Keep in mind that O brought hundreds of his ‘aides’ with him. They were the ones cheering.

Thank you. Very well done.

A veritable orgy of cultural relativism by a megalomaniac.

An army of Obama trolls will now infest the comment sections of every internet site to support their cult hero.

Let the games begin, and may God help our country survive this assault from within.

Maybe even the CNN crowd is tired of watching the teleprompter tell us what Obama wants us to hear.

It's only been an hour but I'm getting a weirder and weirder feeling about this speech. I really wonder what effect it might have between Islam and the west and it might not be a good as The One had hoped (or implied that he hoped.)

Actually their homeland is Jordan. But the Jordanians don’t want them and find it more convenient to use them against Israel

Yes, that’s a direct slap at Christianity. The Moors were tolerant of the Jews at a time when Christians weren’t, so he’s using that as an example of Islam’s surperior tolerance; englightened dhimmitude.

It was toward the end of the speech. Here’s the relevant passage from the full text at politico.com:

“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.

“All these things must be done in partnership. Americans are ready to join with citizens and governments; community organizations, religious leaders, and businesses in Muslim communities around the world to help our people pursue a better life.”

In the context, the word “our” sounded strange to me. After all, OUR people already have a better life; nor do I see how “joining with muslim communities” in any efforts will improve our already better life. I can see how it would improve theirs.

The examples he mentions right before that:

development in Muslim-majority countries
open centers of scientific excellence in [muslim countries]
appoint new Science Envoys to collaborate
eradicate polio
promote child and maternal health

...are all examples of help going from US to THEM. And then he says Americans are ready to join with THEM to help OUR people pursue a better life. Like we need their science envoys, or their help to develop our country, or their help to eradicate polio and advance our maternal and child health.

Thus, the only way that “help our people” comment makes sense is if he were one of them.

In the process of reading a bio of Il Duce, because of the way Mr Obama’s facial expressions and mannerisms remind me of Mussolini. Not to mention the Facist government and the lies perpetrated to even be elected. I cannot stomach the look or to look, nor will I listen. The voice brings breakfast lunch and dinner immediately to the surface.

Womens rights will really impress his audience considering, according to CNN, that a judge has sanctioned a woman being slapped for spending too much money.

No one on the panel, including the moderator thought there were any specifics at all in the speech.

Candy Crowley was unimpressed as well.

Beginning to think that the msm is not amused at being punked by the thug during the campaign.

“Read your synopsis on the other thread and wanted to thank you, but it was locked by the mods.

Thank you - Good job”

You are most welcome. My fingers were flying, trying to keep up. Plus I couldn’t resist a few of my own editorials along the way. Glad you enjoyed the synposis. A little less dry than the original transcript, I would guess.

HAHAHA...I was thinking, WTF? It’s not even our motto. Being endowed by our creator with inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was what we were founded on pal.

I know their original homeland is Jordan but since they elected Hamas and Hamas took Gaza as their State that solves the 2-State solution.
