He is inspirational, and that is the most important quality of a leader

He also seems sincere and that’s what the world needs to see to repair the immense damage that Bush has wreaked on the State’s image and circumstance throughout the world.

I hope that he (or rather, his administration) will follow up on his speech and exert the pressure to demonstrate that the States will give preference to democratic and progressive regimes in this area – which is not currently present, but hopefully with the carrots he dangled, change will happen.

I fully agree with you that change will not happen in this area unless we – the people of this area – actually want change, demand and work toward it. That’s happening now and will continue to progress until democracy is achieved.

Anyways..

Democratic principles = American principles

This has been very problematic for the Arab world and Obama needs to do more to remove that affiliation when promoting democracy in the Arab world.

Democratic principles were founded in ancient Greece some 2,500 years ago, not America!

Democracy can work everywhere and knows no boundaries, races, religions, or cultures.

There are countries right round the world that are testament to this – Uruguay, South Africa, Czech republic, Japan, South Korea to name a few

Obama is not giving you liberalism, he’s giving you national socialism. You’ve got years of govt. jobs, increased personal surveillance, military-flavoured “community service” initiatives and fear of the other to look forward to in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Good luck.

He also promised to get out of Iraq. 80000 troops are still there plus a private army of ‘contractors’. The building of the bases has not stopped. He’s also going into Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Regarding the bailouts, well, this is funny. The govt was going in as a buyer of ‘preferred stock’, then there was the change to ‘common’ stock. This gives the govt. voting rights along with the shares. This is practically nationalisation of an industry. OK this one’s a bit dogmatic but it’s not an actual economic outrage like the Wall Street bailout which should not have happened. It’s my belief that Obama doesn’t know enough about economics to be at all effective here.

What the US people want from their medical system is the single-payer dream, which Obama promised before the election, but has now taken off the table.

I’m struggling to think of a promise that he has kept. If anybody can think of anything, please write in – my cyncism is not good for me, I’m sure.

He’s just a good talker. He’s just a rapper. His lyrics are not even his own. Let’s all ask Bryzinsky and Soros what he’s going to say next.

As for this speech … yeah whatever. Arabs make up about 10% of the world’s muslims. There are more muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa than there are Arabs of any religion worldwide. What’s a speech in the capital of a propped-up (to the tune of $1 billion annually) Arab dictatorship going to really mean to the global Islamic community?
