WASHINGTON -- President Obama has long billed today's speech in Cairo as a vital address to skeptics among our enemies abroad in the Muslim world.

But perhaps even more important, it is an address to skeptics back home and among our allies.

It has to be direct, explicit and unyielding.

Everything that 0baMaoMao is not.

But all of us must recognize that education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century, and in too many Muslim communities there remains underinvestment in these areas. I am emphasizing such investments within my country.

(snip)

On education, we will expand exchange programs, and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities.

(snip)

On economic development, we will create a new corps of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim-majority countries. And I will host a Summit on Entrepreneurship this year to identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

(snip)

On science and technology, we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs. We will open centers of scientific excellence in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and appoint new Science Envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, and grow new crops. And today I am announcing a new global effort with the Organization of the Islamic Conference to eradicate polio. And we will also expand partnerships with Muslim communities to promote child and maternal health.

(snip)

So once again Obama opens up the pocket books of our children and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

He's just completely irrelevant. A man who cannot make contact with reality at any point does not influence reality at any point.

Good one:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: How Obama's Cairo Rhetoric Could Really Unfold

**************************EXCERPT***************************

Despite the president's soaring speech on partnering with the world, one foreign-policy expert sees globalization splintering the Arab Islamic world — to the tune of an Israeli air strike, Saudi-Iranian proxy wars, more nuclear weapons, and Obama's tough re-election battle in 2012.

Obama is cozying up to the very people that taught the guys who caused 9/11. I do not think that this is funny at all.

Good post.

I thouroughly agree with this...

“You know, when you add it all up, The Ugly scenario seems like such a win-win-win for Netanyahu (bomb Iran, screw the two-state solution, pin down the untrustworthy Obama elsewhere) that it gets hard to see what could really happen in the short term to prevent its unfolding — other than moderate Iranians voting early and often!”
