It’s a heartwarming speech, no doubt about it, and I see a hope for the future. Perhaps I am just too naive, but … if we just have another 10 Obama’s – world would be ’slightly’ a better place.

Thanks to Mr. Wimar Witoelar who has shared this speech.

Some interesting responds ( a complete article can be found here):

Even some extremist Web sites, which have carried statements from al-Qaida in the past, gave rare praise for Obama by calling him a “wise enemy.”

The Iranian government, which Obama is trying to draw into a dialogue, was silent. But state television described the speech as: “Too many words. Attractive but unbelievable.”

In Gaza, a Palestinian living with his wife and nine children in two tents after their home was razed in the Israeli offensive this year, cringed at Obama’s demand that Palestinians recognize Israel’s right to exist. “For a man like me, who has been terrorized by Israel, who has lost his home because of Israel … he ignored my suffering, and he started talking about their (Israelis’) rights and that Hamas and the Palestinians should recognize Israel,” said Mohammed Khader, 47, after watching Obama on a generator-powered TV set. “Unbelievable.”
