    My good friends, for the first time in our history, a United States President has returned from Egypt bringing hope for peace with honor. Yes, we can have peace for our time.

    when will the "USA is great" speech occur? or is that not what you believe in sir? this speech is full of factual lies which is nothing new to this administration. Yes, algebra is an arabic word, but it's development was some two millenia before the founding of islam and Muhammad's ascent to heaven is 632 CE. with that reasoning, we should also credit islam for the archways of rome. Wait a second....
    lets continue... we also have the compass which mr. obama credits to islam. while islamic scientist may have worked with the compass and navigation, they certainly did not invent it. The compass is usually credited to the Chinese several centuries before the first mention in the islamic world. Recent research has uncovered the Olmec civilization might have developed the technology a millenium prior.
    i could continue, but the point has been made. while this speech is being touted as a speech as noteworthy and world changing as MLK's "I Have a Dream", i urge you to notice the applause. when do they occur and where does this fall with issues addressed by obama? i believe that this speech is another body blow to a already shaky foreign policy that obama has with the world.
    now, i have no ill feelings nor hatred of islam or mr. obama. i am simply pointing out another side of the story.

    the applause occurs every time the "applause sign" lights up.

    the speech was beautifully read by mister Hussein Obama off of a teleprompter.

    This is one of the best speeches EVER by ANY President, IMO. It's about time we engage the world with tolerance and understanding, rather than hate, fear, and saber-rattling.

    It will be wonderful when America is once again respected as a world leader. I think this speech took a big step towards that day. This speech sends a strong message to the world that the failed foreign policy of the last 8 years is over. THANK YOU, Mr. President.

    Christopher, face it, Iraq is a huge failure. The world knows American foreign policy has caused the Muslim world great suffering, and killed hundreds of thousands on innocent men, women, and children.

    If you want the US troops out, then you should agree that the Muslim world needs a better opinion of the US. OUr military needs regional nations to step up to the plate so it's not all the US's responsibility. Sorry, those 1000 troops from the UK don't cut it. I really don't see how people like you can be so short-sighted and not understand that we live in a global community, and uni-lateral ism has failed. And I'll tell you when you will get the AMerica is great speech... when he's in AMerica! As if he would go to the Muslim world, where even the "green zone" is getting mortared, and say AMerica is great. That's a good one. lol.

    if all it takes to deliver a good speech is teleprompter reading skill, as is inferred by 'c son' above, why was g.w. bush unable to rise the occasion? was he that stupid or are a different set of skills necessary. oration is not reading - please stop conflating the two.

    Obama is a brilliant leader. He's honesty make sense. His personality is refreshing. I feel secure and confident in his conviction to his job as president. I pray for his protection. I feel his presidency is ordain by God. I salute my country. I am proud to be an American. I love the Obama family. We need to hold ourselves accountable and do our part to work towards peace. Thank you God for your grace.

    "HOLY Quran!?" hahahaaaaaa suuuure I can't WAIT til these FOOLS stand before the Lord Jesus Christ =D and bow their knee before him and confess him as Lord of ALL before they get thrown into the Lake of Fire A.K.A. HELL for EtERNity XD lol HEY....put a black man in office...it's fine with me! Just don't put THAT black man in office....he's a sleeper cell for the Muslims, and you fools are too blind to see it! He has NEVER quoted the Bible in a speech..but "I'm a Christian..." suuuure you are lol look at his RADICAL political advisor...I meeeean ummm Reverend!! This girl above my comment says "I feel his presidency is ORDAINED by God" PFFFF Okaaaay, sooo God stands for abortion and gay rights and letting TERRORISTS out of GITMO =O John 3:3 ....and if ANY of you feel like yelling at me..that's FINE...=D cuz ALL of you are going to have to stand before the ONLY God... JESUS CHRIST, and give an answer for EVERY little thing you've EVER done if you don't ask Jesus to be your savior! "the TRUTH shall set you free...." President Obama....whatever you do...don't you DARE turn your back on ISRAEL!!! And do WHATEVER you have to, in order to protect Israel! Even if you have to NUKE a WHOLE country trying to attack Israel!! Otherwise GOD the Father will bring us to RUINS in a HEARTBEAT!! Just cuz someone is bringing "peace" doesn't mean that they are of God....remember, in the Tribulation after the Rapture...SATAN will bring PEACE O= ...for a WHILE tho! Until shows his true motives!! I don't give you the scripture references on these verses cuz I want YOU to look them up for yourself and I'm SURE you'll find MORE than what you expected!! Send me a message if you'd like to find out how to accept Jesus as your savior. Trust me...it's the MOST IMPORTANT thing you will EVER do =D Read your Bibles and compare what you've read and what you've heard Obama say...ESPECIALLY at 32:00-33:00 =/ WOW Just so you know Barack...if Lincoln didn't read his Bible, YOU would be a SLAVE right now!! YEAH!! Just shows you...what the world thinks is right, doesn't always mean that God thinks it's right...and what he say's is right, IS RIGHT!! Even if we don't like it....the truth hurts bro.
