What is the jest of his speech? Er or um? No really what is the jest if you please?

Now about the middle east... specifically the palestinian / jewish solution. We’ll always support Israel (make no mistake)... but we realize an Isreal solution can only come about with a palestinian state....

The jest of his speech is that he is the President of the United Benighted States of America.

As for the gist of his speech, that's something I wouldn't know since I would rather have a tarantula lay eggs in my ear than watch another Obama speech.
