I must say, this speech was hard to stomach. So much pandering, so many historical inaccuracies, so many half-truths, distortions and outright lies. One could write a book on the flaws of this shameful excuse for a speech, but for now I'm analyzing the most glaring inaccuracies in the first ten minutes.

I am shocked.. shocked to see a politician pandering to his audience! What an outrage! This is something everybody does every day with every person they encounter, but i've decided to get mad about this instance anyway.

He called a 1000 year old city "timeless"?! I arbitrarily assign 2800 years to the word "timeless" therefore the President, trying to create some peace, is wrong.

[OccidentalSoapbox]

So you're admitting Obama is a normal politician? Blasphemy!

You don't "create peace" by appeasing those who have declared war on you.

[Neomlf]

To weaken the US attack her economy. Nobama knows that.

Islam =TERRORISM. QURAN= THE BOOK OF ISLAMONAZISM

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast TERROR ( terror is mentioned many times in the quran) into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS MEANS BEHEAD !!!

Sura (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast TERROR into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".

this election will be our only chance to prevent obama from destroying the greatest country in the world.

@FreeIranStopIslam1 Most muslims are not terrorists. its unfortunate that Islam is dirtied by the terrorists.

[fedelede2]

@Lilim27 He's speaking about the West holding Islam as a perfect attacked religion and Christianity as evil.

[Lilim27]

so, christians invaded countries too... so what? that's what happens with any religion in history... pagans killed christians, christians killed muslims, jews and pagans and vice versa... boo-hoo. that's how religions and empires were created since the beginning of time, all around the world... why are the muslims the only 'bad guys'....? biased shit.

@jjk9999 It will work well as negotiating with rabid dogs. It always has. Dhimmi Carter proved that and now this clown is going to try to play nice? More likely he is paving the way for the new Caliphate which will fit his Marxist agenda. Islamunism!

[Bluefairy513]

@sqhschief Except that it is still going on.

[1loveshop]

Why do people care what he says?

[onemoreturn]

An excellent video. Liberals in the west want to bury historical facts about the Barbary pirates, devsirme (blood tribute), or the "harvesting of the steppe".

[sqhschief]

This is fucking retarded. All this shit from 1000 years ago means nothing.

Where is Obama's Beautiful Speach ,when the Iranians, Protested,when the Muslim Dictator Ahmadinejad was Re-Elected!!!
