Cairo University Prepares for Obama

The stage is being set for President Obama's speech to the world's Muslims. The White House has confirmed Cairo University as the location of the address, and the campus is getting a quick makeover to host Obama. Many students welcome the changes to their campus but they are more eager to hear the President's message. Jessica Desvarieux reports for VOA in Cairo.

Realizing that the whole world will be seeing their city, they want it to look as nice as possible.

i wonder how long the place has nt been cleaned. Its all very well, for Obama to come to Egypt, The worst arab dictatorship in the whole world, That was not a good place to hold a speach, And he forgot to lecture the arabs, especially this criminal Mubarak, on human rights, the north african hitler,

When will these arabs get the hell out of egypt and give back the land to the original people. The black people.

Lately Muslims have been very demanding and bullyish. What do muslim countries produce? (besides oil from the ground)...They export terrorism.. what else?

Yes u r right about mubarak , but Egypt will never be the worest place in the world , he had chosen egypt coz it is the land of 7000 years of civilization , we were great , but mubarak braught us down

I'm very skeptical. All the Muslims seem to like Obama, and also what he says about Peace to the Muslim World.

This seems like this is all going to blow up in our faces. I'm waiting for the Fireworks Mr. Obama. I don't see peace possible, not because I don't want it. But I'm not proud to be an American, to force our longest truest ally, Israel, to give up land to their enemies for this "Peace".

There will always be war, Mr. Obama. While you can stall it, you cannot stop it from happening.

Peace!!! an President Obama seems to be the right person to perhaps turn this vision into reality or atleast stear it in the right directiion.
