Obama's Speech in Egypt

   Obama is foolish and not exactly the first one to try and pander to the Muslim world. I think they are laughing at him and us.

   Reality Check Obama. Admittingly a well thought out speech, very careful not to step on Muslim toes, but more like a campaign speech for President of the World. What was it Hillary Clinton said when she criticized him while she was campaigning for president "The sky will open up and the birds are going to sing".

   It was very naive and idealistic. I would equate it to a Miss America Pageant when they ask the young ladies what they would want for the world and they answer "World Peace." Or Mr Rogers, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood, won't you be my neighbor." 

   Oh, I can't wait until I can chat with a Muslim in Egypt on my computer and exchange ideas (sarcasm to his comment).

   Time to get real Obama! You have to stop campaigning and being a people pleaser, there are people trying to kill Americans all over the world and taking such a soft stand isn't going to make it in the real world.

George~

Pandering papp, anti-American, traitorous, crapp!

What do i think? I'll tell u..........business as usual, that's what!

I think that the peacefull and learned ones will continue their quest for knowledge, and the millitant will contnue to attack us.

Here is an e-mail i got this morning:

Very interesting. The University is standing by their professor and not bowing down to special interest groups!

Professor Wichman E-mail
Claim:  A  Michigan  professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.  

Status:   True.
The story begins at  Michigan   State   University
With a mechanical engineering professor named
Indrek Wichman.

Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association.
The e-mail was in response to the students' protest
Of the Danish cartoons
That portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
The group had complained the cartoons were
'hate speech'
============
Enter Professor Wichman.
==========================================
In his e-mail, he said the following:
===============================
Dear Moslem Association,
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU
I intend to protest your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons,
But by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians,
Cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders,
Murders of Catholic priests
(the latest in  Turkey  ),
Burnings of Christian churches,
The continued persecution of Coptic Christians in  Egypt  ,
The imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims,
The rapes of Scandinavian girls and women
(called 'whores' in your culture),
The murder of film directors in  Holland  ,
And the rioting and looting in  Paris   France  .
This is what offends me,
A soft-spoken person and academic,
And many, many of my colleagues.
I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal,
And uncivilized slave-trading Moslems
To be very aware of this as you proceed
With your infantile 'protests.'
If you do not like the values of the West
- see the 1st Amendment -
You are free to leave.
I hope for God's sake
That most of you choose that option ..
Please return to your ancestral homelands
And build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially,
I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
=============================
As you can imagine,
The Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well.
They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded
And the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty
And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.
Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray .
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations,
Apparently doesn't believe that the good professor
Had the right to express his opinion.
==========
For its part,
The university is standing its ground
In support of Professor Wichman,
Saying the e-mail was private,
And they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks..
============================================================
Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same.
Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it.
We are in a war.
This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us.
==================
and that about sums it up!!!!!!
 

I think Obama should continue on reading the Koran and take special note of the part that says "kill the infidel"  and ask any Muslim who the infidel is.....it's anyone who does not agree with the Koran.  That would be me since I am a Christian....how about you?????  Wake up America!

I think the presidents pro Muslim stance will lead to another attack on this country. The Muslims who wish only to see a world under Muslim law will see this as weakness. President Obama is a fool if he thinks bowing to the Arabs will bring peace to the Middle east.

An excellent speach delivered by a briliant president, we can only there are enough intelligent people (American and Arabic) to make it work.  Deep seated predjudices on both sides will make the going very rough. 

Obama can not be everything to everybody. The muslums have been destroying each other for thousands of years. Obama should be backing Isreal because they are the only true friend we have in the middle east. The entire democratic party and many republicans are ruining this country. Thier socialistic policies are weaking our country. We have we become a welfare state? Why do so many people of this country believe the government owes them soemething? Why can people not help themselves and stop relying on the governement? Why does the demcratic party not want to drill in this country and get off of foreign oil?? Why does Obama keep spending money (printing) we don't have in the middle of a recession?? Why does he keep de-valuing the dollar there by causing oil prices to go up?? Why does he cut missile defense spending when there are rogue nations building ICBM' that can reach the US. Obama is not acting in the best interest of our country, he is only pandering to those who contributed to his election (ACLU, Union's, Acorn, etc). Why does he continue to grow the government and putting gernations from now into debt?? Where are all the politicians standing up and raising hell about the direction we are going?? It makes me ill to see how congress continues to socialize our country. They all need to be kicked out (term limits) and we need to start over and the people of this country need to start helping theirselves and stop relying on the government. The govenments role should primarily be to strongly defend this country and not give handouts to people who simply refuse to contribute to sociaty.

It only makes perfect sense.  The connections between the United States and the Muslim world are vast and expansive.  Trace Roosevelt's dealings with the Saudi's, US statehood recognition by Morocco, US recognition of Israel, previous support for the Afghani's against the Soviets...just to name a few.  With the increase in Arab nationalism in combination with rising globalization, it only makes sense to cling to the continued increase in the power centers (economic, technological, etc.) that are sticking to the figurative ribs of the Middle East and outlying Muslim nations both in Africa and Southeast Asia.  Do not underestimate Arab Nationalism as a concept in it's own right "a nationalist ideology which rose to prominence amongst Arabs from the early 20th century onwards with a central premise is that the peoples and countries of the Arab World are bound together by their common linguistic, cultural, and historical heritage."  As a result, it's bounds are as difficult to break as American Patriotism.  So in cliche' essence, if you can't beat them (which we never will) then at least befriend them, keep them close, and watch them carefully without constricting their movement to the breaking point which has occurred on numerous occasions in the past.  As you have seen, we have strategic locations or allies in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, etc. etc....it's called encirclement.  In a related context, the same holds true for the Chinese...which is why we're cordial and the like, however, we have strategic outposts or friends in Australia, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, South Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand, Taiwan...Russia if you will...encirclement.  The point to all this and what I think Obama is attempting to do, if it's not already clear, is to live and let live without comprimising our own American values and becoming vulnerable to internal or external threats, whether those be diplomatic, informational, militaristic, or economic (DIME).  In reality and my final point, Muslims and Americans are similiar indeed and there is vast room for positive social outreach, understanding, and improvement on behalf of both sides.  Muslims are not all extremist suicidal nutjobs, and not all Americans are capitalist, egocentric, assholes.
