".@FareedZakaria: Trump’s speech on Islam “was frankly the kind of speech Obama could have given" https://t.co/mxgAJY6Qbx " — Brooke Baldwin (@BrookeBCNN) May 22, 2017
CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Monday praised President Trump's weekend speech in Saudi Arabia, saying former President Obama could have given it.
“It was nuanced. It was frankly the kind of speech that President Obama could have given. It had the kind of empathy and nuance that people look for," Zakaria said Monday on CNN, praising "both the symbolism and ... the substance."
“Because ultimately what you’re trying to do is convince these Muslim countries to in some way take on, battle, expel as President Trump said, the scourge of Islamic terrorism.”
Zakaria added that Trump’s remarks pleased Arab leaders by sounding “more resolutely anti-Iranian” than past presidents'.
“There’s no question people in the region, particularly the Arab dictators and Arab monarchs, like what they hear from Trump.”
Trump on Sunday implored Muslim nations to form a new coalition to defeat extremism.
“[Terrorists] do not worship God, they worship death,” he told leaders of more than 50 Muslim-majority nations. “A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists.”
Trump’s speech avoided the term “radical Islamic terrorism,” a phrase he often used during his 2016 election campaign.
The president, who repeatedly criticized Obama for avoiding the term, instead described a “crisis of Islamic extremism, and the Islamists and Islamic terror of all kinds."
However obama is just a very little boy and did not give a speech anything like what President Trump delivered to the muslem world. obama never did grow up into manhood, he is and forever will be just a little kid.
Now he just needs to go away and Shut the hell up!!!
The Saudi’s thought 0bama was an idiot, just as we did.
Not in a hundred years. It takes more spine then that wimp ever thought of having.
These leftists are such simpletons.
Couldna, wouldna, didna.
Would have been difficult to from the “bent-over & cheeks-spread” position.
These people are sick and not journalists.
Zer0 was free to do so, but as a muzzie, just couldn’t. Ever.
OBAMA couldn’t have given that speech he would have been a real president if he even tried !

Wouldah,Couldah,Shoulda.As its been said earlier.Obama had many opportunities to make a statement like President Trumps but he Never believed a word of what President Trump said so Why would he make such a statement?
Obama was actually on the side of the enemy.Thats why he placed the cuffs on our troops so they’d have to fight with their hands tied.

Interesting presupposition here.
CNN liked Trumps speech so much that they are trying to project it to Obama.
Of course they won’t say they loved Trumps speech, but that is what they are implying.
Wrong. The enemy islamist pig-dog soebarkha could NEVER, would NEVER have given a speech anywhere near it.
Maybe, if Obama had a brain and a backbone. But that’s just speculation.
Interesting to compare the differences between and Alpha male, (the Donald). And a beta male, (Obamma).
The Donald is a Man, while Obamma is a neutered little boy.
