Guest dog14787 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I just wanted to take a moment to say how proud I am of the President of our country, Barack Obama. A highly intelligent, kind and gentle man who refuses to believe world peace is unobtainable. I commend him for his efforts. May God Bless and keep this great man safe.

Since Obama didn't completely fix the problems of the last 8 years in 6 months, he is the worst president ever.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I think history will mark this speech as an important moment. This was something I hoped we'd see when he was elected, someone with cred who can speak directly to Muslims. Someone who can say "it's not you, it's your crazy extremists." I don't think John McCain (or god help us Sarah Palin) could ever do anything like this. PTR

It's also over five hours since he finished that speech and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict hasn't been completely solved, al Qaeda is still out there and Iran is still trying to have a nuclear weapon. He's all talk and no action.

I couldnt have said it better.
Guest dog14787 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Sorry for the duplicate threads guys, when my first thread disappeared I re-posted it because I didn't know what happened to the first one, lol , it just vanished.
IDBillzFan Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 It's also over five hours since he finished that speech and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict hasn't been completely solved, al Qaeda is still out there and Iran is still trying to have a nuclear weapon. He's all talk and no action. Funny how the only thing we're not supposed to have patience with is acknowedging that everything he does is "historic." It was a historic speech on a history day in front of a historic shrine using historic words on a day that was...welll...dare I say...historic!
GG Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 It's also over five hours since he finished that speech and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict hasn't been completely solved, al Qaeda is still out there and Iran is still trying to have a nuclear weapon. He's all talk and no action. I can't tell if it's because he's the first person to say those things or because he makes it sound so believable? Maybe he'll fix it in six hours.
DC Tom Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I think history will mark this speech as an important moment. This was something I hoped we'd see when he was elected, someone with cred who can speak directly to Muslims. Possibly...but in recent history there've been many "important moments" in Middle Eastern politics that end up being more of the same. Good speech...but just a speech, particularly in that arena. Doubly so because, in that arena, he was talking less to the Arab street than he was Arab intellectuals. There's a good chance the speech targeted the wrong crowd.

There's a good chance the speech targeted the wrong crowd. How do you figure? The speech was at a university with 180,000 students. 60% of the region where he spoke is under 25 years old. It was broadcast pretty much everywhere in the world except Iran (I assume there may be other places that blocked it out but I havent seen a list). He didn't at all address the intellectuals more than your average Muslim in the text of the speech, IMO.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Sarcasm? No one is lame enough to post this and be serious. Can they? Yeah, because it's so lame to express pride in your leader's desire for a more peaceful world.
