CBS News Exclusive: Egyptian Prime Minister Says Timing Critical For President Obama

Only cowards never admit they're wrong. The President is doing what needs to be done to restore America's standing in the world and I wish him well. He's going to need all the help he can get to withstand the neocons.

The neo-cons are mentally challenged, narrow minded, and scared little puppies with nothing to offer but unjust critcism and divisive extremists points of views. They are very similar to the terrorist they fear so much!

I am giving Obama the benefit of the doubt and my blessings. All that said I find the problem is the mainstream press and not :"Fox" but more like the BBC and other news organizations that filter what they want you to see and hear.
If you ever watched Al-Jazeera or the BBC overseas then you would see a lot of bias and slanted news with agendas.
They are the ones who have created the opinions of those on the street and considering that most people are less than qualified to give me a complete history of what and why they are easy prey to persuade. The other problem is the "pride" equation of the Arabs and the way they are bought up in their culture. Its more complicated than what most reporters are feeding you that were razed in Topeka, Kansas.

I hope we both agree to disagree and give respect

and I am assuming you are referinf to religion.

WW2 as an example was not about religion . Nazi Germany believed in its superiority and facism. Stalin believed in communism and himself as being superior. Amadinijahd just uses "Islam" as his way of being another little Hitler and assuming power. The same goes for Hugo Chavez as he is destroying his countrys economy in his quest to assume full power.

Rarely has any war been about religion per se and if you think Al-Quada and Bin Laden are about religion you better get yourself some reading material on the subject matter other than fairy tales you acquire off the internet.

Obama wants Islam to reform itself from negative stereotyping; When Islam has always wanted to reform the World.

I see that any time Obama sees his poll number dip he runs over seas after the news media first claims he is facing "A BIG TEST" in the scheduled visit.
OHHHH YES! Big test for Obama, coming up!
But the gimmick is that, it's already scripted that at the conclusion the news media will proclaim Obama PASSES the big test.
He's not passing anything! The world is NOT going to be a more peacefull place--but the world is coming to get the idea that Obama needs gimmicks and the US media to help him pull it off the appearances of passing "important" tests and big "challenges!".
Perhaps we will see US hospitals open up in China right next to the Chrysler plants! It's a long flight to china should you get chicken pox or measles, but perhaps he's got a plan for that after Obama does to health care what he's done to the auto industry.

This trend was obvious from the beginning of his campaign. Like every dictator he too absorbed in himself.

Like Barry's " YES WE CAN" ? LOL

[Volksstimme]

Rather than kissing up to the arabs King Barry should focus on the threat that North Korea presents to our country. But than again, that does not meet his agenda of wanting to be liked by everybody. In addition, Barry ought to get his facts right. America does not have the largest muslim population outside the middle east.

Wondered how long it would be before we got the neocons on here calling Obama a muslim. I guess they think if they keep repeating it, that will make it true. They tried that tactic prior to the election and it didn't work, but they don't give up easily. Obama is not a muslim and there's nothing wrong in reaching out to other nations. America is not perfect, we've made some mistakes and admitting that shows strength, not weakness. Only cowards never admit they're wrong. The President is doing what needs to be done to restore America's standing in the world and I wish him well. He's going to need all the help he can get to withstand the neocons.
