The Rightwing wouldn't know diplomacy if it bit them in the A$$. After 8 long years with Bush's My Way or the Highway mindset no wonder why we were disliked. Just like Bush's band of merry men he called the Coalition of the Willing he compiled when he thought it would be grand idea in invading Iraq, what a stupid term I always thought it was.

What a stark difference in Obama's approach to Islam and the rest of the world. Obama is a brilliant orator this is without a doubt.

Yeah the right would have probably gone with something like what Bush said:

"This is not a War against Islam."- President George Bush

I see the blinders are on again.

He's a great orator, without a doubt. You're right in that. Let's see if the words of this politician change the minds of the rest of the world's politicians (who also are experienced in the use of words, their nuances, and how words only mean what they want them to mean, only for as long as they want them to mean that). I doubt it will change anything anywhere. NK's timing of the missile launch is an in-your-face example of how much Obama's oratory impacted them.

Yes, selling out to the enemy, we really need more of that. Wow!

Obama's oratory hasn't impressed the UN Security Council, either.

"...the greatest prize for Mr. Kim was the reaction from President Obama. "Rules must be binding," the president told his audience in Prague on Sunday. "Violations must be punished. Words must mean something." But how are words supposed to mean anything if all the administration proposes to do is offer up yet another resolution -- which is to say, more words?
To nobody's surprise (except, perhaps, Mr. Obama's) the Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution."

What they were saying was that we've done a lot to benefit Muslims. I don't see how that contradicts a statement that says, "This is not a war against Islam."

Yes, he reads his teleprompter very well!

Bet you loved when he bowed down to the Saudi.

What a horrid little man Barry is.
