(CNN) -- President Obama delivered his long-awaited and wide-ranging speech Thursday on American and Muslim relations, offering a hand of friendship to Islam and addressing an array of quandaries and conflicts dividing the two cultures.
He's offering the "hand of friendship" to a people who see that as the supreme sign of weakness. This is going to cost us, dearly, in the coming years as our enemies plot and plan. Knowing that the resolve of the American people is a fleet and fickle thing, and that policy can change in the casting of a ballot, what will they do? Especially with a porous border that no one (except the average American) wants to close...
Record deficits, soaring inflation, sucking up to Middle Eastern potentates, a collapsed housing market... No wonder this guy's got Jimmuh Carter going to bat for him...
That is all.

Some people only understand force or the threat of force. Folks like that LOVE naive pansy liberals like Obama.
I'll say one thing, the nutjob leaders in Iran and N. Korea love our new President.
Can we have the air force start handing out 1000lb handshakes? I think that would get their attention better.
All the better reason to prep for the Storm on the Horizon........
If you guys actually read this speech, he said a lot of things that were surprising. He called out all the holocaust deniers, he called out the Palestinians, he called out suicide bombings and violence in general, and he somewhat talked about the unbelievable mysoginy in that culture.
It could have been more forceful, but overall it really wasn't as bad as I thought. I was expecting a 45 minute apology.
Jay,
OT heads up, check out Conan tonight as the new supergroup Chickenfoot (Joe Satriani, Chad Smith (RHCP), Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony) will perform & their new CD is stacked with some good ol' hard rock. This is the stuff you & I have been waiting for.
It's kinda dissapointing that he didn't hand out laurel peace wreaths, too.
That way he could give them a Laural and Hearty handshake.
