I have been so busy posting other people’s opinions and arguing about Obama’s oratory I have not yet had a chance to post my own thoughts on the Cairo speech or for that matter even watch it all yet.
I plan to do that tonight in video format. In the meantime, here is historian Occidental Soapbox who’s work on the Middle east and Islamic history I admire a great deal. One thing I do want to say now…
Jesus everyone relax a little. Obama does not want to kill all the Jews. Obama is not trying to create another holocaust or destroy the USA. There are indeed lots of reasonable criticisms to make of Obama his administration and his policies but when people resort to insane accusations you destroy any credibility real analysis may have. Please people, let us be better than the ‘moonbat’ ‘Bush derangement syndrome’ idiots we had to fight for eight years.

Obama does not want to kill all the Jews. Obama is not trying to create another holocaust or destroy the USA.
On exactly what do you base this insane assertion, Eeyore? Please, find a single fact, just one itsy-bitsy little gesture of his, which would back that up. Then explain away all of this:
Oh, and don’t forget his statement on the campaign trail that “Israel’s wall is a barrier to peace,” naturally not followed with a comment on Egypt’s or Jordan’s identical walls. Explain all that away and you might have a point. But you don’t.
