted, like smithinjapan and the international Left here, for Bush's party to suffer humiliation.
"Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:15pm EDT DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated," without endorsing a party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to an Internet video posting. "
Al Qaeda, like the Left, has been telling their base for years that America is too racist to elect a black or brown president. Takes away the bogus moral authority claimed by those on the Left and in AQ that America just can't help bombing brown-skinned peoples.

Obama's starry-eyed devotees won't stand for this!
It's one thing when lefties like Harry Belafonte call Colin Powell or Condi Rice 'house negroes' but putting the media's chosen one in the same category is too much!
I predict we may see 24 hours or even one complete news cycle wherein the multi-culti nonsense about "all cultures are equal" and the very deep "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is actually called into question - but only if the mainstream media can find a way to somehow blame Bush for Zawahiri's insult.

Obama voted against the surge.
He gets no credit for anything positive to have come out of Iraq.

"What do all those who decried timelines as 'defeat' and 'waving a surrender flag' saying now???"
And what do all those who said 'quagmire', 'Vietnam 2', 'watch the Yanks cut and run', 'civil war any day now' have to say for themselves?
"Back in Iraq, Jarred by the Calm"
NY Times Sept 30 2008
"When I left Baghdad two years ago, the nation’s social fabric seemed too shredded to ever come together again. The very worst had lost its power to shock. To return now is to be jarred in the oddest way possible: by the normal, by the pleasant, even by hope. The questions are jarring, too. Is it really different now? Is this something like peace or victory? And, if so, for whom: the Americans or the Iraqis?"

Another Clinton weasel. You'd hardly know that Obama won and HillBillary lost the bid for the WH.

"Target the Mormon church because you know they aren't going to sink to your level and respond to you. I'd like to see people like Whoopi Goldberg protesting the Black churches that overwhelming supported the California decision. Of course she won't..."
Why no protests in front of mosques?
Ah, yes, that would put them on the same side of patriotic Americans..
