i like (/s) the part where obama says the israelis have to sacrifice, but the arabs only have to provide the time is right.

[Falconspeed]

I cannot respect terrorist organizations that would kill innocent civilians and we will hunt them down.

Thankfully he is copying the language of President Bush.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Helen Thomas to Obama thru Al Arabiya.

“What about the juoos?”

[null and void]

AL ARABIYA: Will the United States ever live with a nuclear Iran? And if not, how far are you going in the direction of preventing it?

Nully: Do you mean will a nuclear Iran try to destroy America? Absolutely, if it is not utterly destroyed first...

do you notice how he says he lived in “muslim countries” plural?

What other muslim countries besdies Indonesia has he lived in?

He also mentions his travels throughout the muslim world?

I wouldn’t exactly count living in Jakarta when he was 7 as travelling throughout the muslim world.

I know he went to Pakistan on Spring Break in the 80s once. But again, on etrip to Pakistan isnt thoughout the muslim world. And his brief trip this summer doesn’t count either.

So, what are these muslim countries he’s lived in and when were these travels throughout the muslim world is what I want to know.

[dr_lew]

This is some sick s***, I swear. Obama is like the coy lass: you know where it’s gonna end up, no matter how long he drags it out.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

i agree with your comment & it’s made me sick to my stomach.
kinda’ like

WELL, now that i’m POTUS, I’m gonna’be KING OF THE WORLD based on my passport, ‘yeah, ‘cause I had a lotta identity problems when I was growing up

yikes

[Names Ash Housewares]

“their pursuit of a nuclear weapon which could potentially set off an arms race in the region”

So an arms race is possible Obama?

Only way that can happen is if YOU do nothing to stop them.

I think that sentence is very telling, he is content with living with a nuclear armed Iran.

He will do nothing of substance.

[griffin]

“There’s no actions that they’ve taken that say a child in the Muslim world is getting a better education because of them, or has better health care because of them.”

I am amazed that this simplton made president. He really thinks US campaign rhetoric about education and health care is going to motivate people who dress up their children as pycho bombers? What a naive simpleton. What a disaster awaits western society.

[DoughtyOne]

That was what I keyed in on as well. “Now, Israel is a strong ally of the United States. They will not stop being a strong ally of the United States. And I will continue to believe that Israel’s security is paramount. But I also believe that there are Israelis who recognize that it is important to achieve peace. They will be willing to make sacrifices if the time is appropriate and if there is serious partnership on the other side.”

So just sit it out folks. Just a little while longer and we’ll get some leftist Israelis that will sell their nation out, just like I am selling my nation out.

You’ll own the both of us in time.

Obama says he wants to talk to the Arab world to get their grievances, but just Israel on the other side. So I can hear the dialogue now. Look Israel, it’s 20 nations to 1. You need to concede on these 57 points. It’s quite obvious you are the problem.

Then Obama talks of living in Islamic nations, oh yes the biggest one.

This guy is a loose canon. Big surprise huh.

[woofie]

it’s a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we’re aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It’s a small small world

(chorus)

The only reason Barak Hussein spoke to them is he couldn’t get on Al Jazeera! LOL.

“and America is a country of Muslims, Jews, Christians, non-believers”

This is the SECOND time I have heard Barack Obama use this curious phrasing (the first was in his inaugural speech). It is deliberate and seems to be designed to appeal to the muslim world.

I say this because only the muslim world sees “Muslims, Jews, and Christians” as people “of the book”. ALL other faiths (including Hindus and Buddhists) are considered “non-believers” to muslims.

I find it REPUGNANT for him to continue using this classification. And the atheists and agnostics of America were blogging on January 20th that this country is “too Christian” to permit calling them anything but “non-believers”.

[a fool in paradise]

"America was not born as a colonial power" - Barack Obama, failed history I guess...

Such is life when your President grows up in a muslim country like Indonesia.

[a fool in paradise]

"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect. But if you look at the track record, as you say, America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that." - Barack Obama

This kiss ass again obviously failed history.

20+ years ago Reagan was launching bombing raids on Libya and 30 years ago Iranians were holding US citizens hostage.

It was our war with Saddam that made Momar Qaddafi FINALLY agree to end his own WMD program and to seek more normalized relations with the US.

[reagan_fanatic]

Iran’s mullahs must be rubbing their hands together with glee at the prospect of another Jimmy Carter in office.

[a fool in paradise]

Israel is an ally of the US. And what is this alliance based upon?

What are we united for? What are we united against?

Barack stepped in it.

The United Nations is not a building filled with nothing but allies.
