Could the Obamas really be this naive?

After the President's speech to the UN yesterday, the Washington Times describes "Obama's  breathtaking naivete."

An excerpt from the Times' piece:
Simply believing something doesn’t make it so. The president’s desire for a world in which nations talk openly about their true feelings, perhaps share a good cry together, and sing kumbaya around the campfire, is the height of naivete. 
So is this passage of his speech: ” … the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace. Muslims the world over aspire to live with dignity and a sense of justice. And when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them, there is only us.” 
The New Yorker/July 21, 2008
But Islam and the holy Koran on which Muslim militant groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State base their actions do call for the extermination of all who do not follow Islam, do demand that followers kill anyone who leaves the religion, do subjugate women. For the record, the Koran contains more than 100 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama was also at the UN, where she proclaimed that America's "harmful cultural norms" are hurting women.

What is it about this couple that make it so willing to defend Islam, yet bash America?

Perhaps that July 2008 cover from the New Yorker came closer to the truth than most dared admit at the time.
