Obama In Cairo

June 4. 2009

"Walk Like An Egyptian"

President Barack Obama gave a 6,000 word speech in Cairo, Egypt today. Needless to say, the teleprompter must have been smoking afterwards (grin).

He engaged in diplomatic talks during his visit, in an attempt to appease the Muslim world that former President George W. Bush inflamed with his policies, rhetoric and derogatory speech.

Some are angry at Obama for his stance in this matter, while others see it as an opportunity to calm tensions in the region.
