Highlighting his own Muslim roots and embracing Islamic culture, President Obama on Thursday defined himself as the linchpin in a "new beginning" between the West and Islamic world.

The U.S. president delivered a sweeping, hour-long address in Cairo, Egypt, aimed at reaching out to the world's 1.2 billion Muslims, an address he promised during the presidential campaign.

Obama's speech cycled through the most contentious of issues between and among Western and Islamic societies -- from Iraq to Afghanistan to democracy and religious freedom.

He speaks for himself, not for the American people. We will make up our own minds.

I presume this “New Beginning” starts with universal apologies from the Muslim world for 911.

BO took an hour to say what Rodney King said in six words: “Can’t we all just get along?” TOTUS should have closed with “Kumbaya.”

The mullahs and OBL are laughing at our president after this speech.

And the Israelis are locking and loading.

Mr. Obama has no sense of the past. He revises everything.

George Bush already said a lot of what Mr. Obama said back in 2001 after 9/11.

Mr. Obama just told the Muslim world that if you attack us again, we won’t do anything about it.

Great. Just great.

I “loved” how Zero spoke of tolerance for all religions and how Americans need to embrace Muslims...Uh Huh, I see those Christian Churches popping up in the middle East every day.

The Muslims treat Christians in such high regard...Uh Huh!!

What a crock of S%^T!

“Obama’s speech cycled through the most contentious of issues between and among Western and Islamic societies — from Iraq to Afghanistan to democracy and religious freedom.”

So the “most contentious” conveniently ommitted terrorism?

Nice.

I agree, but this is EXACTLY what we all know was coming. We all knew that he was a fake and that before long he'd have an islamic epiphany and rediscover his roots, and betray us all.

As someone who has studied the mid-east, Arab culture, and the Arabic language for almost 2 decades, I can tell you that this is a big mistake (I’m sure most of us already know this). Numbnuts supposedly wants to convince the radicals who will accept nothing less than Sharia law that they need to sit down at the table, let the women take off their ninja suits and we can all drink beer and watch porno together. It’s retarded and the muzz-dogs are going to take it as an insult. Sure, the christians and the modernized muzzies will love it, but it is going to make the baby-killers even more determined to put the focus back on their agenda by blowing more shyt up.

The only new beginning that will work is the eradication of islam. They can’t even get along with each other when there’s no infidels to fight.

If islam is allowed to spread, it will destroy all civilization on the planet, just as it has in all the countries in which has run rampant.

This was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read it. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.

A little boy said to his mother , “Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?”

His mother replied, “Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!”

I love the picture of Obama that was posted on a Jerusalem Post video:

Snag it like I did, & pass it around!
