@Wrtbrgr87 and you are a brown-nosing, sycophantic idiot - who can't see the bigger picture. Obama is all gloss and no substance. The fact that his wife went to Harvard is a joke, given that she is a complete moron. This guy is going to kill whites and christians on a grand scale in order to 'avenge' the plight of his forefathers.

Isn't it a bit hypocritical for the President of the "free world" to hold a speech in a country that has no electiosn and is run by a dictator for the last 30+ years.

Bravo! I am atheist and everything I ever wanted to say to the Abrahamic faiths he just said. I was ambiguous about this president, but now I feel he is the link that was needed from years ago. It sounded utopian at times, but as MLK said "I have a dream.." and that's where it begins. Bravo!

world expect a right solution to middle east

Stop support Israel. Use the ideal of justice Mr Obama. Life short , we need peace not war. Oil promote the war , stop to use it , it´s simple. Take a look at the sun and wind advantages, and explore it.

This technologies allows to create jobs and face crisis. Solution it´s here.

God bless all nations

Best regards from Portugal

United Nations?

There is a big dissconnect between the whats going on and what half of the people in the middle east think is going on. The women cant even go to school how do you expect them to learn what is threat and what is friend, they have not learned the logic of blowing yourself up is not worth it.

I disagree, I think it's very narrow-minded to say that he should only focus on the US and not worry about the rest of the world. By reaching out to others, you protect yourself. This is precisely George Bush's fatal flaw, he alienated the world and because of it, we were less safe. The Bin Ladens of the world use that kind of anti-american sentiment to promote their cause. If you have a humble and friendly US, then those masterminds can't justify attacking us. Obama is very intelligent.
